Progressives: Giving your son a boy name could make him think he's a boy

A recent New York Times article noted that celebrity parents are favoring "post-gender" or "gender agnostic" names for their newborns. The piece cites examples like Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green, who named their son "Journey," and Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell, who named their second daughter "Delta" (their first daughter? "Lincoln").

"Gender-blurring baby names are on the rise among American parents," the article notes.

“The old ‘Boy Named Sue’ idea of a boy being shamed by having a girl’s name is passing away,” Pamela Redmond Satran, a founder of the baby-naming website Nameberry, told the Times. Last December, Nameberry called "post-gender" names (that is, a name given to both boys and girls in roughly equal measure) the biggest trend for 2016. “Today, boys named Tatum feel as cool as girls named Rory, and vice versa.”

I visited a farm and all the cows had number tags on their ears.

They do that here too. You can buy the tags at Tractor Supply. They are on a peg board in numerical order, 1-99.

Was talking to an old farmer there one day who asked why there were no #17 tags on the peg. I told him "they had to retire that number. She was a really great cow."

Discovered farmers have no sense of humor about such things.

Liberals don’t like genders because there is a stigma against sodomy and their pedophiles don’t want to be told they sodomized a boy.

Interesting you mention GA Southern. I was going to post that I went to college with a girl named Michael Ann, and I always thought that was weird. That college was, in fact, GA Southern.

I had a Drill Instructor named SGT Dicks. Nobody made fun of his name.

Only the even numbers are gender neutral. Think about it...

I’m a Boy - The Who

One girl was called Jean Marie
Another little girl was called Felicity
Another little girl was Sally Joy
The other was me, and I’m a boy.

My name is Bill, and I’m a head case
They practice making up on my face
Yeah, I feel lucky if I get trousers to wear
Spend evenings taking hairpins from my hair

I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But my ma won’t admit it
I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But if I say I am, I get it

Put your frock on, Jean Marie
Plait your hair, Felicity
Paint your nails, little Sally Joy
Put this wig on, little boy

I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But my ma won’t admit it
I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But if I say I am, I get it

I wanna play cricket on the green
Ride my bike across the street
Cut myself and see my blood
I wanna come home all covered in mud

I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But my ma won’t admit it
I’m a boy, I’m a boy, I’m a boy
I’m a boy, I’m a boy, I’m a boy, I’m a boy
I’m a boy, I’m a boy
I’m a boy

“FANG”!

Forgot about that one...lol

Since both the mother and her daughter shared the same name and it was male I’m going to venture that his grandmother got the name from another family member as well. Whenever I’ve done background checks and see this phenomenon (mother and daughter sharing the same name) the individuals usually are narcissistic and controlling people. Add to that a male name instead of a female name and it might explain part of the equation of what’s wrong with the current occupant in the WH.

I’m thoroughly convinced the only way to cure liberalism is with a frontal lobotomy. It’s a heinous mental disorder affecting millions; maybe billions of people worldwide.

Scientists should be working on a cure that can be introduced into the water supply to cure these people from this dangerous disease.

I have some bad news for these social justice warrior change-the-culture types. Believe it or not, nearly every one of these children was conceived in (shudders) heterosexual intercourse. No, it's true, I looked it up.

Anyone can change his or her name. No one can change his or her sex any more than his or her species. "Gender" with respect to human beings is a silly fantasy. Children are not playthings, pets, or pieces in a game. I'm done here.

His penis might give him the same impression... what should we do about that?

Today's enlightened parents would dress him in dresses and make his school let him pee in the girls' restroom and when he's 15 go in for t-blocker replacement surgery and later cut the offending penis off so he could feel pretty, oh so pretty and witty and gay.

My simple and smartaleck solution is getting too complex. Let’s do this: pass a federal law that requires all newborns to be given a name traditionally associated with the opposite sex. That would include all names from any ethnic group: K’neisha and Trayvon, Olga and Vladimir, Guadalupe and Luis, etc. Twenty-five years later, require boys to be given boys’ names and girls girls’ names. Twenty-five years later, go back to opposite-sex names. In a couple of generations, you’ll have a good mix of names represented among males and females. People may not like it, but right is right. To make sure there is compliance, a Federal Human Naming-Standards Bureau could be formed and it would have the power, if need be, to assign names.

Excellent idea! They'd need their own SWAT team, of course...

“I heard of a woman named Stanley. We are going to be cleaning up her mess for years to come.”

I wonder if she knew she was carrying demon spawn for nine months.
