It appears that there is a trend to give babies neutral names.
NyPo reports:
[O]ne of the hottest trends in the baby-naming world: gender-neutral monikers...“As usual, baby names are reflecting a larger cultural shift,” BabyCenter’s Global Editor-in-Chief Linda Murray wrote on the Web site last year. “Millennials are an open-minded and accepting group, and they don’t want their children to feel pressured to conform to stereotypes that might be restrictive.”It's really getting nuts out there, From Baby Center:
We recently saw Toys R Us in Sweden issue a gender-free Christmas catalog, while the company’s UK counterpart has phased out “boys” and “girls” aisles in stores, instead grouping toys by age and type.
This shift has extended to clothing outlets as well, with Banana Republic’s exclusive “mini” collection shying away from the age-old pinks and blues in favor of gender-neutral hues like grey, black and cream. Even Apple broke with tradition when it released its Apple Watch in one gender-free style: “The company apparently has no interest in reinforcing gender stereotypes,” reads one review of the new technology.
Of course, as with any hot trend, those in Hollywood have been fully on board: Kristen Bell, Blake Lively and Mila Kunis are just a few of the celebrities who picked gender-neutral names for their new arrivals.
This is all more of the wacko left's move in the direction of reality distortion. They want women in the military but safe rooms during college debates.
The left just hates the fact that there are two genders and that they function differently.
As William Shatner's character said to a male partner in the television series Boston Law after finding a female partner in the men's room: "Call me if she tries to use the urinal."

As is so often the case, Saturday Night Live was way out in front on this one:

Pink and blue are not "age-old" hues for children. Until the 19th century, children almost exclusively wore white. Then since men were dressed in red and boys were little men, little boys would dress in pink.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't until the 1920s and the invention of chemical dyes that pink became associated with girls https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink
I don't get these people.
ReplyDeleteIn a desperate attempt to not impose a gender role on their children, they are imposing a new role: "Mommy and Daddy's little experiment
ReplyDeleteIn some circles, there is something far more sinister going on. Many transsexuals suffered serious early childhood sexual trauma. There is a push to celebrate their scar tissue as though it were an eccentric birth mark. They want to normalize the coping methods of the victim to make it that much harder to spot the crime.
I dont particular care what Zuckerberg and his wife name their kid or how they raise her but if I ever have kids Im giving my son a boys name and my daughter a girls name.
