little boys
I think that it's true about how people would judge their son about liking princesses. Boys don't have to like all boy toys except if he was that obsessed with pink and girlie items it would make me nervous as a parent. i think his dad is a major role model to him. His dad is a stay at home dad which means he does the laundry, cooks, and cleans, and his son thinks that's how he should act. I think its important that little kids follow the social roles, meaning they do boy things by play with trucks and girl things by playing with princesses. Those roles are judged by little kids and parents. Even the older brother made fun of his little brother in public.

You bring an interesting viewpoint to the table....although we as a society may want our kids to be free to be themselves and do what they want, we also don't want them to face ridicule either, so maybe sticking to traditional gender roles is the way to go. Or should we as a society shift what our gender roles are to make them less rigid?
