He would definitely get teased.  

I think the goal of advertisements like this to send the message that there really are no gender distinctions anymore.  
That's the goal?


I thought the goal of any advertising is to sell more product.  So you think J Crew is trying send a message about gender distinctions or are they just tapping in on something that already exists?

Thanks. 

Best case scenario is yours...that if he gets teased and it doesn't bother him...maybe he could even encourage others and help them w/his reaction or non-reaction.

Worst case, he gets teased/bullied and it affects him greatly in a detrimental way. Unfortunately some kids take it all the way. 


Kids self correct based on social norms.  I don't think our kids today go around thinking wearing pink nail polish is a cool thing.  So I would think that the kids would take that crap off even before he starts going to school.

Its harder to indoctrinate someone who has a backbone and will stand up for what they think is right,  rather than someone who is easily manipulated and persuaded

Good point.  I should have said one of the goals, instead of "the" goal.

J. Crew sells men's shit already.

I think this was an ad specifically to target mothers... mothers think it's cute and shit.

Well Tu,  like i said earlier, it doesn't bother me at all.  If i saw a kid running around outside with pink nail polish i wouldn't trip or think his parents are rasing him wrong.  Frankly i think the whole gender identity debate is over kill.  If some dude wants to wear a dress i really don't care.

Frankly if the kid was outside I'd just be glad he wasn't inside playing Black Ops eating Twinkies and Macaroni & Cheese weighing 500 pounds.  I think this is a far bigger issue.

And good for J. Crew or any other company trying to create new business.  The market dictates what these companies sell.

the whole men should dress like men and vice versa is dumb.  Dress how ever the fuck you want, who cares.  And Tom Sawyer was gay anyway.

Don't get me wrong, I love call of duty, but you have to agree, there are way too many fat  big boned kids these days.  Why?  cause they don't play outside much like we used to do.

It is what it is.   I see these dolled up hags and wenches coddling their sissy sons and babing them.  Its awful.   Boys need rocks, guns, worms, knives, footballs, etc, not makeup, Barbie Dinette Set, and nail polish.  

Whoever disagrees with me on this probably voted for obama anyway - so fuck off.

Kid in that pic was not a baby. i'm for tough love.    World is a jungle and kids need to be taught how to survive, thrive, and live i the world the way it is, not how the pussy lib men (Alan Colmes, Ezra Klein, etc), and domineering c%^& women try to exact on others.  

Pink toe nail poish?  Come on!  What next - a fuckin Shirley Temple dress?
