When J. Crew’s creative director Jenna Lyons featured a photograph of herself painting her son Beckett’s toenails pink on the
company’s site, little did she know it would
set off a conservative culture war. "Lucky for me I ended up with a boy whose favorite color is pink,” Lyons wrote. “Toenail painting is way more fun in neon." But the seemingly sweet act had Fox News contributor Dr. Keith Ablow seeing red. "This is a dramatic example of the way that our culture is being encouraged to abandon all trappings of gender identity,"
Dr. Ablow said in an editorial. Erin Brown, at the Media Research Center, went further,
writing that the image was “blatant propaganda celebrating transgendered children.” Lyons took the high road, refusing to be dragged into the fight.
