It's unbelievable that we're even considering this as an option for children.
Why can't parents raise their children as they are supposed to be raised. Why are children given so much freedom to dictate to their parents how they will dress?
If my son wanted to dress up like superman and go to school there's no way that would happen, but a dress? Give me a break.
At 4 years old, there's no way I'd allow my son to make those decisions on his own.
There's an image of a boy in a green dress that goes with the article linked. That kid is probably older than 7 years old, I can't believe the world of hurt his parents are setting him up for. Why don't adults just put their foot down and impart discipline and be a parent.
It sounds like the Cheech and Chong song "Earache My Eye"-
Daddy he disowned me 'Cause
I wear my sisters clothes.
He, caught me in the bathroom With
a pair of pantyhose.
The basketball coach Done
kicked me off the team.
For wearing hi-heel sneakers And
acting like a queen.......................
Hey- if the kid has confidence and is tough enough to beat up a few guys who object to his fashion views, then let him do it. Ever heard of "A Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash? I think it is hilarious.
A college room mate and I (both decent highschool wrestlers) dressed in women's clothes and went to a biker bar, expecting a good fight (we were both not only wrestlers, but were lower income and used to unconventional fighting). The bikers were cool as hell and laughed their asses off- they bought us beer and played pool with us all night. We felt embarrassed later, not because we were walking home in women's clothes, but more so as we had prejudged and misjudged a group of guys who turned out to be pretty decent and did not even consider giving a couple of a*s holes a beating we probably deserved.
I have no recollection of any depiction of a man known as Jesus wearing pants.
The Romans considered pants to be barbarian.
After the French Revolution, men ceased wearing high heels, silk stocking and wigs.
Up till the early 70's it was illegal for women to wear pants in public in some municipalities.
Yup. Fashion is specific to the times and places. For ex., we don't go to work nude in the U.S. (and might be arrested if we tried), yet the Kamayura in the Amazon do their work totally nude most of the time, and God hasn't struck them dead yet.
But we live among people and have to fit in, in order to have a peaceful coexistence. If someone in a suit tried to incorporate himself into the Kamayura, he wouldn't be seen as one of "them."
If he were older, as in his late teenage years in high school I wouldn't care. That's his decision, you can dress however you want to even if I disagree with it. But at 4 years old? The kid has no idea what he's doing, the parents should be investigated for child abuse, he is a boy NOT a girl! I thought I was spiderman as a kid, my parents didn't allow me to go to school dressed in a spiderman costume. They didn't entertain such lunacy.
