I understand the principle may be applied to royal families, who's business is to maintatin their noble blood. They have to have sex in order to have child, at least one boy. If they two or three daughters, it's considered they could not carried their duty, and still "expected" to have another one.
Princess Masako is suffering from severe depression for long time, yet a scenario that she would have a boy still exists. Sorry for them.
