This whole thing has been way overblown. Bullying is wrong. Also, my little pony is for girls. The mom just wants attention. She could have just told her son to get a boys backpack. If you are going to wear my little pony to school you are going to get teased. That is reality.
My Little Pony is for girls? Please explain how you can claim such an ignorant fact. I bet you also feel colors are also confined to gender.
I bet you also feel if a woman wasn’t wearing a revealing shirt she wouldn’t get raped. The problem with your opinion is that it is absolutely wrong.
