Feminist Mom Puts Her Son in Ballet,Vows to Turn Him Into a Proud Princess
thegatewaypundit ^ | Cristina Laila

Feminist mom, Leah McLaren has two sons who are your typical rough and tumble young boys. McLaren was offended by her youngest son who is only 3 years old after he rejected ‘girlish’ things and vows to turn him into a ‘proud princess whether he likes it or not’.

Liberalism is indeed a mental disorder.

Leah McLaren wrote the following article on the Canadian site The Globe and Mail:

The other day I was sitting in the park with James, 3, when I picked a dandelion and handed it to him as a present. “No way, Mummy,” he said, pushing away my gift. “Flowers are pretty and I’m a boy.”

And I thought: That’s it. I’m signing him up for ballet.

Wonderful! So her innocent 3 year old boy rejects flowers and she’s going to punish him by putting him in ballet with all girls who wear pink tutus. But wait, there’s more…

“In other words... “this one time at band camp...”

And get your mind out of gutter... this was the very early 70’s, it wasn’t like that. Why? Because it wasn’t. Even after school etc... Most households were single income. Mom’s didn’t work outside of the home for the most part. They were ON PATROL by Gawd and there was very little hanky panky happening! Of course there was that desire... but in truth... out of every 20, 25 “items” happening in high school 1 maybe 2 were actually doing “it”...

Going to reunions in later years, in many cases the women who were entangled, never attend. Sad really. But that’s what happens I guess.

Having a good time meant having fun... it’s all changed now, in fact within 5 or so years after I graduated it changed. Those romantically charged children could quite possibly have experienced psychologically altered norms later in life.

What I’ve noticed us that as grown adults the organization’s such as band or orchestra (concert band) etc... actually network better and maintain in contact as a group. It makes those get together much more enjoyable.

I guess she doesn’t know that football players take ballet to learn how to kick =P

What the heck is wrong with her? Insanity

[[If he sticks with it as he gets older, he’ll get more trim than he ever thought possible. The only boy in ballet class? Thanks mom!]]

It really is great for muscle building and you stay trim for a long time . I took it for years and always guys in my classes and none of them were treated like she thinks.
My 25 year old daughter has never been able to fit in my clothes , you really do keep the body for a long time.

She is doing the right thing for all the wrong reasons!

I sincerely wish that I had taken dance lessons when I was a youngster! My first girlFRiend was a ballerina, and I will tell one and all that learning the dance at a young age is a wonderful way to develop muscles, coordination, poise and endurance. There may be no exercise better than ballet!

Not to mention all the girls one could hope to meet!

Not all male dancers are pansies, and there are many fine athletes who owe their success to “the dance.”

The great Gene Kelly once said he learned to dance because it was a great way to pick up girls. He was a ballet master. Having said that, that was his choice. Let the poor kid make up his own mind!

Leah McLaren came under fire for a controversial column she wrote for The Globe and Mail on March 22, 2017 where she admits she once attempted to breastfeed the infant child of Conservative leadership candidate Michael Chong without his or his wife’s consent, and while she was not lactating. -- Wikipedia

Unless it is Mom’s desire to turn him into a screaming faggot. And then in order to prove herself that she’s changed him into what she wants him to be, it could be that she might have him hook up with a male friend of the, shall we say, effeminate variety?

Ballet can make a dancer very strong--just lift your leg to the front as high as you can. Lift it, don't kick. Now repeat eight times. Switch legs. Now lift to the back, then to the side. Ballerinas make an arabesque look so smooth and easy--but it requires tremendous strength.

I knew a young, very straight, young man from a class I was in. He took teasing from his peers, but was surrounded by beautiful young women in semi-undress who made a great fuss over him.

Of course, the mother is a nitwit. But a good dance class won't make a normal guy effeminate--just strong, and popular.

Wish my parents had enrolled me in a dance class. Not their fault, though. I didn't do that well with women until after a couple of years in Germany. As I learned the language, and about wine, it opened doors.

I've taught my sons about wine basics, so they now what to order when they take a woman to dinner.
