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?

yes, I would. I'm so tired of gender barriers and roles.

I think the v-tech and Leap Frog type of things are absolutely great! Everything in moderation. Children start playing video games in order to learn, in order to have fun, in order not to be bored, etc. And they get in the habit of doing that and not going outside to play.

When we were younger, my brother and I spent time playing catch, riding bikes, playing hide and seek, tag, etc. My nieces and nephew spend all of their spare time playing computer games.

great point.

FTR: I don't let my son play with toy guns either.

It is an effort to continue the pussification of man. "Get your child this toy. Just think, in 20 years, he too can answer phones, iron the clothes, cook, and do the dishes when he gets home from work" Made by Oprah, right? Just kidding actually, I do all the cooking in the house, and my son likes to "help" (read make a mess) too. Nothing wrong with it. It would be nice if it came in less fem colors though.

Why would teaching a kid about cooking or letting them cook be gay? Are we THAT defined in our gender roles that young boys can't be taught that they can be in the kitchen too? And just so we're clear, "Gay" is NOT a synonym for stupid.

If the kid was gay, I guess I would.

I don't think you're getting it.
I don't have a problem with cooking as I have my specialty dishes myself I love making.

On the other hand... there's more resourceful toys I can choose to have my son play with that would teach him to be a man if that's what I wanted to get out of it.

Playing with freaking dishes & and ironing boards is not my idea of a toy for my boy. I learned to cook in the kitchen IN THE KITCHEN.

Decided or was born I'd support his decision.

What makes you think you have to 'teach him to be a man?'

But a Wii can be considered another word for a penis so when his kid is holding the remote it could be considered the same as holding a penis, therefore he is not going to get it for him because it might possibly be construed as gay
