The blogosphere has been aflutter over young Shiloh’s, predilection for boys’ clothes since Life and Style broke a cutting report on her shocking deviation from culturally proscribed norms. “Why is Angelina Turning Shiloh Into a Boy?” ran last week’s headline. Actually, Angelina isn’t dressing any kids these days. She has been talking about Shiloh’s style a lot, but that’s because she’s working, doing the promo circuit for Salt. It’s currently Brad’s turn to style the kids’ faux-hawks and suit them in miniature motorcycle jackets. But thank you, Life and Style for reminding us that if our world becomes flooded with short haired-women in polo shirts, we’ll know to put the blame squarely on mothers.

There’s more:

When Brad Pitt was spotted in Paris on Feb. 23, it looked like he and Angelina Jolie had adopted a new child -- an adorable blond boy. Instead, it was the couple's 3-year-old daughter, Shiloh, sporting boys' clothes and a new haircut so shockingly short it immediately ignited a firestorm of controversy.

That’s right, a firestorm of controversy, one that extended all the way to the super-conservative think tank Focus on the Family. Here’s what Glenn Stanton, director of Family Formation Studies at FoF told Life and Style:

Little girls have never been women before. They need help, they need guidance of what that looks like. It's important to teach our children that gender distinction is very healthy.

Just think what might happen if Angelina continues allowing her daughter to forge her own path towards self identity. One day Shiloh may grow into a pants-wearing, punk-ass tomboy, maybe even a lesbian, and our collective heteronormative dreams for the girl will be shot to hell. Now who’s going to marry Brooklyn Beckham and produce the next generation of celebrity superchildren? It looks like this is a firestorm that will smolder for years to come.
