Kids and Gender Neutral

[Sakura Michiko]

Also i find it quite ironic that Allowing boys to play with half naked muscle men (Action man in my day or wrestling figures) was more masculine than playing with an Half naked (or completely naked) Doll based on the female body.

Strange how these things play out when you look at them properly XD

This is exactly what I was thinking XDXD

 

[obito uchiha the wraith]

So what if your boy wanted to play with doll and your girl wanted to play with action figures?

id throw them away and make them read

 

[obito uchiha the wraith]

So what you're saying is that you're going to follow social norms and gender roles?

no im saying i dont want a sissy boy and i dont want a manly girl. they can be whoever they want as long as its not that

I'd encourage them to play with things geared towards there gender. But if they are super not into it and into the opposite gender toy every time in multiple scenarios, I would let them play with opposite gender toys.

But the last thing on my mind I want to think about is kids, I'm good for a long while.

^This. Also, I would like them to play with other kids and toys instead of digital games (until a certain age ofc).

MMA and weapons training are gender neutral so I should be good.

Because 5 year olds aren't thinking sexual things about their toys. You're disgusting.

OT: If my kid is a boy, he's going to be raised as a boy. If my kid is a girl, she's going to be raised as a girl. Call it stereotyping or whatever other stupid label you want to put on it, I don't care. It's how I'm going to raise my kid(s).

I was talking from a parents/adults prospective. Parent's think it's more acceptable or Young boys to play with Buff Muscle men than it is to play with female Dolls.
That is quite counter productive i think.

@ Bold: Exactly my point, If they aren't capable of thinking about such things, Why does it matter if you allow them to play with Girly toys or not.

My Lil boy gone have Lego's, a couple Dragonball action figures and maybe a game console when he gets old enough and his grades are good. He is only going to watch show's from 1996 to 2012. Not that poor excuse for a t.v channel now called cartoon network.

So you are following gender roles. :eww:
Gender roles are cultural and personal. They determine how males and females should think, speak, dress, and interact within the context of society. Learning plays a role in this process of shaping gender roles. These gender schemas are deeply embedded cognitive frameworks regarding what defines masculine and feminine.

 

[6thHokage]

What if he wants to?

I won't allow it.

 

[Sakura Michiko]

I won't allow it.

Aww that poor child.

whatever floats your boat

 

[Risuna23]

Lol they'll be lucky to even have toys Lol

It's not really whatever floats my boat. What you said was actually called gender roles. I think it's amazing how some people will restrict their kids lol but you don't want a "sissy"boy or "manly" daughter. Clearly restricting them in the right choice(sarcasm).

 

[Wabbit]

Nope, I would nt smack the boy for playing with Barbie though

Do you think gender is a social construct?

[Multiply]

Why? So when I buy my boy an action figure I can be called a misogynist by feminazi's? What's wrong with letter your child play with toys made for their gender? If my girl wants to play with action figures, I'll buy them for her. If my boy wants to play with dolls, I'll get his ass a John Cena doll Lol.

That not really. Our genital areas are made to do different thinks. I don't have a problem with calling someone a boy or girl but if they want to identify as the opposite gender than I'll call them by that gender.

well when they grow up they can do whatever they want but as long as they live in my house they are gonna live the old fashioned way.

Define that? Also are you afraid of your kid being a homosexual or something?
