My guess is that most parents who do the 'my child can make up his own mind on this' at an early age are the ones who's kids will be pretty useless and posting about how their life sucks somehow on a future TFP.
I know 4 kids a bit younger or my age raised this way by 2 different sets of parents.
3 of them are children of a multi-millionaire, the other is the child of perhaps the most brilliant and hard working man I've met.
The 3 are all barely working, sponging off dad as best they can get, and the one works as a DJ, completely sleeved tatoo wise, at 36. All are nice guys but won't amount to anything. And before someone gets on the 'amounts to anything' band wagon, when you have a lot of potential (all of them are quite intelligent) but no motivation, no discipline, no drive beyond what feels good, it sad to see such a man stumble through life, and I blame the parents in both cases.
There are fights to fight but fighting society on male/female clothing is a pretty stupid one.
