Toxic Feminist Parenting

by

A Canadian feminist claims she is forcing her three-year-old son into ballet as punishment for being “too masculine.”

The other day I was sitting in the park with James, 3, when I picked a dandelion and handed it to him as a present. “No way, Mummy,” he said, pushing away my gift. “Flowers are pretty and I’m a boy.”

And I thought: That’s it. I’m signing him up for ballet.

I’m going to turn the little alphabet belcher into a proud princess whether he likes it or not.

Imagine growing up with a mother who despises you for being a normal boy.

  1. Many mothers are uncomfortable with men and their sons’ being future men, and give out signals that the son had better adopt the mother’s viewpoint. Especially in matriarchal or “single-parent” families.

    Yes, some are more toxically political about it.

  2. I got sent to ballet classes, and me and the only other boy there got thrown out of the school for flushing the girls underwear down the toilet. This mother may not get what she thinks from her little princess

  3. Evil woman.

    The schools are feminized and recalcitrant boys are medicated and counseled to not be so boyish. It’s all for the oppressed girls that, statistically, are better off than boys.

    Lately, Windows 10 has been letting me know that only 6.7 percent of women graduate with STEM degrees. They leave out the part where the tell me how many men graduate with STEM degrees.

    The MS factoid is only true if you define STEM to exclude a fair number of disciplines.

    Beating all the icky masculinity out of men and boys is a dangerous experiment and I don’t think anyone will like the conclusion.

  5. And contrary to her wishes, she may find that the son will be very athletic and from having to fend off teasing, may turn out to be more masculine than even.

    I feel sorry for the boy, though.

    (I am also reminded of the straight male figure Olympic skater many years ago who said he went into figure skating instead of hockey because that’s where the girls were.)

  6. The author makes two good points:

    1. Aren’t we supposed to allow children, even very young children, complete freedom to determine their own gender identity? (And I ask, if young James insisted he was really a girl and not a boy, would his mother be celebrating and offering to help with his transition?)

    2. If society’s gender conditioning is bad, why is mommy’s gender conditioning good?

    Finally, I wonder why he was named James and not something more gender-neutral like Chris or Terry, and where is James’s father in all this?

  7. If she had a daughter that liked pink fluffy stuffed animals would she make the girl join peewee football?

    Does the mother wear any makeup?
