To tell my husband to stop saying this?

I think it's clear there are lots and lots of boys' pjs with cats on. For some reason, OP chose girls' pjs for her son and now complains that her husband doesn't like it.

Have you actually looked at the photograph? You clearly have no idea what hot pants are.

We’re talking about a NINE year old child here. Last time I looked, boys and girls are pretty much straight up and down at this age.

I don’t need to Google ta very much. Perhaps you do … 👍

Sorry but I agree with your husband, hot pants? Really? I wouldn’t allow my daughter to wear pyjamas with shorts like that, never mind a son

It’s about the human figure - female figure can carry more types of clothes but male figure can’t. Best looking man in the world would still look pathetic wearing a dress but an
Average looking lady wearing a 3 piece suit would look cute /cool. These are facts that you can google 👍

Have you never seen a man in a kilt?

You are talking utter crap.

Kilts are tailored for men.

bet You also come along to say but queen Victoria and albert was cousins whenever people say cousin marriage is wrong. 🙄

not heard off exception to the rule? 🤦‍♀️

No. There's somethingin what she says. If you don't educate your son in what society considers gender norms, yes you have met your own woke agenda, but you ate sending your child like a lamb to thr slaughter.
Oh and belt up with the tedious spelling smuggery.You are aware that everyone is auto 'corrected' to fuck!

Key points for your husband to understand:

• He thinks short shorts are ok on little girls but not little boys. That is very, very concerning and he needs to think carefully about whether or not he really means this and let you know if it’s his true opinion or if he’s been caught up in damaging stereotypes and really hasn’t thought it through (you may need to take action if he does really believe that).
• As others have said, gendered clothing (especially at that age when body differences are minimal) can be problematic anyway - while we’re not going to get away from centuries of social norms around this overnight, times are changing. I would suggest to you husband that he might want to reflect on his potentially outdated views of how males and females should dress because there’s no logic to what he says (unless of course he admits to you that he believes women and girls are lesser and exist to be objectified and should therefore have more skin on show - see my first point).
• Regarding concerns about bullying, while bullies will find any and every reason to bully if they want to, I would suggest that the concerns your husband is expressing about what said bullies might hone in on are quite outdated. In my experience as a teacher, one area where most children and young people are now very very accepting and open-minded is around gender and its signifiers, such as clothing. He’s probably basing his judgement on what would’ve happened when he was at school and more retrograde ideas about male and female dressing were around. (Though of course not many other children will see your child in his pyjamas so there’s that hole in his logic that’s also worth pointing out).

Ultimately, the manufacturer labels these as girls’ pyjamas because there’s a whole industry based around categorising clothes based on gender, built upon stereotypes. Your husband needs to try to learn to see beyond that and reflect on his own possibly outdated views.

How’s it bullying to tell him some home truths though? Why set him up to fail? He’s a boy not a girl. Girls clothing does not suit boys.

I work in a school and it’s always white pupils who do this sort of thing. it’s attention seeking . You have no idea how much work is created for staff - paperwork, meetings, safe spaces etc. meanwhile the Asian kids get on with it and no wander there high achievers . I say this as a white lady.

This is such bollocks. He's 8 years old and wearing some pyjamas in his own house. The only thing that says they are for girls is the description. Shorts and a t-shirt aren't gendered, unless one makes them so.

And if you work in a school, you need to improve your spelling.
