Teaching gender equality is good. But teaching your kid that there's no difference between male and female is just plain stupid and a little dangerous.

If he was my son I might let him wear kilts, but not to school. I'd explain the differences between genders while instilling the value each gender has. Equal but different. Boys aren't better than girls, but boys are different from girls and vice versa.

Seems like a logic leap to me to say that he's not teaching his kid the difference between males and females, all he's doing is letting his son where the clothes he likes and supporting him in that by doing it as well.  Wasn't that long ago that it was perfectly normal for young boys to wear dresses up to a certain age.  Wearing a dress does not define the female gender, so letting your boy wear one doesn't necessarily mean you can't teach them the real meaningful differences between the genders.

The article says he is teaching his kid gender equality. It's a terrible movement that has parents given their kids gender neutral names and hiding their gender from family and friends.

Our species has two sexes for a reason. We have similar but different bodies. Gender roles aren't bad by nature. If something isn't fair then fight it, but don't try to change human nature.

If men really want to wear a skirt they can wear a perfectly acceptable kilt. If a kilt isn't enough than it's not the dress they like, it's the girly aesthetic.
