If he wanted it yes

I have no hang ups, the question is do you? You seem to be questioning me as if you expect me to say no way.

whats "action Man " if not a male dolly. same with star wars characters etc that we had as kids

Nahhh, Im not quizzing you, perhaps Im quizzing myself. I have or at least thought I had no hang up, no "ism's", just cant picture myself buying a doll ( not an action figure ) a pram or toy kitchen sort stuff for a male child. I would feel uncomfortable
 
wonder if thats because your parents didnt let you play with them and told you they were girlie toys and accused you of being gay?

Only needs one div to wreck a decent thread dont it :D:D

Me mum an dad dint think I was gay lol, least I dont think so :p
 
my son played with a doll and pram when he was little he was always running off with his sisters pram he is 22 years old now with a wife and two daughters.
 
i wasnt saying that playing with dolls make boys gay, i was just sayin what i have had some parents have said to me at work,.​
 
My little boy plays with dolls, prams, houses, kitchens, bratz and whatever else he can lay his sticky hands on. He got a lovely dolls house with a nice pink roof for christmas that he loves and often takes one of his dolls shopping with us, but he also loves his boys toys just as much :D

I think that amongst the older male generation there was the notion, fed to them by their parents, when they were growing up that playing with dolls, prams, and other 'girls' toys would make them into a sissy.

Likewise a girl who played with garages and cars would grow up to be butch and manly.

Of course, we know now that this is not so but in my opinion this is what was thought 50 or so years ago.

Spot on Lilly.
 
there was aprogram on about it the other day with james may.
he said boys never wanted to play with girls toys and girls never wanted to play with boys toys

they tested it with monkeys years ago
 
my son plays with whatever he wants, but mostly boy stuff, hes a right rough a tumble lad!
but theres nowt wrong with playing with girlie stuff, my daughter always played with cars when she was younger, never wanted dolls, now she into rock and black stuff...emmm....lol...a right emo, well thats what i call her:D
 
My brother is 3 and has 'girly' toys, but its not having them that bothers me, i just hate it when he insists on taking the barbie doll or the baby out with him because alot of people think he will end up being gay :rolleyes: I think its a silly idea personally but you cant change peoples ways, and if thats what they think then thats that.
