Some girls like superheroes, some girls like princesses.

This is plastered all over the feminist sphere, but here too? Just fuck off.

Idk why this is such an amazing thing. Then just go to the superhero section. I like having things organized into boys/girls toys. It makes things easier to find what you are looking for. If you want something out of your gender, then just go and get it in the other section for God's sake.

How is this special treatment for women somehow turned into "girls are victims" again? The fact that girls get specialty ware, specifically marketed to them(even capitalizing on a socially encouraged female predisposition towards alienating/excluding men), is actually a pretty blatant example of explicit sexism towards men(just like the "Dr. pepper just for men" is an example of explicit sexism towards women).

Not only are women given a status of "royalty" over men in their roles as consumers(something which is also heavily played upon in the selection of toys itself; i.e. teaching girls to be entitled princesses, as opposed to teaching boys to be dispensable and self-sacrificing peons) but also given far more freedom in their overall selection of toys as well(an example of very rigid gender roles and standards of masculinity being forced onto boys).

In a way, I really feel sorry for this little girl for being completely brain-washed, at far too young of an age, into a very clear form of feminist bias and indoctrination. Rather than teaching her to think critically or see this issue from a gender neutral stance, she is being taught to see it in an explicitly female-centric way.
