Sure why not. I'd let a kid do just about anything so long as it's not hurting them or anyone else. If a boy wants to play with girls toys, what's it gonna hurt? Parents objecting are just afraid of what other adults will say about their kids & their parenting if it gets out their son has a tea set.

Would you allow your son to play with girl toys?

Charming as that segment seemed, they were naive IMO. If his parents are going to let him wear girls clothes, then they should enroll him in a karate class too because by the time that little boy gets to junior high, the "cuteness" of his liking to wear beautiful things is going to wear off and his classmates are going to be harsh. You can be as idealistic as you want at home, but there's a whole outside world that parents need to be mindful of.

But how do you know by the time he's in junior high he'll still be wearing them? You don't think it's possible he could outgrow it before then?

That is SO true. And it might backfire on you if your son gets mad at you for letting him play with Barbie and playing dress up. I know there is some shit I'm mad at my parents for letting me do. But I digress.

Why would he be mad at them for LETTING him play with what he wanted to?

Easy. Picture it, Gator Creek, Georgia, 2020.......Mommy and Johnny are having a conversation in the kitchen. Johnny is 18 yrs old. (And please forgive me, I'm not putting much thought into this dialogue.)
"Mommy, I'm 300 lbs! Why am I so fat?!"
"Well honey, you were always eating cheeseburgers and ice cream and you only sit in the house and watch t.v. and play video games. That's not good for you"
"Well, I've been doing it all my life. Why did you always buy that junk if it wasn't good for me?"
"Because you wanted it"
"Why did you let me sit in the house all day?"
"Because you wanted to"
"I wish you would've said something to me about it. I didn't think what I was doing was such a problem. You're a horrible mother. I'm a fat ass because of you!"
Get it now? It's that same concept.
