I’m glad you mentioned this because as a person who has not had children, I could not validate her statement that ‘all little boys dress up in their Mom’s shoes’ at some time or other. It just does not seem true to me.
I have observed my nephews when they were little and they all gravitated to trucks, cars, building blocks, etc. Only rarely did they look at a doll and then it was more of a stuffed animal or Muppet character.
A small child will put on whatever shoes are lying around. My 3-year-old doesn’t care if the shoes are mine or a boy’s. Not being insane, I don’t say, “Ooh, she’s really a boy!” when I see her in a brother’s shoes. I say, “Come get your filthy shoes away from Kathleen - she’s making a mess on the sofa.”
I really believe the vast majority of people know this is wrong, being that woman encouraging her kid to be a homo. But as a society we have been conditioned to just look the other way.
As recent as 30 years ago such a situation would have been brought to the attention of a mental health professional by the mother, and certainly not celebrated by the mother or promoted by the media.
The nation as a whole is just sick in the head.
Your post made me chuckle.
When my son was little, he had several GI Joe, Spider-Man, Batman toys.
One day I told him to put away the “dolls” and get ready for bed.
The response: “Mom! They’re not dolls! They’re action figures!”
