| It seems there are lots of cases across the board where "women adopt traditionally male thing" has become the norm in this timeframe but not many where "men adopt traditionally female thing" at quite the same rate or scale. |

| I think there's something to this, but also you've got to think about the cultural standards where "female" is considered "abnormal". e.g. you have "toys" and "girl toys". "clothes" and "girl clothes" and such. It's not everywhere or everything but there is a trend. |

| ▲ | setopt 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Women used to be arrested for wearing pants many places, and still kept doing it until it was normal and legal. I don’t think straight men had the same motivation to push for the right to wear skirts; if they did that would be normal too. | | | |

| That is the pattern. Rarely would you have a baby boy using a women's name. Broadly speaking there is a general stigma within society going the other direction then women adopting male things. |

| A baby does not "adopt" their name, though. It is given to them. |
