Boys WILL be boys

DEPARTMENT store John Lewis says it is to stop using boys and girls labels so as not to reinforce gender stereotypes (Mail).

I will not shop there again if it persists in the ludicrous idea that there is no distinction between male and female children.

The store appears to have succumbed to the relentless pressure that suggests we can choose our gender. But gender is not a feeling or something that transcends biology: it is something you are born with.

I implore other retailers not to confuse our children with such idiotic and morally wrong notions of political correctness.
