Maternal Stress Tilts Odds toward Female Births

 Stress in females creates hormonal responses that tilt the odds toward female births. Apparently stress alters hormonal levels making it more difficult for sperm carrying y chromosomes to make it through cervical mucus to reach an egg. Sperm carrying x chromosomes are more efficient at navigating the obstacle. 

So a man may be quite stressed without affecting at all the odds for birth of either a boy or girl so far as present knowledge goes.
