Gender Roles in Clothing/Accessories

[failstoexist]

OK, so I was reading this post and it got me thinking. For those who don't want to click the link, it's a woman whose 2 year old broke his arm and pointed to pink as the color he wanted for his cast. the woman said no because "that would've gone over real good with daddy!" and he got his second choice, neon green

Go thing she didn't let him get the hot pink because that obviously would have sent him on a track straight to Homoland.
It's like my friend's ex freaking out when their son hugged his friend Kyle at two or my best friend's brother freaking out because our boys hold hands and kiss all the time.

See I might have thought you were making that up before someone on my birth board had a boy after expecting a girl. The father would not allow the child to be swaddled in the pink blanket and had to repaint the room (its was painted pink) before his new son was allowed to sleep in it. Amazing that people that stupid exist.

Men with small penises and that are sexually insecure often react like that. ;)

well OBVIOUSLY. what if he caught...well...you know. ;)

I cringed when my cousins painted their daughter's bedroom pink and their son's blue. i mean i almost threw up. i am so lucky my mom never let me paint my walls pink...i had a pink bed, pink drawer knobs, shades with pink flowers on the windows, a flowered lampshade with pink base, pink sheets, and a pink blanket...but ALL of that went away (except the bed) the second I was done with pink, and the bed went away shortly afterwards when I got my "big kid" furniture. now i have white furniture that's even a little too girly for me in my room at home, but it's far better than pink...if the walls had been pink too, it would never have gone away.
