Life lesson for son
I think the three year old should wear whatever outfit he wants, afterall it is hallowen, otherwise the purpose of halloween is defeated. He should experiment with things without being judge because he's at that stage. He's not consciously aware of his choice of being a princess and taking on astributes of a princess. This is just what Mr.Deardrorff was stating, that boys don't have cultural permission to wear what they want. Why is it girls can dress up as male figures without being made fun of. This relates to how society has place certain characteristics as being male or female. For instance woman are supposedly independent, gullible and moody, while guys are self-reliant, assertive, and ambitious. This is rediculous because we're in the 21st century where woman are equally as ambitious as men and some men are intimedated by our strengths . We're being pressured into taking on roles that society has branded us with. Why is that? Why can't we be ourselfs without being analyzed and criticed? It seems like no matter what a person do they're always going to be put in some type of category. It's enevitable and sadly, that's life.

I like how you state that being something you're not is the point of Halloween. I had not thought of it this way, which makes me wonder what the big deal is then.
