[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The amount of internalized misogyny and acceptance of machoism on this thread is disappointing, yet predictable.  Putting a baby in clothing of any type, color, or ruffle volume will not harm them, confuse them, or other otherwise effect them.  The projection of gender stereotypes that are know to be harmful throughout life, on the other hand, will harm both your child and those around them.[/quote]

It's "affect," smarty-pants, not "effect."

I guess this is what your meaningless degree in Women's Gender Studies taught you.[/quote]

You're really pretty angry. What do you have against women's gender studies? [/quote]

DP. Not me. Billions of years of life on planet Earth are against WGS. Plus, it didn't teach you English.[/quote]

Not the PP but...
One of those interesting things I learned from gender studies was the gender performance is often dictated more by culture and society.

And on an unrelated note pink used to be a Boy Color and blue was a boy color. In the Victorian era boys wore dresses until they were 3. There are innate aspects of gender but it is not as dyed in wool as many conservatives would believe[/quote]

Shhh ... don't tell the crazies on this thread that! It'll shatter their perfect world. [/quote]
