Thanks for doing that. I actually asked people if they wouldn't mind not buying all pink things for my daughter when she was a newborn. I don't mind pink per se, but I don't see why little girls have to have everything in that color.
I know a lot of people are going to disagree, but to me it feels like we're sticking them in some kind of box as soon as they come into the world. I'm not sure why we have to do that. Anyway, it makes me a bit uncomfortable.
As far as the pink toenails go, I know enough men who are not gay and wear toenail and or fingernail polish that it isn't really an issue for me.
Parents cannot control the gayness level of their child no matter what they do, including demanding they wear a tiara around the house. If your kid isn't gay, it ain't gonna happen.
There have been kids whose gender is uncertain when they're born, and the parents choose to raise them either one or the other. The kid's true wiring always seems to win out in the end, no matter what lengths the parent goes to to pick a gender. So I doubt that a little pink nail polish is going to have much influence over biology.
Gayness level?!! Is there some sort of meter that measures that?
yeah actually there is a gay meter which some people seem to have. My gay friends talk about it all the time when they are trying to determine if somebody is gay. Mine is very attuned too even tho I am straight. It's not dress or mannerisms. It's just something some people can seem to zero in on--sometimes before the gay person themselves will admit it.
In Europe they used to swaddle newborn boys in pink and girls in blue....it's just a color ..THAT'S ALL!!!
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.
With infants, gender identification is difficult, it helps to dress boys in blue and girls in pink.
Who cares if a wacky mom wants to paint her sons nails pink. Although her son probably will, once his classmates find out.

Well, I've flunked that since I was old enough to know the difference.

It's called Gaydar.
Oh believe me I know gaydar -I worked in musical theatre for 7 years!
Oh noes, and when the first drop of "Sun-Kissed Rose" was brushed on his toe-nail, he was from that moment on gay! Stupid gits!
Anywho, on a serious note, has anyone seen the French movie "Ma Vie En Rose"? It's one of my all-time favorite movies.
