Still, gender-neutral tends to mean that girls can do what boys do. On Halloween, there will probably be more girls as Captain America than boys as Elsa the Disney princess, just as more women become business executives than men become preschool teachers.

Liberal women harbor a desire to feminize and emasculate boys.

the day will come when all this gender-crapola is ridiculed for the joke it is, and I cannot wait!

My 15 year old went to his party as a red dragon.

Liberalism is so yesterday.

My grandchildren selected their own costumes. Granddaughter, 4, chose a cupcake costume. Grandson, 7, came over for the morning in a lab coat, and was a knight for his Trick or Treating.

Our granddaughter who will be three in Janurary, decided to dress up as Fawn, a fairy that takes care of little animals. It was a choice entirely concistand with her character ( very gentle with her cat and our dog, both of whom are crazy about her). That’s a free and natural choice for her and not do to any indoctrination by parents or grandparents. She is very comfortable with her gender without any force or indoctrination. It’s the way of nature.

One of my two boys (they’re twins, age eight) really loves to pretend to be a cat. (He’s very good at imitating voices and sounds — I think he just likes the sound of it when he mews! LOL!) But he never looked at being a cat for Halloween. (My guys were Doctor Who for Halloween this year — the 11th and 12th doctors.) I’ll have to ask him if he thinks boys can be cats for Halloween. Will be interesting to hear what this homeschooled boy says....

So what. Sales folks know who buys what. Is victoria secret sexist for marketing to just women? Is Curves?

Good grief. Pc folks heed to go to hell forever.

Oh the horrors.. traditional costumes for the kids. How abhorrent.

We handed out candy to more than 40 trick-or-treaters as only one appeared to be dressed as Hillary Clinton, but when she came closer she was simply a fat zombie.

Just the other day I was walking through my local Wal*Mart and noticed a section near the toys that had a big sign labelling that section "Girls".

I wondered to myself how soon that sign will be taken down just for the reasons in this article.

It gets worse before it gets better.

My 7 year old grandson chose his own fortune.

He went as George W Bush and yelled “Vote Republican” instead of trick or treat.

Sigh...he’s in the right church but wrong pew.

Make your own costumes! That gives you some quality time with the kids, new skills can be taught, imagination can be stimulated, and you don’t have confined to the sad selection of commercial junk.

Here is a costume I made a few years back to attend an adult halloween party.

It was fun to make, and I was quite proud of it. I integrated an old hockey helmet inside to support the weight, had little battery fans to suck in fresh air and expel stale air, and old video camera inside looking the "lens" so I could see where I was going.

I could take video through the lens so I could record what I was seeing, and when I hit the remote record button to record, a little light on the outside above the lens would light up.

Problem was, the party environment was not well suited to costume. The party was in what looked like catacombs (really) in the cellar of this guy's house, and there was smoke, and I was bumping into everything. Seeing where I was going in the red lights and smoke was nearly impossible.

So I eventually had to switch to a backup costume of an old man mask and hat.
