Heard something funny about that over the weekend.
Was telling a male coworker about it and they said they bought their nephew one for Xmas last year.

Am I the only one that think it's ghey?

Pretending to cook.
Dressing up dolls w/out the girl voices is the same thing.
It's playing.

Besides... what's wrong with male kids playing with barbies... I'm serious on that one. Someone please educate me.

FTR No I wouldn't buy my son a barbie either.

Hell yeah. Now you're getting it.

MiniMe already has one. It serves double duty, has a kitchenette on one side and a workbench with pegboard on the other.
He typically has the hard hat and goggles on playing with the workbench side, but occasionally he plays with the kitchen part.

You're the one who identified something as gay. I was pointing out how Barbies would support your theory. You asked for the difference. You didn't make your action figures talk? You don't play with dolls without making voices.

Here's one. I don't think I would buy it for a boy.

Don't they have a toy barbecue grill or something?!

Oh my. It comes with a phone and ironing board too? Now I see your point. Men, or little boys, should not do any of those things.

I don't get it. Does that mean you would be unhappy if your son were interested in cooking?

I'd be unhappy if I had a son whose favorite activity was dressing up his Barbies and playing tea party. Pretending to fry eggs wouldn't bother me at all. I don't know how else to answer your question.

Boys would enjoy it.

For the most part, a toddler will enjoy just about any toy you buy them. Only adults get caught up in moronic shit like this.

We're thinking the same.
Buying my son the picture above is a PERSONAL no no.
So I guess it's just for my convenience as suggested above I guess.

I wouldn't care if my son cooked. I'd support anything he believed in. even if he decided to be gay. Having said that, buying my son the picture above is just wrong.

It's your choice. They are probably expensive, and not worth the $$$. He won't develop any skills beyond small motor skills, and that can be achieved for much cheaper. Plus when he is tired of it, you'll have to get rid of the thing in a yard sale, kind of a PITA.

It won't turn him gay, or teach him how to cook, iron, or answer the phone. The main reason you don't want to buy it it is because of what your peers would think.

I wouldn't, either. Just look at how that yellow cell phone clashes with his trousers. That boy needs to learn how to accessorize.

Hell you would probably do better developmentally buying them a Wii or something.
