I did not know that J. Crew — a company not widely known for its progressive, gender-bending aesthetic — was now adding to the scourge of gender confusion affecting our broken, pansexual youth. But they are! Fox News contributor Dr. Keith Ablow makes that abundantly clear in his well-researched article, "J. Crew Plants the Seeds for Gender Identity." How, exactly, have they planted the seeds for gender identity? They have depicted a mother painting her young son's toenails hot pink with the caption, "Lucky for me, I ended up with a boy whose favorite color is pink."

Clearly, if your male child's favorite color is pink, an objectively feminine hue, you should react not by supporting his preferences, but by shaming him. If you don't, the result will be the "psychological sterilization" of an entire generation of men and women who subsequently morph into one androgynous gender. The problem with this, as Dr. Ablow sees it, is that with no one occupying their traditional gender roles (a very real and present danger) our society will come crashing down.

Now, there is no one applying the "brakes" to early sexual experimentation — a traditionally female role — because girls no longer feel sufficiently ashamed of their sexual desires. The answer is not to educate young men and women about their sexuality and the possible consequences of sexual experimentation, but to stop letting that little boy wear a sundress, you fucking liberal idiot.

Evidence has shown that, much in the same way that Halloween is responsible for the creation of Somali pirates, allowing your young boy to wear a dress will result in him transitioning into a female later in life.

And why the value laden term "accuse"? Why not "Fox news CREDITS J Crew - etc"?
Well of course I know the answer, but it's nice to know another corporate player is helping corrupt our youth.
Maybe Fox thinks the government should get involved - if we outlaw pink nail polish on boys, we won't get any more gay men.

It's infuriating that people think this way. I don't know how many millions of times I've heard mothers making fun of their own young sons for wanting to do something like, say, sewing, only to turn around and bitch at their husbands for not "helping around the house."

I have a cousin who was furious at the cost of baby-toddler clothes, so he decided to make his two daughters' clothes for years. When he couldn't get a halloween/school-play costume done before leaving for a business trip, he told his daughter that mommy could finish it for her. His daughter was stunned and asked "girls can sew?"

100 years ago it was mostly men who sewed for a living, they were called Tailors. When men went off to war women took up the job and never gave it back.

See now we've gotten to the real issue. Who cares about nail polish... why won't women give us our sewing machines back?

Aside from the really obvious reaction of just "Wow, dumb," I have to wonder, is Fox really that starved for targets that they have to go after J. Crew? Did they decide that American Apparel was too easy of a target? Or that Abercrombie's padded bikini for eight-year-olds was okay, because it reinforces traditional gender roles?

Holy cow, I can't believe a psychiatrist would state something like this publicly, - sad. I just re-posted a post (https://www.lovesexfamily.com/p/featured-reads.html#NotJustAGirlThing) about the J.Crew campaign on my site, finding it really intriguing in its potential to burst claustrophobic gender categories. Thank you for addressing this! Now, how do we respond to this (uh-huh) psychiatrist?

Ok, so the whole thing is pretty ridiculous, although I did like this part "I wonder what Jenna would think if her son wanted to celebrate his masculinity with a little playacting as a cowboy, with a gun? Would that bring the same smile of joy and pure love that we see on her face in the J. Crew advertisement? Or would that be where she might draw the line?" I have a couple friends that won't let their kids play with "violent" toys but would be the first to get all pissy if someone wouldn't let their son wear a dress.
