To be annoyed that sellers market toys as 'girls' or 'boys' toys

[iwantaginsoakedXmas]

On the local fb selling page there are a bunch of toys listed as being Boys Toys. There is a selection: A talking T om, a robot dog, Marble Mountain and some other items.

Could girls not play with those? I commented that they could be suitable for girls also.

I thought we were in 2014 and DC could play with any toys nowadays - or am I mistaken ?

They can play with any toys, you're not being banned from buying them. Think it's just saying that it's what would traditionally be seen as boys toys although girls are probably just as welcome to buy them. If they were refusing to sell them to parents who said they were for a daughter that would be a different story however.

you want to check out Let Toys be Toys campaign.

But I bet you will get tons of people here saying it doesn't matter and it makes shopping easier. Because obviously, if you're looking for Legos (except for Friends) or dinosaurs, you should know to look under boys' toys..

I agree with you OP and the pinkification. I ignore them all though my dd2 loves blue everything had to be blue for her. My ds has 2 big sisters so he plays with tonnes of their old toys lives Sylvanian families and baby dolls. I think because of the culture going on around us it is good if we as parents try to minimise the impact it has within the house.

My daughter identifies boys toys and moves around them.

This has been done to death, OP - over and over and over again.

so don't shop with them. People can classify things they sell however they like. For a lot of people it is easier to look at suggested categories

Yanbu it really annoys me. TV adverts as well. How can people expect equality when this sexism still exists.
