Over in thequestion club,

[info]http://community.livejournal.com/thequestionclub/16729436.html?thread=304957532#t304989276 for members). Post below for non members!) this is a hypothetical.. Say you have a 10 year son, who's mature for his age, gets good grades, is involved in after school activities, does his chores, and for the gist of it is what people would call a "good kid". One day he tells you that he wants to start wearing skirts and other girls clothing to school, that thats what he feels comfortable in and understands he's going to get teased. What would you do, let him do what he wants? bring him to therapy? forbid him from it? something else? what are the reasons behind your choice? edit/ 2nd q, if you would support his decision, would you fight the school if they said it was against their dresscode? this would be in a non-uniform situation All is fine and well until redlightlove responds with this: (I don't know how to do screencaps, so I'll cut and paste. D: )

No. Because he is a BOY, and boys don't wear skirts unless they are fairies. No boy of mine would be a fairy. [info]rykani responds with an amusing picture. To which more snark about the guy in a kilt looks like a fairy.

So when [info]emilythemanic responds with this Ooooo.............kay.


Based on karma and irony, I'm dying to see what yr son will be like.

<a href="http://community.livejournal.com/thequestionclub/16729436.html?thread=304977244#t304977244" ">Only girls wear skirts!oneoneeleventyone!</a>

The commenter of course snarks back with:

GOSH GUYS I WAS ONLY KIDDING

I really don't care what my son wears
He can go buck ass naked with a feather taped to his nipple for all I care

PS HOW HARD IS IT TO TYPE YOUR OH MY TWO MORE LETTERS CANT DO IT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

PPS How do you know I am having a son/kids at all Miss Smarty Pants?

(I know, not all there... I suck at screen caps, k? D: )

[Bad username in LJ tag] isn't being particularly stupid IMO, but that's because I assumed they were just kidding to wind people up in the first place.

I'm more amused by [info]renewedme's comment here:
http://community.livejournal.com/thequestionclub/16729436.html?thread=304996956#t304996956

I think it would be a good idea to catch this in the beginning. I do think it's important to keep communication open and to find the "root" of the problem if there is one.

Uh, since she identified the problem as being that he'd get the crap beaten out of him, I think it's pretty obvious that the root cause is general intolerance, sexism, and homophobia!

I find it stupid that she considers wanting to be in a skirt as the kid being gay, and not something else.

Yeah, I found those comments a lot... weirder.

She's saying she'd like to have a son who doesn't get up. I'd like to ask her, hypothetically of course, if everyone at her son's school did drugs and the ones who didn't were beaten up and called names for it, would she encourage her son to do drugs? Just so he wouldn't be beaten up?

Personally I'd much rather have a stable kid who was happy with his identity and willing to stand up for what he believes is right. It seems [info]renewedme just doesn't want her son beaten up, which is understandable, nobody wants that. But the problem lies in the people who are doing the beating, not the kid who's just wearing a skirt.

I'd rather have a kid that got along with other kids and didn't get beaten up than a kid that gets beaten up. I see nothing wrong with our society's attitudes toward gender at all.

is by far the most distressing comment I saw in reply to that TQC post.

It just seems strange that a little girl can wear trousers, climb trees, get dirty and they are a 'tomboy,' no real negative connotations. A little boy acts more girlish, wants to wear dresses, or skirts.. and they are a sissy, full of negative connotations.

It's just one of the few times where it's actually more positive for the females, this just kind of struck me.

More positive for the females in one sense, yes. But then look at what the fact that being at all "girlish" has so many negative connotations says about what people think of women. Aspiring to be "mannish" may have become more acceptible for girls, but wanting to be "girlish" is still the worst thing imaginable, because girls are just pathetic.
