I am angered by the ignorance in this CNN Article. It's all about it being OK for girls to be Tomboys, and just goes on and on. Yet, if a boy tends to be effeminate, many of us know there is hell to pay.
It is amazing that they had the cheek to publish this article.

Not Horrible
About halfway through the article it gives a nod to the boy meets girl (inside herself) problem.
CNN, FOX, MSNBC -- nearly all the news outlets make their money based on ratings. Ratings soar when you affirm your audience's beliefs.
Why else would a hack like Chuck Todd have a job? If you want to feel good about that hate you hide inside . . . Tucker's your guy. Most of what they say is opinion. Opinion is not, in itself, news.
I'm no fan of Trumpism, yet the "NEWS" sources make themselves ready targets.
Fifty years ago, I studied journalism and we shook our heads at the "yellow journalism" practiced then by the British press. Now what they did looks like Pulitzer Prize material compared to the average drivel served up by the awful liars and hatemongers who poison our national conscience.

That is so funny...
I just said to Randalynn not an hour ago that everybody hates Chuck Todd!! LOL! Especially on Twitter :)
Chuck Todd
"Chuck" is both a noun and a verb . . . if only.

Excerpt from article
"We've seen boys' worlds opened to girls, but girls' worlds haven't been opened to boys. That remains a tough thing for parents. If your boy likes a dress, if your boy wears pink, if your boy is sweet and kind and other-centered, why is that so threatening and scary?
We're still stuck in this thinking that says if we don't teach our kids how to be properly masculine or feminine, things are going to be hard for them. So, we wind up imposing gender roles on them. But the problem with dressing kids in ways that directly communicate their gender to the outside world affects how other people see and treat that child."
Doesn't sound like it's all that biased if this statement is included.

re: if your boy wears pink
that's a gender stereotype if ever there was one. Blame the Ad agencies for that. We have been conditioned to think that Pink is girly-girly.
I know plenty of real women who would not be seen dead wearing anything pink. Red? Certainly but never pink.
