They are just colors, however research has been done about colors and how they influence us. One thing that always comes out, girls are drawn to pink and boys to blue, before any social influences can sway our color preference. It's something that we are born with.
I to would like to know what research you are referring to. My daugher is 9 and doesn't like pink and was never drawn to pink actually.
I just don't want my son to grow up to be so ignorant as to think that any of this is a reflection on his future 'manhood.' Leave that neanderthal thinking to those same men who worry about the size of their members.
Just more proof that kids don't inherently have stupid prejudices...they are foisted upon them by ignorant, intolerant adults.
Was the research completed with only North American children? Western European kids? In many countries, children and parents don't have a choice of what color clothing in which to dress their children. They take what they can get. Preference, research, whatever it may be, I highly doubt it holds true across the board.
You just have to consider the source.. it is a Fox News article!
I don't think there's anything wrong with kids being interested in something outside the "norm". When I was that age my parents brought me to Disney World regularly.. the only two costumes I ever wanted were Aladdin and Simba.. so that's what they got me! I would have been a very unhappy camper if they had forced me to be a princess. And I grew up to be a straight woman who loves dresses
Gayness level?!! Is there some sort of meter that measures that?
Sure. It's just like the E-meter Scientologists use, only it's called a G... oh, never mind.
