Wages are flat to going down, and car prices keep climbing! This seems like a winning consumer strategy!! It’s not like consumers have choices about what to buy! GO TEAM!

Sorry, I’m still not seeing it. If I name my son ‘James.’ Aren’t I already ‘forcing’ him into a gender role? And I am not sure where you’re shopping, but most ‘neutral’ things are in fact, male.
I think you’re misreading the OP’s post, and missing my point. Babies are born and you need to get them clothes. Those clothes are often representative of a certain sex. When you buy them toys, they usually have a specific connotation. Buying tiara or a basketball hoop denotes a choice in one direction or another,…
This is a pointless debate. You can’t exist in a society without more or less falling into a role. Do we dress our children in burlap sacks? If I hand the baby a soccer ball am I expecting him or her to be a jock? It doesn’t matter what gender they are, once I offer them that ball I’m “guiding their belief.”
If this is an actual article, that’s fine, send it to this author’s editor with a post-it.
There’s an entire spectrum of “sexualization” that ranges from harmless to, “creepy”. You could easily argue that putting male clothing on a baby is “sexualizing” them. If someone is making an assertion that saying a baby is a “flirt” causes them harm, I want you to back it up. Saying “the baby is never going to…
No one asked for exhaustively anything. And as I said, I’m not opposed to the importance of this topic. But as a reader, a single piece of supporting documentation isn’t a tall ask. I think HamNo is right most of the time, but even his unhinged rants usually reference some kind of data, research, article, or something.
Not opposed to the idea that this is important, but some, or any supporting documentation, studies, scientific observations, or qualified opinions in the article might give it a little weight. I realize I can probably Google this, but ?????
I sort of agree with the OP here Tom, and I’m a fan here, but I think this is also rooted in the sorry state of middle class wages. I know that makes it a bigger discussion maybe not appropriate here, but I see these things and I feel like we are arguing about why the bacon is burning but it’s not the pan that’s too…
Poll after poll also shows a lack of interest in the Latino voter base in key districts (or states - I’m looking at you Texas). So it seems a bit shortsighted.
Nazis said the same thing.
Stop feeding the trolls.
I call bullshit, that thing looks like it’s suspended on wires.
Do you hate America?
Do you hate interstate highways?
400 dollar pulley system for the supercharger and that bad boy was doing north of 420 HP. Plus I feel like the R170 platform has aged better than the R171. I drive a 911 and sometimes I regret selling my SLK32.

I think we will see that 15 an hour hike. Amazon made the right move for them, it puts off inevitable labor organization. But you’re right, it isn’t enough. Not for most major metro areas.
Wages would have to grow in china to the point where it could support mass goods at a quality that the US consumes, and that simply isn’t the case. It also isn’t the way China wants it. They’re not ready yet to turn from a manufacturing economy to a consumption and management economy. I’m sure a few US corporations…
