That's what I want to know. Why do some people act like it absolutely should NOT happen to their sons? If it's not because they're holding onto some ancient narrow minded homophobic paranoid idea that playing with dolls and such will turn little Johnny queer, then what is it?
'Boys and girls are not equal' isn't good enough. 'If he wanted to wear a dress, would you approve that too?' isn't good enough. There has to be an ACTUAL reason, some actual THREAT of what will happen to the little boy if he plays with girls' toys for some people to be so deathly opposed to it. Otherwise, why let girls play with boys' stuff? After all, isn't that going to make little Jenny grow up to be butch and wear flannel and play softball if playing with Barbies foreshadows Johnny's coming out party?
