Princess Boys

This was my picture of the day, March 6, 2009.

Radical progressive RepRacist3 just about
had a heart attack, and Jay Mendes, pictured at right, commented at the post.

I'm reminded of all of this after seeing Cassy Fiano's post, "Would You Let Your Son Be a Princess Boy?"

Just read it at the link above. I love Cassy's writing. She's completely unbothered by the strictures of PC totalitarianism. She's right to stress the potentially damaging effects on a child's health and social well-being from encouraging an opposite gender orientation as young as age 2. When one is older perhaps they'll have the maturity to adapt to society's prejudices. While it's certainly fine to say "to each his own" for adult individuals, there remains the responsibility for parents to set their kids on the appropriate normative (and moral) course for their lives ahead.
