That...is certainly interesting. Two comments got my attention:
One:
"'Child-rearing should not be about providing an opportunity to prove an ideological point, but about responding to each child’s needs as an individual,' Pinker tells The Local.
That I would agree with. You have to wonder about the parents' motives. Well..they says their motives are based in "feminist philosophy", which makes you wonder if they're trying to make a point or really trying to provide the best upbringing possible for their child.
Two:
"'Girls are told they are cute in their dresses, and boys are told they are cool with their car toys. But if you give them no gender they will be seen more as a human or not a stereotype as a boy or girl.'"
Of course, I guess that's the ideal. No one wants to be seen as male or female FIRST, and a human being second. It's a nice dream...but I don't think it's particularly realistic in society (though there are some cultures that are FAR less concerned with gender than "western" society).
A very interesting sociological experiment, but I think there's a point where you have to put your punk rock idealism to rest and accept that ANYTHING you do to make your child vastly different from her or his peers will have a very long-lasting and potentially negative affect on them. I think life is hard enough as it is... I'm not a conformist by any means, but I can only see difficulty in this kid's future. This family doesn't live in a bubble of gender-free equality. They live in the real world.
I don't think this will work.
