MstrBeau posted the Daily Show link on his Facebook page. Here was my response:
I had a bunch of coworkers talking about how men wearing high heels can be a really confusing environment to raise kids in. I asked if they thought our founding fathers, Ben Franklin, John Adams, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, et. ...al. were good fathers who instilled good values to their children. They all agreed that they thought so. Then I mentioned that heeled shoes were actually invented by men, for men, which my coworkers would not believe and insisted that any man who wore heels was just wrong. Then I Googled a picture of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and pointed out that not only were all the men wearing heels, but they were wearing tights and wigs, and many of them were wearing corsets (girdles) as well. I would say I think our country turned out well, but not based on the newscasts Stewart is making fun of.
By the way, I wore a skirt to my wedding. Which, skirts were invented by men, for men, and 60% of the men in the world wear skirts as a matter of course.
As for boys and the color pink, here's what Wikipedia has to say: "In Western culture, the practice of assigning pink to an individual gender began in the 1920s or earlier. From then until the 1940s, pink was considered appropriate for boys because being related to red it was the more masculine and decided color, while blue was considered appropriate for girls because it was the more delicate and dainty color, or related to the Virgin Mary. Since the 1940s, the societal norm was inverted; pink became considered appropriate for girls and blue appropriate for boys, a practice that has continued into the 21st century."
