most people don't allow their boys to "play with dolls" - unless they're an "action figure" like a GI JOE designed to kill people, or a Superhero (designed to kill people), or a "Wrestler" (wtf is up with that anyway?) The best ones were the RESCUE HEROES but I don't see them around anymore.


Left to their own devices and choices, boys will "play with dolls" for quite some time.


My younger son was banned by his preschool from playing in the "living section" of the room. Boys were supposed to play with blocks and trucks! Not play dress up, pretend to cook, and take care of the baby. I spoke with the teacher, I spoke with the director. He was "discouraged" but no longer "banned". He was "discouraged" from playing with girls in the classroom or on the playground. I removed him from the preschool.
