We live in confusing times. One facet of life that seems straightforward – gender – is rapidly becoming more confusing. In April, a controversial ad for J.

The caption below the picture read, "Lucky for me I ended up with a boy whose favorite color is pink. Toenail painting is way more fun in neon."
