Dad's Second- Guessing His Choice After Wife Disapproves Of Their Daughter's Clothes And Upsets Her

We all grow up being told that the clothes we wear reflect our gender. Society teaches us that skirts, butterflies, and rainbows are for girls. And no matter what our girls have in mind, wearing boys' clothes is not appropriate. It's not something unfamiliar to see parents want their daughter to wear more girly clothes. However, they should understand that choosing what to wear must be their daughter's decision, not theirs.
This dad, known as Drill_Cop23 on Reddit, is doubting his decision to let his girl shop in the boy's clothing section. As he explained, his daughter loved to wear sweatshirts and gym pants. So when she couldn't find anything suit her in the girl's section, dad suggested that she could try the boy's clothes. And she did find something. However, when they two got home, mom seemed not to like the boy's clothes, and that started a fight between them.
