Is Cavendish really that uneducated?

From a recent cyclingnews article:

"CN: You have a baby on the way in April. In the future, when you're
bouncing your grandchildren on your knee, what would you prefer to tell
them about 2012 - that you won another green jersey at the Tour de France
or that you won Olympic gold in London?

MC: Well unless I have a son I’m not having grandchildren! But there is
no preference. Both are completely different things. I’m setting out to
do them both and I believe that I can win them both. The fact that the
Olympics are in London does make it extra special. But only extra special
over other Olympic Games in the future – not over the Tour."

Does he not realize that a daughter could also bear him a grandchild?

In England we kill female children at birth to avoid expensive dowry costs.

I was going to do a witty reply but it would have been superfluous so
"POTW" will do :-)))

Perhaps it's the name thing, i.e., a male child would mean grandchildren
with his last name whereas a female child would not.

NB: We did what seems to be an usual thing here, giving our children two
middle names, the second of which is my wife's last name.

Perhaps he thinks his daughter would look like him.

That would be unfortunate although it would make her a shoo-in to be the best
female sprinter of all time.

Is that something you learn in school? I'll give him the benefit of
the doubt; he was probably thinking about not letting any hairy ass
man near his precious daughter. But probably only Cav knows the real
context.
