[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, shower curtains, towels, bath mats, and toothbrushes come in a variety of colors.  I suppose you could force your DD to only have those items in a neutral color.  Stepson will still open the drawers/cabinets and see soaps, lotions, bath beads, etc.  I suppose you could only allow DD to buy those items in gender neutral colors, but that would be a bit harder.  My panty liners come in a purple box, my pads come in a green and pink package and the pads are individually wrapped in pink wrappers, and my tampons come in a pink and purple box.  She could keep those items in her room, I guess.[/quote]

I don't understand your point here.  Having lotion or a purple box of panty liners makes it a girls bathroom?  The bathroom needs to be beige in order for it to be a comfortable and functional place for male and female users?[/quote]

PP feels that the boy will be threatened if his sister has a pink toothbrush.  At the same time, she feels that the girl obviously is the one who would decorate the space and that asking her to agree with her brother on a shower curtain, or use towels her mother already has is “being forced” and presumably traumatic.

The sexism is mind boggling.[/quote]
