Gender-neutral toys, the Barbie conversion kit from Ken to Kendra...
The minister wants to make the toys gender-neutral. Success. Suddenly I saw a new Barbie set in front of me. The plastic surgery set where you can operate on Ken and have him transformed into Kendra with all sorts of removable body parts.
Fun for little ones.
Gender-neutral toys and gender-neutral parenting
Anyway, no kidding, because the truth is separate enough. "Gender-neutral parenting is important," said one mother. Well mother, you can't say that, of course, because that's stereotypical. A human being I mean.
It's interesting, though, gender-neutral parenting, because how are you going to do it? Are you going to avoid telling girls that they look beautiful? Because otherwise you're teaching them that girls should be beautiful.
Will you avoid telling little boys that they are tough and have muscles? Must be, because otherwise you are teaching them that men should be strong.
How's gym going? My son who found it laughable. A gender-neutral changing room. 'Nice with adolescents...,' he thought.
In addition, those kids are doing their parents. Not even after them, they do them, so what should you do as a mother? Be gender neutral. And as a father, too. But yes what is that? How should you behave then?
Success I thought...
We have too few problems. A good sign, but your brain then starts making up all sorts of things. I can't imagine the slum kids in India worrying about gender-neutral toys. Whether that is good for their children's development.
They are happy when they have food to eat.
My son who used to want a pink bathrobe. Fine, he gets a pink bathrobe. Is that so difficult? My other son used to play with dolls a lot.
Ugh...
And the other? Who disassembled those same dolls and turned them into very distinct things....
Tja.
We will evolve into an androgynous being I guess. Fine, but first then I'm going to let out some primal cries in the crossfit box with my shirt off 😎
