Boys Should Be Allowed to Play with Dolls

"You sent me articles about kids trying to kill other kids. You do realize that's just human nature right? Yes, it's sad that they are kids but sometimes, there are things out of our control. Maybe those kids were sick in the brain.You are trying to say that only boys are capable of violence? [1]" Yes it's its in our human nature to be violent, but how does this disprove my original assertion? It doesn't matter WHY people, specifically kids, are capable of cruelty, it only matters that some of them enjoy other people's suffering, and for what ever reason exist. And would gleefully pick on a boy who play's with dolls, as they are a easy target. "You are trying to say that only boys are capable of violence? [1] " This statement deserves its own explanation! Am i trying to say only boys can be violent? No, What I'm am saying is that CHILDREN are capable of cruelty, I'm not saying that they all want to shoot up their school, rather that like adults there are good kids, and there are bad kids, and a boy playing with dolls will be a easy target for the bad ones so maybe, they should play with something else, because dolls aren't the only toys they can enjoy. So ironically, the sources that you provided actually prove my point, as they show's that kids regardless of gender can be violent and vindictive. "Again, you make it seem like every single boy is the same. You can't lump them all together. There are a lot of men who'd rather stay at home and do the cooking then work. You have to be more open minded about this because everyone is different. Did you forget that there are male models, fashion designers and even males who make dolls? [2]" I'm not lumping them all together notice how i said "nearly" not all, but NEARLY all boys don't play with dolls. Your saying that not all men are the same, and some like to be male models, fashion designers, some even like to make dolls. OK that's great, but the professions you listed are not really confined to one gender or the other, there have been male models since the Greek Empire[1], who do you think posed for all the status and monuments they made? What we today call Fashion designers, have also been around basically forever, they were more commonly referred to as Tailors. Much of are cloths were designed by them. This was considered to be a common male and female profession[2]. Same with toy designers[3], and there are thousands of chefs in the world, in fact most of them are men[4]. So yeah, not all boys are the same not every boy will grow up to be lumber Jacks or Football coaches. But very few will like to wear make up or high heels, or watch sex in the city, some will...but MOST will not. Sort of like how most boys won't like playing with dolls, but some, a small percent will. Sort of common sense if you think about it. "Sally just wants a gay friend? Really? Do you have any idea how stupid that sounds? Most children don't even have a concept of gay when they're young. But if they do, I doubt that would be a big role in choosing to play with a boy who is playing with a doll. It's more like, "Hey, you're playing with something I like." When I was a kid, I was into Pokemon and so were most of the boys. Therefore, I hung out with the boys. It's that simple." That last one was a joke, maybe in poor taste but shesse! Calling my argument "stupid", that's not nice! I wonder if bullies will call Billy stupid for playing with dolls? "There is also this. I have a nephew. He is three. I collect dolls and he comes down to my room to play with them. He'll brush their hair and make them fight. He doesn't realize they are girls just yet. He just wants to play. That's all." Wait, how old is you nephew? Three? I think Pro is confusing the word boy with baby, I have many cousins and let me tell you at that age they'll love to play with anything, from measuring cups to vacuum parts, so i could see him playing with dolls. But one of my older cousins who is in the 4th grade, begs me every time i see him to play some FPS, or shoot my BB gun. Are you telling me that he would want to play with dolls? I really think he, and most every other boy would chose the FPS or the BB gun over a doll, and would most likely bypass the doll entirely, and laugh at you, or think you were joking if you said" hey lets play tea cups with Barby!". I'll post new augments next round, i suggest you do the same as you haven't really shown the benefits, that arise when boys play with dolls. [1] http://www.ancientgreece.com...
