Gender Boxes

When kids are growing up, they have certain toys they play with and usually boys play with masculine toys such as cars, trains, and action figures and girls usually play with girly toys such as barbies, dolls, and makeup. When she showed us the video of the little boy who loved to wear dresses and the adult who was "making fun" of the little boy, it made me pretty mad because who is he to tell the mom what she should dress her son in? Kids are taught to express themselves and then they do and they get made fun of. If i were a parent and my son wanted to dress up in a dress i would let him, but to a certain extent. If he asked me to wear a dress everyday i w9ould say no, but every once in awhile, that's acceptable.  I think its acceptable for kids to explore the other genders toys but there is a certain age where the kids should be aware of their decisions.
