" A Facebook community for these parents currently claims about 220 members across the U.S."

Posted by Reagen Jul 19 '18, 10:57

my god, this trend will over-run us all!
(FWIW I know a lesbian couple that tried this, then eventually abandoned it, then forgot about it entirely with their second child)

Catching up, what about their *name*? (No, "Pat" does not count). -- nm* - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 19, 11:16 2

I'm with groiny. It is not what I would call common across my daughter's entire class in school but among her friends it is the majority of them -- nm - oblique Jul 19, 11:13
Is anyone saying this trend will over-run us all? - Strongbad Jul 19, 11:03

- Maybe I should start posting from InfoWars. -- nm - Roger More Jul 19, 11:02 7
  - Man, I didn't realize NBC News' credibility was that bad around here. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 19, 11:04 6
    - Hey, I'm just trying to post what conservatives think. For discussion. -- nm - Roger More Jul 19, 11:16 5
      - I'd just like us all to try to be less assholic to one another. Every time we're petty, Trump's hate-based policies win. -- nm - David Jul 19, 11:20 2
        
        Yeah! Time Out! Lets all sing some ABBA together! -- nm - crash davis Jul 19, 11:21 1
        
        I specifically asked you to be *less* assholic, Crash! -- nm - David Jul 19, 11:23
      - It really shouldn't need to be pointed out, again, but there's a big difference between NBC and InfoWars. -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 19, 11:18 1
        
        I'm not comparing NBC and Infowars. I'm saying "maybe I should post a story about a small group with a controversial view and see what happens" -- nm - Roger More Jul 19, 11:27
I feel like I missed a step. -- nm - David Jul 19, 10:58 17
- the gender neutral discussion on B2. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 10:59 16
  - Oh. So, your lesbian friends tried to be gender neutral but kept getting pregnant? -- nm - David Jul 19, 10:59 15
    - IIRC they gave up on the idea before getting pregnant the second time. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 11:00 13
      - What were the mechanics of it? How does one even go about trying it? -- nm - David Jul 19, 11:01 12
        
        no "gendered" colours, no pronouns - I think it became basically impossible once she hit pre-school age. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 11:04 11
        
        I assume to properly pull this off, one must be home-schooled. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jul 19, 11:13 1
        
        In the article SB posted, one set of parents said they believe their children will have identified with being a boy or a girl by then - Roger More Jul 19, 11:22
        
        friends of mine were *determined* to keep the Disney Princesses away from their daughter till she hit kindergarden. She went to a friends house for - Andie Jul 19, 11:07 8
        
        It's insane. I've watched my kid on that with an eye towards how she played with them. She loves them but associates none of the "negatives". - Name Withheld by Request Jul 19, 11:13
        
        This is a touchy subject in some Disney communities, and I don't understand it. They're all wonderful role models. -- nm - David Jul 19, 11:10 6
        
        I don't think they all are. Later ones for sure but I can see how someone would have issues with say Snow White and Aurora. - JD Jul 19, 11:21
        
        Not so much now, but allll the traditional ones got rescued by men and basically marry off as teenagers to some guy who just shows up. -- nm - Andie Jul 19, 11:20 3
        
        I realize that, but it hasn't been true since the 1950s. Since The Little Mermaid, all Disney Princesses are big damn heroes. - David Jul 19, 11:23 2
        
        can't discuss this without this of course -- (link) - oblique Jul 19, 11:26 [youtube]
        
        i think they just wanted to keep that from her for a bit. the girly-girl dresses, the fact that the lead character they identify with having a - Andie Jul 19, 11:24
        
        Princess Leia kicks ass. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 19, 11:11
    - (This was actually a sincere question. I realize that it's sometimes hard to tell with me.) -- nm - David Jul 19, 11:00
