I find this report to be interesting. A survey was conducted by Google, (and we know how biased and left Google is). Any how 27 percent of the responders in the survey suggest that Santa should be gender neutral or a female. Santa has been historically male, even a Mrs. Santa has been introduced over the past decade however Mrs. Santa has female gender roles and stereotypes which do not fit well with non binary thought processed humans. Majority of the respondents preferred a traditional male Santa..

Default Some people want gender neutral Santa. (war on Christmas) Totally bad idea!

Change, just for sake of change, is usually a bad idea. Christmas is a wonderful celebration of the birth of Christ. The term gender neutral, is an oxymoron

Santa, as we know of this mythical character, was developed by a large corporation. Let Coca Cola decide.

How is a war on Santa a war on Christmas? Was Santa crucified and I missed it?

What we need to do to solve the problem is to return to tradition and the days when the Yule Goat brought presents, which probably developed from the goat that pulled Thor's chariot. That would solve both ridiculous problems at once - the gender problem wiht the entity delivering presents, and the belief that religion is anything but a fairy tale.

I totally agree.

Lets dress good looking young women in short santa skirts and stockings and then have men sit on their knees.

The reality sadly, will most probably be some fat transgender SJW, who doesn't need a false beard.

Since Santa is a Fictional/Mythical Character I don't give a Rat's #$% what gender someone wants him/her to be.
And I worry a bit if you get too worked up and bothered by it either way - it is not real.
Just believe in your fiction and let other people believe in their's!

We teach our trusting and vulnerable children to believe in an obese stranger who travels the entire globe in a single night in a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer, breaking and entering their house in the middle of the night to leave toys, only to have them crushed and feeling betrayed when they realize we've lied to them knowingly and willfully for years. And what is more, we think that betrayal, and their naive belief, is cute.

I'll never forget the look on my daughter's face when she realized I had been lying to her. She asked me why I did and I had no answer for her.

If someone wants to start a new mythology to sell to their children as the absolute truth, what difference does it make? In the end, when they find out the truth, they will feel just as stupid and betrayed as they do with the old mythology.

And no, I'm not a Scrooge. I love just about every tradition that comes with the secular American Christmas. I just question lying to our children and then wondering why they don't trust us to tell them the truth when they get older.

This is going to melt the snowflakes who can’t handle people having a different opinion about their traditional view of something.
