We read:
"For those who have not already seen it, the ad features Jenna Lyons, a designer for the preppy clothing company posing with her 5-year-old son Beckett. I almost missed it the first time, but if you look carefully you can see that Beckett's toenails are painted pink. Underneath the photo reads the caption, "Lucky for me, I ended up with a boy whose favorite color is pink. Toenail painting is way more fun in neon."
The image has outraged some social conservatives who claim that this kind of behavior torments children and confuses them about their sexual identity. Erica Brown, a writer for the conservative Media Research Center Network, wrote that the ads such as J. Crew "features blatant propaganda celebrating transgendered children."

I think it's just propaganda too. I can't imagine a little boy painting his toenails pink. Little boys are the ultimate "sexists": They despise girls or anything girly.
The writer excerpted above is a psychologist who goes on to imply that it is perfectly normal for boys to play with dolls and girls to play with toy trucks (etc.). He must have stranger kids than any I have ever met. More likely he has not been involved in bringing up kids at all. I'm a psychologist too but I don't need research to tell me what just about any parent knows.

It is simply the Left's ongoing attempt to portray males and females as the same in order to pander to radical gay activists. In fact, one of their main goals is to "create additional genders", such as trans-sexuals, transgendered, bi-curious, etc.
What they seek is an "official" acceptance of these mentally and emotionally twisted freaks, with special rights and protections above and beyond those enjoyed by the rest of society. Seeing the picture of that little boy as "cute" is to provide them with fuel.
The solution is simple boycott the company and let them know why if a firm but polite letter
Jon, It has been a long time since I was a boy, but I think that you have it only half right. Boys certainly do not want to do anything girly, but at the same time, they are fascinated by girls; they do not despise girls.
is there a father in the child's life?

If there is he is probably gender confused or denied all parental rights. NO self respecting father would allow such a thing to be condoned.

he's only a child - who cares what he likes painted on himself. He's not likely to do the same when he's 15 or 20, and if he does, so what - will he blame it on his parents?
My kids are both boys and girls and all it takes is being a parent to understand the drivel that comes from their desire to have boys be more like girls. I've even had arguments with child social workers over this. Of course, the social worker in question was single and childless.................
Don't know anything about the nail polish, but I do know that's one hick of a polished, expensive streaking job on his hair.
guys are vain like peacocks in many other ways
