There are no women here. Rural India has a better gender ratio than Sillicon Valley.

How about compare to an oil town in Alaska? There are plenty of women around rural India (as far as I can tell!).

Empirically, in some places in India proportionally fewer females are delivered.

That is just birth rate. In Alaska, everyone in these oil towns are migrants, and most are men. The migrant situation is more analogous to what is going on in SV then what is going on in India (people in SV aren't having sex-selection abortions!).
