Re: What do you think about toddler boys playing with dolls?
My son doesn't have a doll but I wouldn't care if he wanted one. He may very well play with one when he is at daycare...and that's totally fine.
I asked my DH about his take on the baby doll/toy kitchen thing and his response was that our son will see his father holding a baby, feeding a baby and changing a baby.....so wanting a baby doll is really like wanting to be like daddy.

Re: What do you think about toddler boys playing with dolls?
My son did play with dolls but they are Alexa's. I would never buy him his own doll.
Now he throws them and runs them over with the stroller

DH is the same way. DS isn't into dolls but he loves cooking. I just got him a cookware set and DH now agrees it's not just a "girly' thing.

Yes i would. I  at the dads that cant handle the omg, my son wants a doll bit. Give me a break. A doll is NOT going to make your boy gay. So, then if i buy my daughter a tonka, she will be a lesbian? Its all so ridiculous, this gender bs.
And, i am not speakingnto your dh. Im saying all in general.
So, yeah, buy the kid a doll if he wants who cares.
You know, I totally 100% agree with you but it's so different when it's your DH. How do I go against his wishes? I can at him all I want but if I actually went out and bought him a baby doll and his own stroller he would be so, so upset with me. Yes, it's a gender stereotype and I am soooooo against that but my DH is not, and hell I chose to marry him, I can't just disrespect him and his wishes/feelings like that.
But isn't HE disrespecting you and your wishes/feelings but being so adamant against you buying what you think is a good thing for your DS?
He married you, too, so he needs to compromise on issues too...

Re: What do you think about toddler boys playing with dolls?
http://www.gatewaygourmet.com/blog/tag/more-male-chefs/
Until very recently, the proportion of men to women in culinary schools (and in the restaurant industry as a whole) has been very uneven. Just twenty-five years ago, the percentage of women attending culinary school hovered somewhere below 10 percent. Fifteen years ago, that number jumped to around 35 percent. Today, women and men attend culinary school in almost equal proportions.
Of course, these numbers aren’t static across the board. When you look at the more prestigious schools (like the Culinary Institute of America), male students still outrank female ones 7 to 3. These numbers are a little more evenly distributed than they have been in the past, but female students can certainly feel outnumbered.
Although women and men are now attending culinary school in equal proportions, the number of male culinary professionals continues to be higher. Everyone from the celebrity chefs on Food Network and the winners on Top Chef to the Executive Chefs and restaurant owners currently in operation fall into the male majority. That’s because it’s going to take a few years before the cooking school numbers are reflected in the workforce. Women are just now starting to graduate and move beyond entry-level jobs to start finding their niches in the culinary industry.

Women make up only about 24 percent of chefs and head cooks in the United States, according to the National Restaurant Association.
Cooking is actually more *masculine* (using the definition of "male dominated" being "masculine"...) than Accountants (roughly 61% is female)
