Okay, let’s get started on the name. How about Maddox Madden? Carlo, to rhyme with sister Harlow? Or simply Richie Madden? Nah, we need something less…normal. Any suggestions?

the color were traditionally reversed,but it was superstition that blue warded off witches that caused people to dress their girls in blue, fearing that their girls would be stolen and added to the coven, or worse sacrificed

…you do realize that the pink-for-girls and blue-for-boys thing is a relatively recent fad (like, in the last century), and not some part of the “natural order”, right?

Good for you. When I was a little girl, I always had to deal with people thinking I wanted pink things and barbie dolls and princesses!

Try too hard to disgender someone, then they have no roots, morals and pride., you should celebrate their gender.

Did you know that in ye olden days, the colour for boys was pink and the colour for girls was blue?

It’s because pink is close to red- ie: passionate, warlike, aggressive colour- whereas blue was seen as a more calm, passive colour, therefore more suitable for females.

I agree with the hatred of the pink- blue- brainwashing that goes on with children. Why constrain them to a set of limiting gender rules from before they’re even born? I’m also surprised that Joel Madden, since he’s sooooooo “rock and roll” (LOL) wants his children to be so conventional.

I think it’s worse with pink though… It seems like it’s acceptable for boys to have green, red and cool machine colours like silver and stuff but for girls ALL THINGS MUST BE PINK AND LURID.
It’s very strange.

Absolutely not. I always think of the lovely and intelligent women in my life as “multiple holes just to be plugged”.

That whole color brainwashing thing irritates me to no end. I search frantically for greens, yellows and reds for my child, just so I don’t give in to the forced color scheme our society had imposed on us.

On a side note, I’m also greatly irritated with having Barbie and Princesses shoved down my throat.
