Mums who refuse to let their young daughters wear pink

Yes Yes Yes!!!!

One of my massive pet hates is seeing girls padded out in pink, tutus, generic crap from Disney's® Frozen™, talk about lacking individuality if a girl wants a Frozen© Ella costume®. And then there are those beyond tacky hair band bow on short haired baby girls which scream anxious mums shrieking "it's a girl honest!!!!"

They don't do this hair bow and pink nonsense to their sons, so why daughters? Bringing up daughters more gender neutral IMO is the first step in de-bimbofying girls and moving away from pink fluffy bimbo culture that had envoloped girls recently in these Kardashian era times. Hopefully these de-pinked girls will play more with toys - lazily deemed boys toys -take a less interest in being girly whily and whimsy and who knows we will see more female scientists, chemical engineers, female Mark Zukerbergs, air traffic control wardens and less beauticians, YouTube make up bimbo bloggers, air line hostesses.

Grrrrrrrrrrr.

Seems a bit ridiculous. The part where she said she wouldn't buy her daughter a Peppa Pig swimming costume is where I realized. This isn't a 'broad upbringing'. This is an uprbringing limited onto the gender neutral clothing/toys etc, perhaps just to prove a PC point?

Total load of garbage.
Most kids will ask for what they want to wear from a very early age.:shrug:
My daughter wore pink occasionally...but then so did my son.
The only thing I drew the line at was frilly little dresses, purely down to my hate of ironing them.

yes as this is exactly what they should be focussing on

:rolleyes:

I have two sons and let them pretty much wear most colours and clothings they wanted to wear through their young and teen years. One of the favourite pieces of clothing of my oldest son's was a pale pink shirt which he looked good in.

Agree, these kids will probably grow up with issues because they couldn't wear pink and will go on killing sprees of people dressed in gender neutral colours :notimpressed:

Surely not being allowed to express yourself in the way you want can be damaging as a child?

the reason you dress babies in pink and blue is so that people can tell if they are a boy or girl

Kids should be allowed to wear whatever colours they want, they're just colours :shrug:

Did you misread my post because that is what I am saying :laugh:

yeah I'm agreeing :)

Oh sorry yeah I get you now, kids generally want what their peers have, not allowing them to wear a particular colour because Mummy and Daddy want to make a stand is pretty ridiculous

i'll be dressing my kids in all black

Refusing to buy them pink things that they are ASKING FOR does not make them gender neutral. Ffs. :facepalm:

And the "owner" of a "parenting website" to boot. :rolleyes:

Christ, get in the real world love.

Maybe she should focus on the effects feeding her five year old Costa Coffees is having on her health rather than what colour swimming costume she wants to wear.
