Dry the Rain
This page is a weird mix of rantings and ravings, Music, graffiti, punk,Doctor Who, postpunk, comics,art, general silliness and GPOB (gratuitous pictures of Bowie). Sometimes I post about the 2012 US elections, and I stan for Obama.

Yesterday my mom posted a picture on Facebook of my 5 year old brother Sam wearing a pair of shoes he picked out for his first day of preschool.
She explained to him in the store that they were really made for girls. Sam then told her that he didn’t care and that “ninjas can wear pink shoes too.”
Sam went to preschool and got several compliments on his new shoes. Not one kid said anything negative toward him about it.
However, my mom received about 20 comments on the photo from various family members saying how “wrong” it is and how “things like this will affect him socially” and, put most eloquently by my great aunt, “that shit will turn him gay.”
My mom then deleted the photo and told Sam that he can wear whatever he wants to preschool, that it’s his decision. If he wants to wear pink shoes, he can wear pink shoes.
Sam then explained to her that he didn’t like them because they were pink, he liked them because they were “made out of zebras” and zebras are his favorite animal. :)
Adorable. This is the shit good parenting is made out of. Fuck the haters, that kid looks damn cute in those pink shoes.
I would have left the picture up and told everyone to fuck off.
And zebras are made of awesome. :)
This is perfect. Just look at him. He’s so adorable and he looks absolutely thrilled.
Very telling that the kids had no problem whatsoever with this, and the adults were the ones flipping their shit.
The next generation is going to be so awesome - if we can keep these stupid harmful societal messages away from them.
