What's wrong with letting children wear what ever color they want, or play with whichever toys they like?
My nephew wore a superman cape EVERYWHERE for 6 months. He ate in it, slept in it, wore it to church, daycare, out shopping. Everywhere. My niece wore a batman costume for months. Both turned out to be wonderful adults. My nephew is a youth pastor with 2 beautiful children, and my niece is in college, and is a great violinist.
What is wrong is ANYONE taking it upon themselves to "teach a lesson" to a child that is not theirs. You put your hands on my child, you will be on the ground so fast your head will spin.
But of course this woman is perfectly fine with disparaging the guy for being a homophobe. She's righteously indignant that this man would judge her child because he was not adhering to his idea of what a little boy should be. But she's fine with judging the man for not adhering to her idea of what the proper attitude towards homosexuality should be.
Typical liberal.
Of course! She should have thanked the man for snatching the headband off her 2 year old son's head, smacking him on the head, calling him a little 'fa-ggot', and saying he will be shot.
That's just normal acceptable behavior for you is it?
I think he's saying that running a social experiment with your sons life is silly: He doesn't know any better. Using him to make a political statement indicates you care more about social issues than your own son.
That said, I don't think being a man means hitting other people's children and verbally belittling 2 year old strangers.
I'm fairly certain bullying those weaker than you is specifically against the man manifesto.
How is letting a 2 year old wear a pink headband a 'social experiment' and a 'political statement'?
If Jaymax was in the same line in Walmart....she would have had quite the fight on her hands. A bigot from both ends of the spectrum LOL
Once again, you show you have no clue what you are talking about. - Do you really know so little about human developmental stages?
If I had been in the same line, I would have stayed by the mother's side and got someone to get store security. I would have been happy to give a witness statement and would have encouraged her to report the incident to the police.

Seriously.
The article didn't mention if the little boy has older sisters or female cousins. My younger brother and I were 18 months apart so we shared a lot of the same toys , clothes, and friends - generally my toys, my clothes, and my friends. He played with dolls, had tea parties, wore pink and purple, dressed up in my old Halloween costumes, etc. Likewise - when it became "uncool" to play with my brother, I became a total tomboy playing in the mud and fishing for tadpoles with the pack of neighborhood boys. While I was doing that, my brother was stealing my Backstreet Boys CDs and occasionally playing with my costume makeup.
Flash forward 15 years and my brother is one of the few of the college class of 2012 to already be very successful - he and his fiance just bought their first home. He's 23 and she's 22 - do you know how rare that is today? And yes, he's straight. As am I - and I live in dresses and like to wear makeup despite what you might have thought looking at me when I was 6-12 years old.
Keep in mind that it's only a recent phenomenon to dress young boys and girls differently. Boys wore skirts and dresses until they were school aged up until the turn of the century. When my grandfather was born in 1932, all of his clothes were pink because pink was the color for baby boys. It wasn't until after WWII that the whole "blue is for boys, pink is for girls" meme came about. There is nothing intrinsically feminine or masculine about a color.
