193922, i am sure that kid can ramp up or tone down his mannerisms. Posted by Joe Corn Mo, Mon Nov-03-14 12:25 PM
most ppl are capable of code switching, to a degree. most of it we learn naturally, some of it we learn intentionally.
i doubt he is wearing those clothes and using those vocal inflections and mannerisms because he doesn't know how to be "str8 acting"/ "masculine" etc.
so that means he's doing that either because he feels more comfortable that way, or because he wishes to use his language, speech patterns, and clothing to assert his identity within a subculture, and he's saying "fuck you" to anybody that has a problem with it.
so as a father, i'd have a choice to make. i can either express my wish that my son was more masculine. (and tbh, there is a part of me that would) or, i can get the fuck over myself and just let my kid do him.
i pick option 2.
