Of coarse! That's what your government, and the mentally ill that run it tell you is the thing to do. What's funny is the sense of nationalism you draw from it. I don't even need to generalize.
Im sorry but Im gonna have to back up Ivan there. Who gives a flying
fluff about what my kid(s) play(s) with. If my daughter wants to play cars, climb trees, Hu fluffing Rah let her do it. If she wishes to play barbies same story. If you believe otherwise heston I'm sorry man but then you are just going raise your childeren into having a stigmatized state of mind.
As a therapist I've done some research on the subject in the past as quite a few clients/patients ran into issues after growing up with a lot of stigma's. Science proves us that free thinkers get much further in this world when it come to career, school, health and building a family / life but also run into less issues when it comes to mental health (reduced chances of burn-out or depression for example).
So raising childeren as free thinkers gives them more oppurtunities in general. Up to you how you take what I just said. If you want me to post you literature and studies on how stigmatizing these kind of types with childeren can damage them in the long run I can post you a ton. But then again you should be able to google that yourself.
