Well, apparently some people here think it's imperative that hospitals start the gender identity right away, by dressing babies in pink or blue , for their protection, health and safety.
If you think dressing a newborn in pink or blue is critical to its health and welfare, you've got another thing coming!
Why would anyone care whether any particular newborn in a hospital nursery is a boy or a girl?

Women wants to be treated equally yet they expect men to do all the heavy lifting and to give women priority.

Curious Annee, if my memory serves me right you consider yourself a pagan. Now if you took time to go through that entire article and all of the pictures you would have had to seen some dark stuff. So do you agree that it is on the dark side of human nature to dress small children in those ways, or do you fall more in the idea that the parents are ok doing that to their children if they choose to do so?

I'm atheist.
Pagan basically means "of the earth/farmers". It was meant as an insult by the "good" Christians inside the acceptable society city walls.
Pagan -- of the earth -- festivals are about Life -- Death -- Birth -- Harvest (food).
Not really sure what you're reading into it.
I like the clothes.

This expression (Heb., ʽam ha·ʼaʹrets, with its plural forms) occurs 75 times in the Hebrew text. In Jesus’ day it was employed by the religious leaders as a term of contempt, but originally this was not the case. ...originally, the expression was one of respect. It did not apply only to a lowly class or those of the poorer element.
...
As a Term of Contempt. In course of time, however, the religious leaders of Judah began to use the term to designate those persons, Jewish or non-Jewish, who were unlearned in the Law and more particularly those who were ignorant of or who failed to observe in detail the great body of rabbinic traditions that now developed. (Mt 15:1, 2)
...
Thus the sense of ʽam ha·ʼaʹrets changed from one of general respect to one of religious opprobrium, much as the Latin term paganus, from which the English word “pagan” is derived. Pagan originally meant simply a dweller in a rural community, but since those country people were often the last to be converted, it came to be used by city dwellers as applying to all who did not adopt their professed Christian beliefs. In a similar way the term “heathen” at first meant simply one who lived out on the “heath” or field.
... In her desire to win pagan hearts, the church therefore did not adhere to the truth. She justified the practice of syncretism, the absorption of heathen beliefs and practices “dear to the masses.” The result was a hybrid, apostate church, far removed from the teachings of true Christianity. ...
“LOOK out,” wrote the apostle Paul to Christians living in the latter half of the first century C.E. What was he warning against? “Perhaps there may be someone who will carry you off as his prey through the philosophy and empty deception according to the tradition of men.”—Colossians 2:8.
Despite Paul’s warning, from the middle of the second century C.E., some Christians began using concepts borrowed from ancient philosophers in order to explain their beliefs. Why? They wanted to be accepted by the educated people of the Roman Empire and thus make more converts.
...
What is the origin of the myth? ...

They are newborn babies so to me, you need to know which baby is what sex and where to put them in the room, otherwise like I said already, the nurses will have to take a peek every day. Ok, you can have name tags I guess and they probably do but I'm just assuming name tags and colour makes things easier.

You have got to be a real psycho to make your kid go with these clothes.
A big "HO!" on a little girl's shirt? Hand print?
Tell me more about respecting women you lousy hypocrites. Go on and dress your kid with that.
This thing makes vagina hats look sane and normal.
