My friend's son (4) wants a Disney Princess for Christmas

And she is unblinkingly getting it for him because why not

And I just think this is how we future

Clergs, my middle nipper is getting a Nintendo "switch" do you think this is encouraging gender fluidity?

We have got him some pokemon games but also some Mario ones so hopefully that will BUTCH him out.*

 

 

BC, the rapid transactivists claim that there is a spectrum of gender where feminine means you like dolls and masculine means you like trucks. Which is a sexist load of shit.  If boys like dolls, it doesn't mean they are feminine, it means they are boys who like dolls.

It is good that RoF haz it's own poor men's Katy Hopkinses in sensible shoes otherwise it would be so boring no one would read it and the moderaters sock puppetz would have to earn the dosh by posting linkz to popular news sites like the Daily Mail and Tellygraph wot pays them for the traffic..

Mini Invictvs' best mate, until last year, played with Spider Man and Barbie. My son laughed about it a while back but that was it. Really nice kid and a solid mate to my son. 

Most of my mates growing up were into PC and online gaming. I used to think it was male dominated, until I received an arse whopping by a Welsh lass while playing Evony. 

tc - I think you may have (like I think Merkz may have) read Clergs' OP as negative in tone, whereas re-reading it now I realise it wasn't intended as such but could easily be construed as such on a quick view.

O I C

yeah cool

It’s kind of how it is, these days 

mind you I was in John Lewis the other day and they have allegedly made all their kids clothes gender neutral but they’ve still split the shop into pink sparkles and skirts section and checkered shirts and dinosaurs section. 

I think on initial reading the OP comes across as complaining rather than endorsing. I myself had to read it twice (then again I am a bit thick and most of the stuff I have noticed from OP in the past have been "Outrage" type posts).

If gender and enforcing gender are bad, why the hell would you care if a boy plays with a disney princess?

Id unblinkingly get it for him because why not

Not actually Poe's law. I don't know what this one is called (hotnow's law) but I often read comments on Reddit or online where it's a load of stuff like "these people are dangerous extremists blah blah" and you have know idea if the commenter is for or against the thing, person or policy they are commenting on. "Awful", "evil", "dystopian" could be either side of the debate these days. Centrism is not is fashion.

one minute they're obsessed with Disney princesses, the next they want to be an international dress designer and interior designer.  

 

if he's the next tom ford that would be just great.

This.

My little cousin loved dolls and dressing up as a fairy until he got to the school when the influence of his peers took over from the influence of his big sister.  He now likes DM's and dungarees so may still be a lesbatron in the body of an 11 year old boy.

Thankfully all of my children are less bothered by Disney princesses.  I got a client invite for a premiere of Frozen II which filled their faces with horror.  We declined.

I guess there may be a bunch of extremists who think that liking toys makes someone a girl but if there is that's nonsense

Clergs is also trying to draw a wider point about trans rights but I'm not sure what it is

Heffalump what I said had nothing to do with "trans rights" (good biased use of language there) and everything to do with the damaging way in which we still perceive humans.

Only now the "left" think they are progressive when the opposite is true.
