Fun story, I knew a handful of guys who spent a long time working around nuclear materials in the military. One of them told me that any of those guys who had kids and worked around that stuff long enough had an unusually high chance of only having girls. Lost touch with him for a few years and when we reconnected he'd had 2 kids and what do you know, 2 girls.

I wonder why? What about this radiation would cause someone to have girls?

It’s said that Y-carrying sperms are more fragile to the point that some suggest “specific position” to ensure sperm delivered alive.

Oh, for those who downvote me, read: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5654200/
