- joey
What's wrong with a science set that makes lip gloss? It's still chemistry, and not all chemists have to be pharmaceutical researchers. If it gets a young girl interested in science, let it be pink. Maybe then if it is pink, she won't have to worry about her peers thinking she's a nerd or somehow less-than-feminine for liking things that aren't traditionally thought of as feminine pursuits.
- cecily
The pinkification I still find dangerous - again this idea that to be "ok" a girl has to fit such a narrow narrow narrow range, this conformism you pick up, this required constant worry about fitting in and what others might think... I think it is conditioning. On the other hand the trivialisation of "girly" interests is also negative, the idea that if you make red ink or light acid...
more...
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I'm raising my kid not to be worried about what others think of her. I don't care what the chemistry set makes, it's that it's pink. She can make lip glass with a standard chemistry set. I don't see how making things pink make it okay for a girl to pursue certain interests. I had most of these toys as a child in normal primary colors. Besides extracting more money from parents (because yes, these do costs more than the "regular" ones) what purpose does the pink serve besides to trivialize?
- Admiral Anika
And Ilia has pink stuff. I don't like it, but she does. <--That has nothing to do with pink being "girly" I just think the color is pukey. But I don't go out of my way to buy her pink stuff (Sanrio stuff, excepted) and depending on the item, I'll let it slide. But this stuff? HELL NO.
- Admiral Anika
Pink doesn't trivialize. Pink is a colour. We put our own meaning on it. EDIT: And while I'm not a parent, I was a little girl/teenage girl once, and I know that sometimes the opinions of our peers counts more than the opinions of our parents. If that weren't the case, I never would've ridden my bike in the street, rollerskated down the huge hill at my elementary school, or as I got...

- cecily
Joelle, that's how I feel about it...that there are implications on both sides for conditioning and of trivialization of traditionally 'feminine' interests. It's tough, because both of them are things that I want to avoid.
- joey
Okay, maybe the color itself doesn't trivialize, but the flowers and butterflies on the Yahtzee game, the fact that the telescope is less powerful, but costs more, the microscope that that doesn't come with blood or bug slides...I have a pretty smart, girly girl who is interested in science as it is.
- Admiral Anika
And FWIW, I hated pink as a little girl, unless it was pale pink ribbons on the ends of my pigtails. :)
- cecily
Anika, if the telescope is less powerful and that the microscope is less complete, etc. then that is a totally different issue to me. THAT is trivializing. Like, 'oh here, have your play toy while the boys have their real one.'
- joey
What Joey said. It isn't about the colour necessarily, it's about that they're limiting the features because they're targeting girls.
- cecily
And Cecily, I was raised (as just about everyone in our family) that what others think of your (honest) pursuits, the clothes you wear and all that is frivolous as long as you do what makes you happy and enjoy your pursuits. I'm teaching her the same thing. I've never been a herd-follower. If anyone had an issue with it when I was little, I never heard it. I got mocked for clothes I wore, but then in a year everyone else was wearing it too. Still, never cared because I thought I looked good. =)
- Admiral Anika
I think it's less about being part of the 'herd', than it is part of a child's process of individuating from their parents and making their own choices, even if those choices are informed by their friends. There are different spheres of influence, and they all contribute to a child's development.
- cecily
I think so long as you don't make it not okay for Ilia to like pink your efforts, Anika, are commendable. She (and any other little girl) should never feel they can ONLY use some colours/toys/items just as they shouldn't feel they can NEVER use some colours/toys/items. As far as children following their parents example or their peers...it really depends on the child and on the home life. I never cared what other kids my age thought of me, in fact I generally thought they were immature little drones.
- Soup
By the way Anika, how old is Ilia? I think she might be quite small yet, yes? I ask because I have a book series I think you'd both enjoy but it's a chapter book series for young adults (late elementary-middle school depending on the kid)
- Soup
She's 6.5 right now. She's been getting read chapter books for the past 3 years. It's only recently that I started reading her fiction for her age group.

April, I agree with much of that, but by saying that only the 'blue' one is the 'legitimate' one, we're already making it just as bad for boys and cramming each gender in their respective box.

"Children with autism have unexplainable breakdowns -- their outbursts are often loud, aggressive and disturbing. Julian slams himself against the ground or wall while he screams, flailing his limbs. Julian's younger brother, Marcus, 3, squirms away from his parents and runs into the street to oncoming cars because he is fascinated by them. He also screams with such ferocity that his face turns purple and mucus bubbles from his nostrils. Their youngest brother, Aric, also has autism and just turned 1 year old.

I think we'd all agree that episodes of violent and aggressive behavior are unacceptable, but some folks in this thread have stated that this kind of autism is not a welcome form of diversity, which I'd strongly disagree with.

What about all the other behaviors?

I think calling this "welcome diversity" sugarcoats the thing way too much. To give an extreme example, pedophiles have something in their brains that makes them pedophiles and is not curable.

To clarify, I do believe that autistic people should be welcomed, although most people can't tell the difference between a misbehaving child who should know better and an autistic child who isn't capable of understanding. However, autism in this form shouldn't be any more welcomed as a form of diversity than pedophilia, alcoholism, schizophrenia, or psycopathy.

I think that normal children behaving in a loud or violent fashion isn't acceptable either. If I see a child break down in a public space, I try to see if the parents are trying to do anything about it, and then I judge.

I had my head down while hiking ahead of some friends on a backpacking trip in the Tetons. I looked up and realized I had wandered into the middle of a 40+ herd of elk in the middle of the woods.

One winter I drove a snow covered road known as the Hurley... somewhere between Pemberton and Lillooet, I had to pull over as the sky was a kaleidoscope of color -- the last rays of light were the color of bruised flesh deepening as the sun dipped down... and all this colorful beauty was being reflected back again in the white dusting of snow that stuck to the mountain crags. Crimson orange into burnt plum. Gorgeous.

"It was the liquor loved by thirsty cowboys and was immortalised by the Hollywood legend Humphrey Bogart in The Big Sleep. But Prohibition nearly killed off the taste of the frontier when America turned to the milder demands of bourbon. Now, rye is back, and has punched Scotch straight through the saloon bar doors to be named the world's top-rated whiskey. The 2010 edition of the Whisky Bible, Britain's biggest selling whisky book, has named 18-year-old Sazerac Rye from Kentucky as the finest dram available to mankind. The amber chestnut spirit, celebrated for its oak, leather and molasses overtones with hints of mint and eucalyptus, beat off competition from 3,850 whiskies including second-placed Ardbeg Supernova from the Hebridean island of Islay, arguably the smokiest dram ever made, and which has dominated the awards for the past three years."

"Monogamy is under siege. But not from uncloseted polyamorists, adolescent ''hook-up'' advocates, radical feminists, godless communists or some vast homosexual conspiracy. The culprit is our own biology. Researchers in animal behaviour have long known that monogamy is uncommon in the natural world, but only with the advent of DNA ''fingerprinting'' have we come to appreciate how truly rare it is. Genetic testing has recently shown that even among many bird species - long touted as the epitome of monogamous fidelity - it is not uncommon for 6 per cent to 60 per cent to be fathered by someone other than the mother's social partner. We now know scientifically that social monogamy does not necessarily imply sexual monogamy."
- RAPatton
from Bookmarklet
"First, there can be no serious debate about whether monogamy is natural for human beings. It isn't. A Martian zoologist visiting planet Earth would have no doubt: Homo sapiens carry all the evolutionary stigmata of a mildly polygamous mammal with both sexes having a penchant for occasional ''extra-pair copulations''."
- RAPatton
"To be sure, monogamy isn't easy; nor is it for everyone. But those who claim they're not cut out for monogamy miss the point: No one is. No one's biology precludes monogamy either. As Jean-Paul Sartre famously advised (albeit in a different context): ''You are free; choose.''"
