[…] (quote) Gender based clothing is just another practice of ours that demarcates the differences between sexes in society. Children by birth have no such thoughts of their own, but as they grow, people around them make them realize about their identity as male or female. Their behavior and liking are shaped like wise. I strongly appreciate unisex clothing rather than deep neck blouses for women and collared shirts for men. It can be a step ahead to minimize the pseudo differences between the two. May be decrease sex based crimes and move closer towards a better civilization.well said,the-way-it-is isn’t the-way-it-has-to-be (unquote) – http://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2010/08/05/why-not-gender-neutral-clothes/ […]

The clothes are all unisex. The clothes in the boys and girls sections are all unisex, just put in the section based on what parents would prefer for a boy or a girl.

[…] This is not quite new, but UK clothing store Polarn O. Pyret still has the right idea in selling clothes for kids without distinguishing boys’ clothes from girls’ clothes. More on their strategy here. […]

Like most parts of the country, and anger by the designer killed innocent unarmed young teenager. Black Voices spoke with the Huffington Post about this issue, and to express their views on the alleged concern in our society that people of color are always up to no good

Front zippers aren’t that great. If you’ve ever zipped your private parts into one, you know what I mean. Women’s clothing comes with zippers in the front, on the side or in the rear. It also comes with no zipper at all. A choice might be nice. Clothing can be cut to fit any body dimensions. That includes yoga pants. Redesigning size charts might be the answer.

Maybe you should ask your guy friends whether that is true. When they answer, ask them why or why not. You are making some assumptions that I think are incorrect. Also, what if a couple wants to dress identically to show their bond to each other? Shouldn’t they be allowed to do that and to be able to obtain clothing tailored to fit each of their body types?

This may seem an odd thing to say, but it seems to me that the piercing of a baby’s ears is child abuse. I wonder if I’m the only one in the world who finds pierced ears to be offensive.

Try to find a pair of stonewashed men’s jeans without back pockets.

Sorry, but your update is incorrect. Yes, there ARE “boy” and “girl” sections, but if you actually click on them, you discover it’s not a choice, it’s the ILLUSION of choice. All of the items listed are identical, with the order slightly changed. This is true for every category. They have, in fact, made a “principled stand”, they just cater to stupid people by pretending the multiple doors don’t all lead to the same showroom.

When I was little my mum often bought me clothes from the boys section simply because they were more colourful and had all the popular cartoon characters printed on them, while all the girls clothes were uniformly pink and only had butterfly or heart prints. If you turn on the TV you’ll never see a girl playing with a lightsaber or a train set, only dolls and easy bake-ovens. It’s not a bad thing for a girl to like girly things, and we shouldn’t discourage them from being themselves, but we have to show kids that it’s ok to boys and girls to play with the same toys or wear unisex clothes, and this needs to be reflected in the way these products are marketed.

I knew there was a dearth of rainbows and butterflies and general warm colors that weren’t red. Please, God, deliver us from “masculine as neutral”.

I have a little girl who loves headbands and skirts and bows and rainbows and all things pretty, much to my disappointment. I tried to raise her more neutrally, but eventually had to let her do what she wanted to do.
Ah. So devaluing femininity and forcing a child to alter their interests to reflect yours is good parenting? News to me.
