Completely agree, girls should be brought up like boys ie gender neutal. No pink, no glitter, no (Disney) princess airhead crap. Boys toys are stuff are vastly superior and should be what girls are encouraged to have. I refuse to buy nieces anything pink or girly.

Just give me a reason why. Go on, try. There'd be trouble for these stupid girls if this happened. Who knew this colour leads to gender stereotyping - oh that's right, nobody knows. Blow me (one last kiss).

A progressive article in the Mail? Is this real life?
Then again they're probably just trolling the commenters

So long as parents do not force their kids into pink.
If they like Pink
then let them have it

This article would have been better suited to have been published on April 1st.

I had exactly the same thoughts. :laugh:
It's correct though. Encoding gender within colours is stupid, so why not break that habit?

I doubt the colours you wear as a child has any kind of effect on you in the long run. The colour of the clothes a baby wears is irrelevant, it's their genes and experiences which shape who a baby will grow up to be.

So forcing them into girly stuff isn't right but making them do boy stuff is "neutral"? :crazy:

'Boys toys are stuff are vastly superior and should be what girls are encouraged to have'
Yes a rather contradictory statement :laugh:
