Can boys play with Barbie?

Question

My cuz i think he's 12 or 13 likes to play with Barbies, he has no sisters only a brother, he's not gay, he has a gf, but is it wierd that he plays with Barbies at that age, he told me that it gives him ideas for his stories,he want's to be a writer, and plus we're Christians

by playing with them he acts out his stories and uses the Barbies at his characters, he doesn't sit around and play fashion show, he likes plays lost on a deserted island after a plane crashed, is that weird

and what i'm saying about being a Christian is cuz being a homo is wrong, it says that in the Bible

Answer 1

uhhhhhh, personal opinion. i dont think it matters.

Answer 2

Not sure about an 11 year old. But sure guys like playing Sims. I used to play with Barbies when I was like 4 maybe 5.

Answer 3

Well, if the Barbies aren't hindering him from meeting girls, I guess anything goes.

I mean, what of a guy who is 110% "normal," but also lonely and doesn't have any friends or romance in his life? A lot of good that did!

So, it all boils down to the concrete facts. Nothing is a burden until it is a burden.

I threw out all of my videogame stuff, because I thought only nerds play videoames on Friday nights, instead of going out on dates. Yet, I'm still at home on Friday nights, and I see guys who play videogames go on dates all the time. A lot of good that did me...

Answer 4

I used them to create literary work which is published in The National Library of Congress. I had no sisters in my family. My gender was never confused in my mind. I never was afraid of hard physical work. My attraction has always been to only females. Never have my desire to wear female clothes. Princess is not very smart. She knows nothing about this subject. I have been told that I should not even try to write by a teacher with a degree. She has no work published like me. Writing something worth putting down takes work. Sometimes seeing an object can stimulate the mind in the creative process. Just declaring the use of dolls as not normal indicates rigid ignorance and unwillingness to embrace common sense. Expectant fathers are given dolls to play with in order to be good fathers. This is widely accepted. Why not train the boy about the responsability of being a good father, husband, or boyfriend by using dolls while a child? It is traditional hypocrisy to say only dolls are for females and then give that same male a doll in birthing class. It is a lie which must be recognized and deleted from child rearing training. Parents need to be retrained to use the dolls to reinforce their morals which they want to instill in the child. Boys who like Barbies is natural. He is male and it represents female. How many parents want their sons to date and marry a female? Teach him that it is normal. Show him how to care for and respect females through using the dolls. Show him how not to treat a female. The reality is that society calls male who like or plays with dolls as gender confused, unmasculine, not normal because it is perpetuated from generation to generation Boys who are easily manipulated by such thaught fulfill those same expectations. Taking the time to participate in play with the child has been ignored or treated as an unpleasant activity by many parents. The child needs to feel you are having fun with him. Girls have been told that the aisles with the cars, trucks, and such are for boys. Do not girls grow up to be of age to drive cars and trucks? See the hypocrisy in such thinking? Nobody would say that if your cuz was a female using a truck would be not normal . Why should the dolls matter for the guy? Use basic common sense and listen.

Answer 5

I dont think it is normal, but who said it was wrong?
Theres no law on it, let the little guy enjoy what he likes, maybe he'll be one of those collectors that end winning a million because he saved a common Barbie in a box that became very very very rare in a distant future, Hope this gives you something to think about.

Answer 6

It might give him ideas because i do the same things with my old soft toys and stories just pour out.About the Barbies, maybe he wants to write stuff for shows like Kim Possible or stuff like that which has a girl main character.

Answer 7

I don't see why you are concerned. If he says he is using them for "creative juices" don't make a huge deal out of it. My youngest likes to carry around a little stuffed bear that happens to look like a purse. It freaked me out at first but I realized I'm the one making the big deal about it, not him. One more thing, I'm a Christian, what does that have to do with anything? The Bible doesn't say we can't play with gender specific toys..... Just that we aren't supposed to sleep with the opposite sex in a sexual manner. I don't see anything sexual about the situation you described.

Answer 8

well i don't find there is anything wrong with it. probably if he is not some other barbie games u must get worried! that's if he hasn't any girl friend!! since he does have one that sorts of clears the doubt. so i guess its best to let him do whatever makes him happy.

Answer 9

There's nothing wrong with Boy's playing with girls toys
or Girls playing with Boy's toys,actually it's really A
good idea, it let's both sex's see and experience the
different roles in life and that's A great thing.

Answer 10

Does he make the barbies dance to his Paris Hilton CD?

Answer 11

I don't care what you say. Boys just don't sit around playing with dolls. It's not natural. Your cousin is gay.
