I made my football team lose a game cause I was so terrible at it, but I wasn't allowed to quit cause, "football is for real men".
Seriously, if your kid single handily costs the football team a victory, it's...

Yeah well you're lucky, some of us were forced to play sports and that.
Even though I sucked at football and I'm good at baseball, they wouldn't hear for me not wanting to play football. Was forced to have...

I agree with that; I'd have to say the reason why we are even hearing about this is it makes us question our ideas of gender and to society to even question it is taboo.

IMO, I think letting children act how they want within when it comes to gender roles is better for the child.
For example like how your situation growing up has helped with your self confidence, while on the...

And what is wrong with someone not fitting into what society deems as "normal"?
To use a analogy, by your logic gays should just act straight cause they don't "fit into the rest of society".
Re: Parents try to raise kid contrary to gender roles, media flips their shit in frea
For once I agree, I keep seeing the argument, "let the kid chose when he grows up", but in reality that is exactly what they are doing.
If a child is bought dolls, dresses and that and is taught to act like a...

Some doctors have been known to require as little as three therapist visits.
Re: Parents try to raise kid contrary to gender roles, media flips their shit in frea
Some doctors and therapists don't care, also there is another model for treating gender identity disorder that if you know about can give a shortcut, so it really depends on who is the person.
Some doctors...

How did we end up on cut vs. uncut?
Also I gotta ask how would letting a child chose what gender they want to grow up to be end up messing up a kid? Gender is a societal construct.

Gender roles -> Society depicts men as going to work while the woman stays in the kitchen -> Guy accidentally knocks up his girlfriend in college -> guy ends up doing what society depicts as ideal familly.
Re: Parents try to raise kid contrary to gender roles, media flips their shit in frea
tl;dr: some guys idea of "family" is the 1950's post-WWII nuclear family in which the woman stays at home and the guy earns the money.
Re: Parents try to raise kid contrary to gender roles, media flips their shit in frea
Unfortunately alot of women find themselves knocked up and barefoot in the kitchen.
A woman I knew who was getting a medical degree had this happen to her and within the month of the child's birth found...

Speaking of which America needs far more engineer than we currently have and the gender stereotypes don't help. In fact the joke in engineering is what few women in the field are hunted to extinction.
If I...

Back on topic, it will be interesting to see how the kid turns out when Storm grows up and whether or not all the soothsayers will be right or will it just be a bunch of malarkey.
I vote hogwash.
