Boys and girls and their toys, anyone else see a problem?
As soon as kids began to walk, dolls and toy strollers are shoved in girls faces and cars and toys of strength are put before boys. As a kid I threw the dolls away and wanted my brothers race cars and sets and told by dad to go and get my doll. today that is still true. We are groomed for looking pretty and being perfect for our men. there a website little girls love called missbimbo. toys haven’t changed, only the package it comes in.
You’re absolutely right. However I don’t think the toys will ever change, they will always be made to be aimed at a specific gender and along with those come the stereotypes about the role the person playing with them will have.
I think more parents/gift givers need to be less afraid about being gender specific about what toys their kids play with.
How kids interact with toys tells you alot about there little personalities.
