Amazon drops gendered listings for toys

[MissOutstanding]

I hadn't spotted this one before what with all the election outrage

www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/amazon-drops-gendered-listings-for-toys-customers-can-no-longer-search-for-items-for-boys-and-girls-10232753.html

I made the mistake of looking at the comments

Wow, the comments are something else

I don't understand why the people who usually shout the loudest against removing boy/girl labels are the ones who think preferences are innate. I've heard it said that it will confuse the children but surely if gendered preferences are innate, labels aren't necessary.

Oh, good!

That's good news after a bad news week. I shan't bother to read the comments....

Saw this belatedly. Good! Not bothering to look at the comments.

Unfortunately you can still type 'girls toys' into the search box and get a bunch of pink glittery crap or type in 'boys toys' and get a load of science stuff. It's really fucking depressing.
