20 years from now, if society hasn't completely eaten itself, we are going to look back and wonder what flavor of bath salts people were smoking...

I'm all for ignoring gender roles and gendered colors, but it is a disservice to not teach children that there is in fact biological genders that are recognized worldwide. I can't imagine a 5 year old getting into school and not understanding boys and girls.

Good luck hiding your penis from your "it" child, fathers. Why doesn't mommy have a penis? Well son, daddy's "it" is different than mommy's "it".

I am sooooooooo glad i dont have kids, and for sooooooo many reasons.

 

[Jim85IROC]

Having kids is actually fairly easy if you don't fall for all of this politically correct bullshit.

My girl wears pink, my boy wears camouflage, and neither of them is the least bit concerned about what gender they are.

If my girl wants to hunt and my boy wants to take dance classes, that's fine too. I don't care what activities each chooses to enjoy, but neither will be confused about their biological gender.

I'm just done with today, and glad my kids are grown.

Check, please...

 

[CREEPERBOB]

It ain't the kids, its their retarded parents. :twisted:

 

[wings_of_fire]

I feel glad, I am not an American citizen.

Less feminism
Less rainbow
Less political correctness
Less regulation
Less inflation

Peace of mind.

I like how all my little sisters kids respect their uncle more than anyone else, at least according to their mother.


Dont get me wrong kids are nice and cool, at least when they are out of the diaper stage and you become able to reason and communicate with them.


Same goes for dogs.


BUT ! i have never felt that i have been in a place where i was able to do the right thing with either creature, cuz you know i have always been pretty " me - me - me " and really you cant do that with kids or a dog ( a dog which i pretty much look at the same as a child )
And i see no reason to embark on something i am not able to do a good job with,,,, i can do that with little things like a job ASO, at least for a little while.
Also in regard to a child, well i have never been rich enough to get one, the the public funding we Danes do have for that i find BS and a insult to my intellect so not money i would ever consider taking.
Also school, if i had a child it would have to go to a private school cuz i would not take a chance of the child having the same nightmare experience with public school i had.


To be honest my school time are probably why i am so apprehensive about other people, and also why i have so little trust in my own abilities even though since then i have done nothing but prove myself wrong in that regard, cuz i really can do everything i set my mind to.

I give my two children the freedom to develop their own likes, dislikes, interests, etc, my wife and I raise them to our standards of morals, guidance, etc, they both decided to be all out boys on their own. I don't have penis length issues or feel the need to feminize myself either, people worry too much about stupid crap.

This new gender neutral crap is stupid, it's trying way to hard to not influence something and control it by completing controlling and influencing it. Gender is science, it's real, it happens, some girls like pink stuff and dolls, others like blue stuff and dirt bikes, why worry over it.

 

[JohnRobHolmes]

We have completely held back from encouraging gendered colors on our kids, it's actually pretty tough because of the typical clothes and toys that gets pushed by media and family. We don't have cable and don't watch TV except for getting netflix on the weekends, so sources of influence on our kids are easy to keep track of. Guess what, my daughter loves pink and purple at 2 years old. My son went through a purple phase, but seems to be leaning to blue and green now.

Of course we have a new kid in preschool that has been spouting all sorts of shit to him. Teaching him cuss words, songs that a 5 year old shouldn't be familiar with, pushing gendered roles, colors, haircuts, and of course spouting volumes of sheer nonsense about the world. Last night when he came home flipping the bird and doing some other "china" nonsense with his hands, I had to tell him that his new friend is a lying shitbag that shouldn't be trusted for information. That is a pretty tough subject to get across to a 5 year old without using cuss words, lol!

 

[tuanies]

Is this the millennial parents' participation trophy? This seems silly. I'm all for not having defined gender roles - I have two girls, they play with barbies, Hot Wheels, dolls and video games. But this is going a bit overboard...

 

[JatoTheRipper]

This is what happens when the untreated mentally ill have children.

Biologically there are two genders. Two. Any way you want to spin it there are only two genders. Anything else is a freak of nature and a defect.

 

[Frank211]

Boys have a penis
Girls have a vagina
(kindergarten cop)
Pretty simple math to me !

 

[smog]

This whole thing seems rather laughable to me, my kids game and watch youtube. There isnt anything to be hidden from them. Theybie knowin more names for body parts than I will ever know.

 

[high plains drifter]

This absurdity isn't going to gain any traction in any actual recognized context. These nut-jobs will always create these kinds of "necessary" concepts because they are desperate for some kind of recognition, reaction, applause, etc. So little Mary-Joe has a penina and little Johnny-Beth has a venis... big deal! Sorry, but no respectable human being is going to take you seriously if you keep whining about utter nonsense lol.

Is this going to be covered in the next Youtube video?

Holmes Hobbies: Your source for power, parenting advise, and calling 5 year olds shitbags! :lmao:

Back in the 50s there was a psychologist named Bruno Bettelheim who came up with the theory that autism was a result of neglectful parents, particularly neglectful/abusive mothers. This nutty theory caught traction causing hundreds of autistic children to be removed from their homes and families. Almost 15 years later they figured out that his theory was 100% "utter nonsense" , but the damage was already done.

The idiocity of people having more than two genders isn't just a passing liberal fad, the idea has gained enough traction that it is being passed into law in a few areas (and not just in California). Bury your head in the sand if you wish, you'll be a position the liberals want you in.

Genetic disorders not withstanding, there are boys, and there are girls, identifying as anything else is just a mental disorder.

 

[Highmark]

This is how the world works now.

/rant on

There's a small number of people out there who see their selves as being more feminine or more male than their sex implies. Sometimes terrible douche bag parents take offense to that and try to force those kids into whatever mold they think fits their kid which invariably ****s the kid up and either gives them horrible identity issues or anxiety for the rest of their life. The solution is to just let kids be themselves, whether that means Amanda want's to be a diesel mechanic or Toni want's to wear dresses and be a fashion designer. It's no different than me growing up as a nerd, when my Dad was the cool guy in high school, he didn't always like my hobbies or interests growing up but he showed support and that gave me confidence to be my own person. Who the **** am I, or you, or anyone else to project what I we think you should be on someone? Why does it matter if someone else decides they see themselves differently?

As a reaction, the hippy dippy bullshit machine with a dose of far right exaggeration takes the novel concept of letting people figure their own shit out and mutilates it into whatever this trash is, while simultaneously politicizing it in order to induce another news story people can bitch about on the internet rather than focusing on getting our shit bag of a government to focus on real issues like the 40 thousand kids our country has in an underfunded, completely shit foster 'care' system, or the staggering amount of people who are ODing on opioids every day.

Same difference with the stupid ass 'colleges have cry rooms now' thing. People are so keen to bitch about stupid shit when real problems are ignored and fall by the wayside.

I'm not suggesting in the least that this isn't damaging. It absolutely is. But to entertain the idea that this is a legitimately valid issue to be up in arms about, well jmo... it's not. We... as individuals, don't retain the means to fight this anyway... so yes, I choose to ignore it. Certainly at the Federal level... many idiotic laws, restrictions, entitlements, etc have occurred for as many years as I've been alive. But at least in the infancy of idea's like the one presented here... it's not something that I will even begin to recognize. It's typical liberal/ millennial BS that just doesn't warrant my time. You better believe I've got my head buried in the sand these days. This world is getting harder and harder to digest lol.

Much respect to you, GreatScott. I do understand what you're saying and we are obviously both on the same side of the fence. Just that I have to take a hard pass on this one. God help our young ones, though. I feel for the future that normal parents [trying to raise normal children], are facing.

Amen to that!

When I was retiring from the military I was looking for jobs in my home state, California. I decided to look elsewhere when they passed a law that stated that in public schools, if on a particular day, little Timmy felt like he was actually little Sally, that he/she could utilize the female restrooms/shower rooms. Now, if I had a daughter in that particular school, and she came home and told me that little Timmy came in to shower in the girl's locker room because he felt like little Sally, I and Timmy's father would have had a very unpleasant chat...
