J.Crew ad may be transgender baby propaganda, warns Fox
You know how the homosexual fashion industry be doin': running their campaigns to destroy America's gender normativity with subversive ads for modest retail outlets like J.Crew.

Look, we're not claiming this definitely is the case, we're just taking the stance of this objective Fox News article and saying that it may be. It probably is. There's like a 90 percent chance that this ad is part of the homosexual agenda, at least according to the experts we get to weigh in on the new campaign, which shows a mom painting her son's toenails with the caption "Lucky for me I ended up with a boy whose favorite color is pink. Toenail painting is way more fun in neon."

These experts will point to the ad as "blatant propaganda celebrating transgendered children," and at least one of them should be a columnist from our own site, asking if the next step after letting little kids pick their gender would be to "bleach the skin of others so they can playact as Caucasians?"

1. This is SO stupid!...
When I saw it, I thought it was a really sweet moment between a mother and son. Seriously, how many mom's out there have put a little nail polish on their little boy's nails when they were doing their own? I can totally see just about any women I know doing this and everybody enjoying it.

This parent should be commended for allowing her son to be free to be unconstrained from nonsense stereotypical gender assignment of inanimate objects. Pink is just a color, and nail polish is just a thing. This is not going to "turn" this kid, for shit's sake! And who the hell cares if it does? Does that mean he won't be smart, or a good person, or be able to contribute to society? If pink nail polish has this effect, just think what walking around in mom's heels, or wearing a dress might do to a boy? JEEZ.

my son by 4 having all older sisters could apply eye shadow like a pro and practiced shaving with his leg extended and toe pointed, but today at 14 he is impatiently checking out his mustache growth parents should just let kids be kids

4. Craft store story- in paint isle and mom & little boy looking at paint too >
Mom asks little boy to choose his color. He picks pink. Mom says "that's for girls", puts it back and picked out something else for the little guy.

I almost said something and thank goodness I kept my mouth shut. For a change.

2. Call the toenail police! I happen to LOVE pink shirts on men, so I'll expect Agent Mike
to have me picked up any moment to be taken to fashion jail.

:silly:
