Story here.
Apparently, Concerned Women for America are Concerned that adding a third option for the "What gender are you?" question ("I don't know") on Mattel's Barbie Poll will warp the kiddies' fragile lit-tul miiinds.
Concerned Woman Bob Knight elaborates:
"It's the idea that well, maybe people aren't born a particular biological sex, or they are but that shouldn't determine their gender identity," Knight said. "And that's a very big component of the homosexual activist agenda now."
..."In other words, any kid who's not sure about who he is, he's fair game to try to persuade to have same sex acts."
I guess now that Mattel has apparently changed it to "Don't Want to Say," the worry could conceivably be that the kids might develop an anti-authoritarian attitude and become deliquents, or Communists. But at least that's better than having your four-to-eight-year-olds go all pomo homo on your ass. Damn those online polls, anyway.
I can't believe Mattel put that on there in the first place. Could they really be that progressive?

ReplyDeletebut what happens to the kids who don't know now?
