It was a black baby doll, apparently hanging from a shelf with a white loop around its neck. The imagery of the noose is connected to the history of lynching in the U.S., particularly in the South after the Civil War, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

“Raising Baby Grey” Explores the World of Gender-Neutral Parenting

A cursory look at some popular themes for the recent phenomenon of gender-reveal parties—"wheels or heels," "touchdowns or tutus," "bows or arrows"—makes it difficult to deny that boys and girls are funnelled into a gender binary that can be almost comically rigid. The first piece of information parents tend to receive about who their child will be—often, as with the gender-reveal crowd, before birth—is the shape of the child's genitals. This moment of discovery can mark the beginning of a lifelong process of gender socialization. For some parents, the desire to know and influence their child's identity starts when a doctor determines the child's sex. Even parents who want to avoid limiting a child's possibilities cannot remove their child from a world in which clothes, toys, and playmates are divided, in many contexts, according to gender.

Almanzo Wilder — spoiler alert, he's Laura's future husband — embarks on a dangerous expedition to bring back wheat that saves them from starvation.

This week, Marcus apparently looked up "reality show game play" on Google and decided that he was going to "mastermind" — his words — the situation to ensure that his biggest competition would get sent home. Except it didn't really work, and now the doc and two others are in Kristy's Final 3. Read on for the highlights of "You've Got Babies." At 2:27 am, Kristy is woken up by the sound of a baby crying in her living room. She comes out to find Kristin Davis there, ready to hand her a doll designed to act and sound like a newborn. "I didn't exactly have time to prepare for this," Kristy interviews, cradling the kid — but you had time to do full makeup? Just wondering — "but I'm hoping I'll catch on quickly....
