Is it Cruel to Dress Your Son in Pink?

Topics: boys in pink
Will your son be psychologically damaged if you dress him in pink? Or should he have a baseball or cricket bat in his pram?

YES!! DON'T DO THAT! NEVER! LOL -
Real men wear pink.-
real babies?
-
@AG: The kind I'd call "baby" anyways.
-
-
Yes, it is cruel, very cruel! -
I think it's FABULOUS! -
I think he won't notice but other people will tell you that you have a very pretty baby-girl!-
but he'll hear it in his subconscious and be damaged forever...

I've never been called a moron before, and I'm not trolling... can we have another choice?
I was just testing a few questions to see what gets the biggest response -
@misterrepose
Why are you being rude to this long time member that many of us happen to like very much? I sense an under bridge dweller in this thread, and in the other threads where you have been rude to the same member, and I'm not digging your vibes. -
@AG: Don't take it personally, MR's a punk.

nooooo! i love it when guys wear pink! not a problem at all...-
Hi sweetie
-
-
Pink is the new blue for guys darlin! So says my 2 teenage boys ;-) -
WWDJD? What Would Don Johnson Do? Well, okay, maybe that's not a good indicator of how to dress.
I always try to keep a pink shirt in my closet, as it goes well with my black suit. -
no-
yes it is... and the baseball bat?
-
these are all gender based restrictions but determined by sex. Doesn't make sense to me. Let them do whatever they feel comfortable doing.
-
seconded! I hate the whole 'pink is for girls and blue is for boys' nonsense. -
Dollin: Do you have a son?
If my son thought that I had dressed him in pink as a child he would never speak to me again.
I know some people that are so opinionated about making sure it's ok for boys to wear pink, I often slip a line into a conversation like "Oh gosh, she's dressed her son in pink, what is wrong with that woman" ... and then I wait for the fireworks
Another good one to stir people up is to bring up Al Gore's past and to say the the whole green thing is a sham. -
that's pretty harsh if your son only thought that you dressed him in pink??... (that he would never speak to you again?)
-

You don't mention age but if you are dressing your son (in pink or anything else) and he is 20 years old, then YOU may be the one who is psychologically damaged.
-
don't give your kid a complex...NO PINK...pink is a wus color anyways...-
what about salmon...is that still wussy?
-
yes that's just as bad, that's hiding the pinkness but not really
-
-
well kinda,but if you have a good tan you can rock it
-
A dress is only as good as its wearer.. royals (like er, ahem) can wear anything and lend elegance to the dress -
cough...cou NOTT gh....Ahem..
-
A-SHOO
-
-
Not hot pink or too girly pink, but a reasonable icy pink is fine. Just no bows.
-
My answer is "no". For pity sake -- men wear whatever color they want to wear. I think parents who choose to dress their children in color coded and in little outfits that accentuate differences in gender when they are just babies and toddlers are weird.
-
Yeah, they're afraid their kids will "catch the gay" (or get things thrown at them).
-
oh no! you can catch the gay??? i better start carrying hand sanitizer around my music school...
-
Good one
-

It never did any harm to Ozzie the Ostrich! -
I have a son who loves wearing a pink dress.
He *is* only five, but it's making for some wonderful blackmail photos for his father and I. -
yeah if it teaches him to build confidence =) -
Dont unless you had the kid in paris hilton -
We see color differently on just an individual basis. -
That's not pink -- it's watermelon!
(Men can were all the same colors, if you give them a manly name, or if it's in a Hawaiian shirt.) -
It's a cultural thing, like long hair on men. There are periods in history when men dressed very garishly and flamboyantly. No one would've considered it weird at all.
