    Dude seems to have more than a couple of issues with women and his masculinity.

    I was not allowed as a child to play with dolls. Nor was I encouraged to cook and help out in the kitchen. All I can say from a half century of observation is that a child will become whomever he/she was meant to with or without gender-specific childhood toys or activities.

    Lol. I don't know that he has issues, but I can say that my feelings about Barbie rival would resemble that of a serial killer. If you're interested, you can read about it at my post here.

    I would say that it is best to let a child become whoever he/she is meant to be. In my opinion, most sex-specific toys and activities seem rather irrelevant in these times.
