ANYWAY its good that she lets him play with whatever he wants right now, By the time he starts playing with older boys he will get enough of the "that's so gay" convo from them.

She still lets him play with them, so I don't get the issue, but that's because there is none. You're just trying hard to be shady.

I'm neither "bitter" nor "trying hard to be shady". I'm taking issue with the fact that separation between genders is forced on children by society.
She lets her son play with "girl" toys, sure, but she showed in her statement that she still thinks it's "meant for girls", which is the root issue.
In before I'm called a "social justice warrior" or "overly politically correct" when I just don't want a gender roles and concepts to be on kids' minds from the time they can walk.
