My daughter loves Spiderman and some of the boys used to tell her she couldn't because she was a girl. We let her pick her own colors, we let her decide what sports she wants. We don't force girly stuff on her, she has a couple of Tomboy friends.
I think the parents are idiots or they're looking for a reality show deal. I'm actually more concerned with the unschooling. .
