Just last year, Target no longer listed specific toys as being for boys or girls. I wonder if McDonald's will eventually do the same thing. Instead of asking "For a boy or a girl?" when a parent orders a happy meal they'll ask for example "Hotwheels or Barbie?".
That's a very good thing. Let the kids play with the toys that appeal to them.
I was a girl who would most definitely have picked the Hotwheels. Toy cars and plushies were my favorites.
We went to Legoland when I was a kid, and we visited the Wild West part of it where we could get dressed up in era type clothes. I drooled after cowboy shirts and boots which I thought (and think) are cool, but the biatch that brought us clothes paid no attention to my protests and I was put in godawful dress which I hated. I didn't (and don't) wear that kind of clothes. We were photographed there by staff and I have the most sour expression on my face. I looked every bit as "happy" as I was.
That was obviously about clothes and not toys, but it's part of the same argument. Backwards BS!
