My lib SIL worked to feminize her boys from birth.
She encouraged “girly’ things, got them tea sets and Fisher Price kitchens. She encourage them to be girls at every turn.
It’s nurture and not nature, my friend.
If it was nature than identical twins would always be of the same sexual persuasion.
You may be old enough to remember the feminists of the seventies who encouraged young boys and girls to play with toys of the other sex. They would always repeat that there were no behavioral differences between male and female behavior, it was all socialization. I wonder how many gullible “with it” mothers socialized their kids to be unisex. By the way the word unisex was actually used. It takes on a sinister cast when we look back on it but this was one of those slogans that were all over the media back them. Unisex began in the late sixties with designers (I think in London) designing the same fashions for men and women, even the hairstyles were the same.
Tell me somebody isn’t trying to play with our brains. It always happens in an avalanche of media publicity whether it was feminism, unisex, gayness or whatever. The way it happens always reminds me of a race—on your mark, get set, go! And everyone starts running at once. There is a suddeness and planning behind all of the liberal movements which are breatlessly promoted on the mass media.
Remember a web story last year concerning a mother who made a big internet fuss about her little five year old boy wanting to dress up as Daphne of the cartoon show Scooby Doo? The little boy loved the show, previous years he had gone as other characters of the show but that year he decided that he wanted to go as Daphne. The mother got him a Daphne costume, then the little boy had second thoughts. The mother insisted that he wear it. When the other mothers saw him dressed as Daphne, they rolled their eyes or made some other sign of their displeasure. The mother was mad at the other mothers then went on the internet with a huge story which had the bold face title “My five year old son is gay”. Then she put a picture of her son in the Daphne costume. She then told the whole story and admitted that her five year old is probably not gay but she would love him just as much if he were.
She took a small private incident and then blew it up into a national phenomenon, she even appeared on television. I think this mother has some issues and has made her little boy the brunt of unwanted national attention that will live with him for years. All this because she wanted her liberal bon fides.
