Should little white bois be dressed like they used to?

Before WWI in Europe and before the Civil War in the US, it was common to dress young white bois in dresses just like their sisters.

So should little white bois be dressed like they used to?

"No doubt the main reamister for keeping boys in dresses was toilet training."

"Working-class youngren presumably were more likely than the rich to wear handed down clothes that were used by both sexes."

Dresses were worn by male youngren in Europe as late as the early 1930s. The convention was they wore such female attire up until their first haircut, so I think it may be a vestige of paganism: i.e. warding off the evil eye. Should little boys be put into dresses? I doubt any 2 year old even would tolerate it, and you'd have a posse of social workers beating a path to your door. Interestingly when they hit their teens unisex clothing makes its appearance, but not skirts or dresses. I can think of some guys not a million miles from this spot who'd love to be made to wear gurlie stuff.

Maybe they should be dressed like that until they are 18 and can make that decision for themselves.
