Teen Girl Campaigns for Gender Neutral Toy Marketing

Me and my cousin (both males) played with fake kitchen equipment as children. You might not find an easy bake oven in more boyish colors, but there are plenty of other toys. Also, one of my favorite colors is purple and I would see no problem with a boy having a purple easy bake oven. It's the color of royalty. What's manlier than royal brownies?

I guess if there were such a thing as neutral genders it would make sense. Of course in realityland that's not the case.

Some thoughts.

Pink wasn’t always considered a feminine colour and blue wasn’t always masculine.

Also, let's consider Samurai warriors - incredible hard bastards wandering around carrying the equivalent of a 3 foot razor blade following an uncompromising warrior code... who also wore a range of pastel-coloured silk robes covered in pretty flowers, and arranged flowers as a serious hobby!

Everything gender neutral? Seems extreme to me considering the research done showing boys and girls playing with different toys on their own in different ways.

An awesome looking easy bake set that is not pink and flowery? That would be pretty sweet. I would have loved one of those. That being said I learned to cook through scouting in the woods, good times.

Am I the only one that notices that there's never any effort to get girls to play with nerf guns, action figures, and the like? Why is the advocacy so one-directional? She even acknowledged that she recieved some flak for being tomboyish.

Pretty sure this story was already posted a few weeks ago.

The real question is:

Why do women (and more disturbingly, young girls) think they have the right to determine (or even care) which toys young boys are playing with?

But the genders ARE different. Forcing children to act like the exact opposite of there biological self can only fuck them up in the head.
