To give moms worried about kitchens and boys peace of mind...
My brother is a professional chef. A damn good one.
His ENTIRE life from the time he could coherently talk it's been about food. He was eating Mexican food--enchiladas, the works at 2. Then when he was old enough he told everyone he would be a "big fat baker man" when he grew up! He was always in someone's kitchen baking or cooking.
He never got a "play" kitchen because my mom wanted to encourage him in other ways so he got the real deal. He'd get gourmet cooking ware for Christmas. In HS he got a set of uber expensive knives pro-chef quality.
The kid won't just go home and cook for himself he heads home and makes quail breast in wine reduction--for himself and two roommates. He took Home Ec as well as shop in H.S. he also went to a vocational school during H.S. for culinary arts.
A celebrity chef (Phoenix based not like Emeril) took him under his wing way back in elementary school and helped him land several positions after he graduated. He was running a restaurant in a resort town up here and made a killing.
Did all the focus on the culinary arts make him gay?
Absolutely not. He's the biggest womanizer on the planet. He dresses in Holister and Abercrombie and totally makes himself look like a male model whenever he goes out (around here that's how a certain type of guy impresses the ladies).
He knows about what wine to order with dinner and uses his knowledge of cuisine with the ladies. He only takes them to fancy schmancy restaurants because he knows the food. He gets a lot of action and still does plenty of "manly" things like watch football, geek out over cars, xbox, target practice, etc.
I've just been seeing a lot of play kitchen posts pop up since the holiday season started. Not gay at all. 
You can use him as a case study if you want.
Oh and I don't think there's a damn thing wrong with being gay either--just a stupid argument.

that's pretty much what I got. Why is being a womanizer okay?
Sorry that's what I meant. I was also on the 24+ board last night and there were a few people venting there too.
I didn't mean the moms were worried--more like they bring out the toys they're happy for their boys to play with and then feel bad that family members have to make comments.
I don't necessarily like that my brother is a womanizer--I actually kind of use the term jokingly because he just "plays the field" is that the right term for now a days? LOL. He dates girls who like to just date and vice versa--so rather than bring home a girl for the holidays he's seeing three or four at once but they're seeing three or four too...
Ok so it was a dumb post. My bad.
I'm also totally laughing at this part:
"He was eating Mexican food--enchiladas, the works at 2. "
What do you think kids in Mexico eat when they're two? LOL!
dumb post. dumb post. It made more sense in my head. At least I brought head shakes and snark to the table this evening. More productive than the rest of my afternoon!
Well here there is a certain type of a girl--one my brother is very fond of. The cute, preppy type and the LOVE the boys in abercrombie and hollister.
It's not my bag either--just some ladies, young ladies think it's quite the dish.
Like I said. Dumb post. I posted again to try to bury my shame.
I didn't even post about euthanasia and I spark a debate. I'm kind of impressed!
Lol. DH is not happy with C getting a kitchen either, but when talking to him about it, he said he would rather get him a good quality when he is old enough for pretend play. Its like, wtf do you think its called when he gets a spoon and a pot and sits on the kitchen floor and stirs?

Just my MIL!
Best reply to this ridiculous post.
I got your point-not ridiculous or dumb at all. It's not like a play kitchen would make someone a womanizer either...lol
My DH does almost all of the cooking for us, and I think I'm going to get a play kitchen for DS for Christmas. DH is all for it.
Ha ha...my little brother LOVED cars, never had a toy kitchn, worked at Hollister, wore the clothes, dated ALL the ladies when younger...and is gay.
Sometimes...a person just has to be who they are...and are hopefully happier for it. I'd be fine with my son playing with whatever toys he wants. DD gets to play with the same. Good stuff.
