I was just looking for a playhouse for DD and came across this. It has left me raging. www.mothercare.com/Mothercare-Boys-Garage-Playhouse/dp/B001BX00LY?extid=google_product_extensions

In John Lewis the other day I was horrified to see that the toddler books were divided into 'girls' and 'boys' (obviously the boys' section had all the exciting, adventure-based, transport-related books, and the girls' section had princessy pink stuff).

What hope is there when this is what we're up against?

It's the same with facepainting now too. Chioces are divided into boys (monsters etc) and girls (fing butterflies etc).

The playhouse doesn't worry me as much as dividing the books does. That's outrageous. Do all branches of John Lewis do that?
