Katie Marcum is one mom who won’t tolerate letting other people tell her or her son that they are doing things wrong. She believes in letting a child express their freedom and choices– and that includes wearing pink, playing with dolls, or having nail polish on their toes. She agrees wholeheartedly with what she overheard one mom say to a man who was trying to ridicule her: The color of a child’s fingernails doesn’t affect in anyway his/her genitals. Albeit a crude way of saying that a small thing like nail polish won’t affect a boy wearing them or decrease the boy’s manhood, it drives the point across. And when it comes to colors, she doesn’t think it’s right that some are designated for girls only and that other colors are for boys (i.e. pink and purple are said to be “girl colors” while blue and red are “for boys”) because colors don’t have the ability to hold any particular gender. And lastly, boys can play with dolls because children (especially young boys) who interact with baby dolls delicately allow parents to see how they are being taught at an early age to act properly and with sensitivity and to envision a future where the child becomes a nurturing and caring dad to his future children. Click here to read the full blog post…
