Wow, I can't believe all that devolved from a subject line.
Since my nephew was born and I started paying attention, I've developed a big problem with little kids' clothes. It seems the little boys are all stuck with lumberjack and/or jock drag and the little girls get stuck with princess/babydoll fluffy poodle drag. It's even signaled in their *clothes* that boys are active, girls are pretty objects...which is just crazy to me when all of them are going to be equally grubby, drooling little messes. On the bright side, any of the little boys who'll grow up to be bears and/or actual lumberjacks have the opportunity to be well-versed in appropriate fashion from a young age.
In any case, so a hat like this? It wouldn't even register for me that it may have been manufactured with one gender or the other in mind. It doesn't have a real or imagined sports team *or* gaggy pink maribu on it.
