I gotta admit it... I was participating in the gender stereotyping. Unwillingly I gotta say. So I was volunteering with the Salvation Army and we were sorting through the toys that will be given out to disadvantaged families on Christmas. We had 2 boxes - girls' toys and boys' toys. Fist, I did not feel like there is a need for separation like that. I rebelled a little but 10 of my team members AND my supervisor shut me up real quick. It was not a surprise that Barbies and pink stuff went into girls box and football and dinosaurs went into boys box... :( I don't understand who said that there should be a division between "feminine" and "masculine" toys. As far as I remember, my favorite toy was a huge truck (thank you mom and dad for not trying to make me a perfect little housewife starting at early age ;)).
Kids are kids, they don't care what to play with. As long as the toy looks amusing its all good.
