Haha!

Well, if that was my kid, it wouldn’t be other kids beating his ass, it would be me.

I want to, as four60 said, throat punch the father. Yeah he’s really just like “any other kid” except he’s on national TV in a fucking pink dress and a tiara.

I wouldn’t accept my kid dressing like a girl or acting gay. I’m the motherfucking parent, get out of here with this “expressing” themselves. They aren’t even old enough to spell their own name, let alone have any kind of self to “express.”[/quote]

My kid could spell her name at 1 year old. So…[/quote]

did you put her in flannel shirts and buy her tonka trucks?

This is child exploitation at its finest. The parents have doomed the poor boy to a life of ridicule and low self esteem to get their 15 minutes. That child is too young to make his own choices (I’m a daddy). If that offends the bleeding hearts, sorry. Expressing yourself like that needs to be kept private. Its a nasty world out there. Children should be raised to survive the world without inviting negativity into their lives.

I do not disagree with your assessment of the situation, I was just saying that kids can express themselves at an early age.

My daughter has trucks and we will not allow princess stuff in the house.

I have 3 girls. “Princess stuff” and “macho stuff” aren’t mutually exclusive with girls.

The 2 that are old enough have been fishing with me since they were about 3.5 yo. They used to go in their little princess dresses and fish with their Barbie and Disney Princess fishing rods. One caught a striped bass on one. The other a decent sized pickerel.

They also used to climb trees and look for salamanders in their princess dresses and muck boots (muck boots being a necessity for life in semi-rural Maine).

On topic-- I think this is way more about the parents than it is the boy, but who the Hell am I to judge? They’re making their beds, so to speak-- they’ll perhaps have to lie down in them in just a few short years. I hope the book sales are worth the price of exploiting (IMHO) their kid.

I have a young nephew who has been surrounded by girls all of his 6 years. 4 sisters, 5 girl cousins (3 are mine), 3 aunts, no father in the picture. He plays like a girl. He’d rather “do crafts” and dance than go play ball or trucks (this makes my mother-in-law cringe lol).

I’ve seen him run around in a princess dress, and his mother (my sis-in-law) thinks it’s funny (because it is), but you can be damned sure when he’s out in public, he’s in pants and boy clothes and wears a jacket in the family photos… To be fair, he does play with cars/trucks/action figures, too, but he’s got definite, uh, effeminate side even at that young age.

Squatz and milk, brah. Get him under the bar.

I don’t see a problem with a little kid doing that. At that age, boys and girls have not diverged that much yet. He might be bullied if he does not grow out but other than that, I see no problem in him wanting to wear a certain cloth. Especially if it’s just ‘feminine’ colour. Just a few decades ago it was still OK for macho men to wear pink. The miscegenation that it took to produce him worries me more, as an international phenomenon.

44

I don’t think how the kid plays is a big deal. As many have pointed out here, he is still very young and doesn’t really know better to an extent. The problem here is the parents using it to get cameras on them. I have a daughter, and no matter what, I will always be proud of her. The thing that scares the crap out of me, and keeps me from ever making a stupid decision like exploiting something she would do to become famous, is wondering will she always look back and be proud of me? Do you think this kid is gonna be proud of his parent’s decision in twenty years?

If I ever have children they will not be allowed to attend a school where a peanut is considered a deadly weapon and “tolerance training” is pushed upon them to ensure no child ever gets their feelings hurt. Adapt to societal norms or face the consequences. If this kid decides he wants to wear dresses throughout his adolescence and into adult hood, so be it, but don’t brain wash other children into thinking that behavior such as that is normal and should be accepted.

i think the take home argument from Chris is that there’s a difference between his son being potentially gay, and his son acting like a sissy.

the kid draws pictures where he is a princess in a castle waiting on being rescued? i wouldn’t want to encourage that kind of thought process either

then again, i’m a young 20’s punk kid, so what do i know

I don’t think BChris is much older than you are.

Come to think of it, I don’t entirely agree with what I wrote myself. Not everything I write yesterday agrees with me today or tomorrow. I am glad to learn what you think on the subject. The next time you are free we should visit and we will hash this subject out for eternity.

Brother Chris.

He can be whatever he wants and what he is is not the business of any wanna-be macho here.

It seems to me that being a tomboy is much more acceptable than being an effeminate male. I say this having been a tomboy (I guess you still could say I am but it seems a silly description for someone older than like 15), the only person to ever have a problem with it was my mother. Why is this socially acceptable but being effeminate is not? Not trying to sound accusatory, genuinely curious on people’s thoughts of this.

All I know is that when I was his age, I could throw a football over those mountains. I would have taken State, had coach put me in at 4th quarter. Things would have been different.

I’ll tell you though, if my boy ever displayed such queer-sexual lolli-prancing, I’d duct tape a football right to his hand, then and there. He’d know never to let go of the football…because after this it’s just babies and memories. Babies…and memories (PimpBot looks at some arbitrary point out the window, takes sip of Pabst Blue Ribbon, and begins sobbing)

i have met/dated plenty of women (especially in the military) who could out PT plenty of boys, and enjoyed crawling in the mud / shooting guns like the rest of us(guys).

that being said, they still knew how to dress up and look pretty when we went out.

i would not want to hang out with a girl that acted like a boy all the time. that’s why i have uh, guy friends and stuff.

Did you grow up in North Carolina? If you did the North Carolina is slacking and I need to have a talk with ya’lls president wolbarret. Because, tomboys were outcasts when I grew up and they still are.

They are not ridiculed as harshly as this kid will be, but I tell you what, they sure ain’t accepted from where I have lived.

Have you ever wished you could go back in time?

the kids probably going to kill himself one day.

seriously, the parents better homeschool this kid, although he may certainly end up more fucked up than he is now. Even if he does grow out of it, all this shit is on the internet, so this kid is most likely will go through school one Google search away from utter humiliation.
