I think the idea of Gender Neutral parenting is pretty pointless, If the boy shows signs of wanting to play with dolls and such then support him but don't force it on him. I just think this parenting style is going to cause more problems down the line then it's going to solve.
The thought that raising a boy traditionally creates aggression is moronic, confusion causes aggression, hardship causes aggression and resentment creates aggression among other things. The boy's going to be confused as hell when he grows up and he'll possibly even resent his parents for raising him in that way. It's an idealistic and ultimately flawed way of raising a child.

Yes exactly, it's very bad and self indulgent parenting imo. I agree very much with what Smudgie said also, if you don't want a child to play with just "boy toys" etc because society tells you that's what they should be doing then give them all the different options and let them choose themselves. Don't blatantly separate the two and give them separate times etc, that's only enforcing the gender stereotypes
