Should childhood really be gender neutral?
I hadn't realised but there is also a feminist campaign in the U.S. against distinct toys for boys and girls (at the moment they are targeting LEGO). At the Fox news site they did a survey in response to this campaign to gauge public opinion. Here are the results:
As you can see, the response is overwhelmingly on our side. 94% think it's OK to have toys that foster a distinct sex identity. Only 3% are against, with the rest in the undecided/other category. Nor are the numbers small: almost 30,000 cast a vote. Admittedly the numbers might be a bit different at a more lefty news site, but even so you can see that the campaign to make childhood gender neutral isn't a popular movement - it's being carried out by activists without public support.

Liberals truly don't care and this is their aim. To get them while they are young and to create a string of gender identity disorders before they reach adulthood. Clearly, this is the destruction of childhood on par with the hypersexualization of children. It's highly perverse but it's a genius tactic.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth,
ReplyDeleteI just wonder if they'll succeed. If there is one parental instinct that is still going strong it's the desire to see normal sex characteristics in your young children.
