Sure I would. My son played with dolls when he was young. Mostly Playmobil figures but a Barbie and her friends jumped in now and then.
Why wouldn't i. If my son wants a doll to play with so be it. I'd rather he has a doll then a bunch of swords and guns.
My sons played with their sisters dolls and she played with their cars and soldiers..whats the harm in it....they have all grown into well balanced adults so I don't see the harm in allowing boys and girls to play with each others toys. Im not sure if I would be too pleased if my son baught a doll of his own but I see no harm in boys playing with dolls.
To me it would really be a preference, depending on how conservative your home is. I think I would allow a Ken Doll But a barbie may be a bit much. It might also depend on how he is going to play with it, if he is going to put it in the mud or run it over with a car, or if he is going dress it up and do it's hair.
Interesting because my first reaction to this was hell no. But I don't have any children so what do I know.
If I had kids sure I would my mum bought me a barbie doll when I was young, I'm actually beginning to write my book on life (bits in blogs to see a reaction) I talk about having my barbie in my latest blog. But I'm transgender (not all boys who want a barbie are don't worry) but yeah of course id buy my son a Barbie :P hope that helped.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
