Target Phasing Out Gender-Based Colors
Do you know what fascism is? One thing about it is it always starts with petty seemingly harmless ***like this. Next thing you know you are ruled under a dictatorship where any freethinking is illegal and disagreeing with the government is considered treason. Just look in history text books, the cycle is starting a new, we are repeating history.

Don't worry if they had it their way being offended would be part of the Bill of Rights...
You some kids in the world worry about getting clothes and food. While in America parents worry about their feels. Valefor.Endoq said: » In the US they would call you a "tomboy" and that's the kind of ***that actually makes kids confused. And if this were reversed a boy would be called a sissy or something to that effect, regardless of the fact the kid is too young to even be thinking about sex, but now the damage is done and that kid will be needlessly questioning his or her gender identity at way too young of an age. Seriously? Just stop. You have no idea what you're talking about.

That's why he only posts if certain buzzwords set off the alarm in his house.

I don't see how Target is benefiting from this. (outside of money lost from feel crowd) Do people that shop at target really get upset about gender neutral signing ? I didn't know this was such a big deal.
If signs offended you well...that's too damn bad. You don't get to dictate how Target runs it's company. Cerberus.Pleebo said: » This will not lead to a new world order, sorry. Ramyrez said: » Seriously? Just stop. You have no idea what you're talking about. Cerberus.Pleebo said: » Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? A company decided to remove unnecessary signage. This will not lead to a new world order, sorry. Oh the irony!

I'm going to write Target an e mail saying they the color red offends me. I want them to change the corporate logo. Gender neutral corporate logos please !
Also as an anti gun activist I object to a Target logo it encourages gun violence !

You guys are making a fuss equal to the activist you're seemingly disapproving.
Shop changes signs so they do not offer any subtle influence towards sex specific classifications. BIG DEAL. It was pointless to *** about it to have em changed, but just as pointless to *** about the fact they have been. Let's stress about everything always guys, it's good for our health.

Johnny we have done the impossible detected sarcasm ! This day will live in infamy ! The sad part is this woman wasn't being sarcastic they actually believe in gender neutral signs or something.

I've known too many people who aren't because they're stuck living within societal and cultural norms and it has almost universally caused harm.

I'm so busy conforming to societal and cultural norms I forget who I am sometimes ! I bet you 5 cookies that girl painted her son's nails on purpose to show the world how openmind a family they are.
Don't mind me, I don't trust anyone these days.

Oh god, calling your statement ridiculous is not a personal attack. I'm actually addressing your words.
What is there to elaborate on? You went from sign removal to dictatorship in about 3 posts. Read the statement they issued and please point to the unreasonable parts.
[+]
Valefor.Endoq said: » Compelling input you have added, but can you elaborate maybe? Or did you never have a point? Being a Tomboy or playing with dolls as a boy never actually hurt anyone. It's people in turn treating them differently for it that causes the problems. How about, instead of defending your child by telling them they can't pursue what comes naturally, everyone teaches their children not to be shitty to other children.
[+]
 In the future, this will just say 'Building Sets'. Everyone please proceed to freak the *** out.
[+]
This could all be summarized with: won't someone please think of the children !

Until today I was unaware of the harmful effects of the colors blue and pink had on our children !

"This is my son, Billy. I brought him here today because he a hero. He is bravely standing up to societal norms by being different." "But Mom, I don't want to be different!" "Shut up, Billy. You will be different and you will like it."
[+]
I think the name Billy is harmful to young girls that may also be named Billie... we need more gender neutral names like Sam !
[+]
No, I disagree with that. There isn't really a reason to believe the kid doesn't actually enjoy it. I just question who initiated it, given the character.

Ragnarok.Josiahfk said: » I am impressed at target, this is great to see. It's only in the last 100 years that society dictated pink was feminine; It was described as a masculine color in the 1920's and gradually changed as people slowly purchased blue for their boys more and more. In 1953, Dwight D Eisenhower's presidential inauguration where his wife wore a pink dress is thought to have been a turning point to the association of pink as a color associated with girls. Mamie Eisenhower's strong liking of pink led to the public association with pink being a color that, "ladylike women wear." YouTube Video Placeholder |
