What Is "Girly Looking"?
Because an oven is pink, that makes it 'girly' looking? Your son is 5, why are you gender typing? If you had a girl who liked baseball, would you question buying her the Little Tikes t-ball set because it is blue and red? (Yes, I know they make a pink and purple one now but that is new). I suppose you don't buy him dolls either eh?
It is parents who make young kids feel shameful for liking something that the parents have labeled boy or girl. A toy is a toy and both genders should be encouraged to play with all toys. Girls should not be denied trucks and action figures and boys should not be denied dolls and kitchen sets. A 5 year old should not know that something is 'girly' unless the parents have put that in their head. Take him to the store to look at the easy bake ovens and let him decide for himself if he wants a pink oven or not. Adults are not the kind of people you should be asking this question to. Whether it is too "girly" or not should not even be a question.

I hate parents who stereotype children. My mother was that way. I wanted a rifle for Christmas so bad one year. Do you know what she told me. Girls don't get guns for Christmas. I got a stupid sewing machine instead. Yeah it still bugs me 20 years later. If the little kid wants to bake let him bake!!!!

And I love the "stupid sewing machine" comment above. :)
Only white trash give their daughters guns for Christmas. ie. Pumpkinpea
Hijack here, but I hadn't seen this mentioned. The thread where SherryW's kid plowed someother kid in the mouth and broke his jaw, all in the guise of "wrestling". If one of the peas had posted about their kid getting his jaw broke all hell would have broke lose in peaville about violent childen and juvenile delinquents, but since it is Sherry its all "they are both at fault" "they were just horsing around". Bullshit. If some kid punched mine and broke his jaw, I'd be suing your little ass off. Oh, this isn't the first incident either she states!
Yeah I've taken some heat from my family because my DD likes dinosaurs and trucks. I was actually told she is going to be a lesbian if I don't stop it. I guess Fisher Price and Matchbox have special dust they sprinkle on their boys toys so the kids crave pussy. *eyeroll*

Then I guess I'm white trash and proud of it!!! There is absolutely nothing wrong with a girl getting a gun for Christmas.
My son had a pink vacuum when he was little. It was cute. They didn't used to make vacuums in gender-neutral colors and the little pumpkin wanted to be just like mom. So I bought him the pink vac and he was adorable pushing it around the house in his Blue's Clues jammies.
The woman who is twisted up about the pink oven is on her way to raising a boy who will become a husband who thinks his wife should be grateful that he manages to empty the dishwasher once every five years.

Pumpkin Pea, is that you?
Give me a break. It's my thread and I just asked a freakin' question. If you could read (Can you read?), you would notice it isn't me I'm concerned about, it's the southern men in my family. DS plays with dolls and other girl stuff - totally not a big deal to me.
I don't stereotype him - he's a kid! Why would I do that?
Again, if you can read (still wondering about that one), you would see that I am getting him one and dammit - we are making CAKE!!!!!!
"The woman who is twisted up about the pink oven"
Who is twisted up about a pink oven? I never mentioned the color pink NOR was I twisted up about it. Twisted - that's just laughable. :)
Where's Paris???

I have to agree with this. My daughter is 5.5years and she play with everything from dolls to her matchbox car collection. She loves to watch sports with her daddy.
She was told by a little boy in her preschool that car she brought for show and tell was a "boy toy".
I told her that it is for anyone who wants to play with it. And that since she likes both "boy toys" and "girl toys" she has more choices.
You all know don't you that if you let your 5 year old son play with dolls he is going to turn into a flaming gay man who likes perverted sex with animals and of course cross dresses and stalks young boys right? I mean seriously this transformation occurs overnight.
Now she changed her OP and her title. She's trying to make it sound like she didn't ask if it would be too girly. And when someone mentioned there was a blue one she was all over that. Now she's acting like she never had a problem with the pink. WHATEVER!!
Why would you want to raise a fag?

You don't raise one they are born that way. So taking away a doll from a boy isn't going to prevent him from becoming straight just like giving a girl tonka trucks isn't going to turn her into a pussy muncher.
