Absolute horseshit. Now, forbidding a boy from ever touching a Barbie, for fear of reprisals if he does, is going too far. Likewise punishing a girl for ever once laying her hands on a GI Joe.
But to be so filled with seething hatred for the idea of children being gender-binary, that you try to pass laws in your region to make it illegal for toy stores to put boys' toys and girls' toys in separate aisles is not only insanely petty, it's diabolical!
Stores are then required to dramatically and adversely alter their entire planograms, just to accommodate some nutter's insane hatred for God's biological design. Potentially millions of dollars of money, and countless hours of time, wasted, because some adult imbecile is butthurt that GI Joe and Barbie are in separate aisles!
Such loonies used to be burned at the stake, right along with witches. And madness like that is a testament as to why that was once upon a time deemed a socially acceptable thing to do to someone.
If a child feels "harmed" because GI Joe and Barbie are in separate aisles, then their parenting is sus, and that issue of who the parents are needs to be addressed first.
If the "parents" are anything like that creep groomer bitch at Disney+ that started a war with DeSantis over the fact that he got tired of schools handing over kids to pedophiles and did something about it, then that is what family courts *should* exist for. Not for kidnapping young women and handing over their kids to some weirdo, then making an obscene profit, while labeling HER a criminal if she tries to stand up for her rights! But of course, family courts care more about money than literally anything else, and will destroy children and families in a heartbeat if they deem it more profitable than defending them. They will sacrifice kids on the altar of Mammon, and not even flinch!
But nooooo... let's get butthurt that GI Joe and Barbie are in separate aisles! This is is why, if Russia does decide to nuke us, there are a lot of folks I won't feel any sympathy for. (Assuming I don't die in the explosion.) Frankly, if Putin somehow magically only hit Tide zombies, that would almost qualify him as a hero!
They absolutely do not. here's the thing. If you give chimpanzees choice of toys; male chimps will go for trucks and balls, female chimps will go for dolls, etc. It's ingrained in our evolution.
u No, I don’t believe they do. Children will gravitate towards what they think they would like to play with, if they are fortunate enough to have a large selection to choose from. Or they will play with what’s available to them. I have 4 brothers, so dolls and whatnot were not readily available to me, and when they were, they quickly got their heads pulled off and bodies maimed 😂
I never had any really “girly” toys like kitchen sets or dollhouses, simply because I was never interested in playing with them.
There's not many boys who'll be writing to santa this year for a barbie and if one should get hold of his sisters he'll probably use it as "the victim" in some war game.
You can label toys what you want but boys want to play with boys toys and whoa betide their friend who plays with the doll house.

I think for girls in the year 2022 they do.
Boys, toys are fine because they don't really have much of a problematic underlying message.
Trucks, police officer, racecar driver. These things are mostly about interest and finding your place in the world (in the context of a toddler)
But the girl toys just teach women that their lives is going to be tea parties, making things look pretty and nothing else. Which I think in the new age of women working is seriously setting women up for failure.
Just my opinion as I'm not a developmental psychologist.
I think it's hurtful when a parent tells their little boy to put back a doll, or tease a girl for being a "tomboy" for having an interest in baseball. Parents, teachers and caretakers have all the influence on how their child perceives the world. Encourage them for being open-minded.
If I become a parent, I will never say that something is a "boy" or "girl" thing. And have all sorts of different options regardless of the child's gender. Gender-stereotyping is really a waste of time usually.
No it enhances childhood development and allows teaches them the basic skills there going to need in life, boys trucks plastic army guys and toy guns are a perfect development for the future careers of men, and taking care of dolls and learning how to cook with there easy bake and cleaning up prepares them for being a mother is the futures, women who don’t have kids outside of a medical reason like ovarian cancer and not fulfilling there roles in society and are generally unless as creatures. Franks same with men if men don’t have children and can’t use the construction skills or learning skills to provide for his wife and kids.
yes men and women who don’t reproduce or even adopt are basically parasites in society. And yes that would in club me since I don’t have kids yet.
I think only one way. A boy who is encouraged to play with Barbie, doll houses and tea sets impedes his sexual identity. On the other hand, girls brought up around horses, farm equipment and construction will benefit from it all their lives. It does not discourage womanhood. It strengthens it.
Listen, you cannot deny nature. Women's bodies and minds are designed by millions of years of evolution to bear and raise children and men's bodies and minds are designed to bring home the bacon and protect the family. End of story.
Every single cell in a human beings body is permanently imprinted with either a male or a female signature. That's it. They are NATURALLY interested in different things that prepare them for their gender rolls FROM BIRTH. You CANNOT change your gender. It is physically impossible. You can make believe you are the opposite gender, or some gender that only exists in a fantasy, but you CANNOT change it.
So anything you do to try to force children into denying their natural gender instincts is ANTI-NATURE AND ANTI-CIVILIZATION AND CHILD ABUSE. Leave the fucking kids alone and stop trying to pollute their minds with this sick gender crap you pedos!
Gendered toys are essential for the proper development of children.
The insane campaign by fringe lunatics against gendered toys is part of the Marxist desire to destroy the family as a way to destroy society. See the Communist Manifesto (Marx, 1854).
It is also another example of Marxists’ war against reality.
Anyone who has been around children and raised their own children knows that little boys and girls will gravitate toward gendered toys. It is hard wired into their brains from conception.
Boys will pick up guns and swords.
Girls will pick up dolls and tea sets.
The purpose of play is to prepare the young for their future roles. That is the case with all species, the young of which engage in play. As I wrote this, I was watching kittens stalk, ambush and fight one another.
The Marxists want to fuck up the minds of your children. Do not allow them to do that.
I was a total tomboy as a kid. I played with swords, trucks, action figures, you name it, because my brother did and I followed him around like a duckling and did what he did. I'm not sure what harm if any it did. There are far more things in society that act as additional cues, such as socializing with other children, being taught life lessons from adults, going to school, etc, that really shape and solidify your development. Kids just want to be amused because they're bored. I largely believe it's only when adults start specifying that only you can play with this or that, that kind of screws with kids because they aren't thinking like that...toys are just toys.
You are very right about The Guardian. It is one of the most bias and fringe leftist sources you could of possibly read.
People who push kids to “trans” to a different gender are worse then pedophiles. Seriously.
I didn’t think it would ever be possible to find a crime worse the pedophilia. However the mental trauma of pushing a kid into a different gender can and most likely traumatize a child possibly the rest of their adult lives.
Not in the slightest, if you put a box of mixed toys in a room and placed a boy and girl in there by themselves it is more than likely to play with the toys appropriate to their gender but as time went on it is also likely that they'd play with the other genders toys as well, a large proportion of their play is inside their heads, I've seen my nieces having 'tea parties' with toy trucks, and my nephews doing 'shoot'em up's' with barbies and teddy bears. Toys let children build their own narratives, what those toy happen to be are immaterial to the children at the time, its what fits the story they are building at the time.
I think if a little girl is given only toys for boys, she probably wouldn't like playing with them.
A poll is on GaG today asking the ladies if they are traditionalist or career minded. 67% are traditionalist.
It is best to let the children pick their own toys they want to play with.
I don't even like this question because our children aren't guinea pigs to try experiments on such as this one.
Gee whiz! Can we ever catch a brake on this gender crap?
My cousin lets me borrow his robots, trucks, fake guns, and even games like GTA San Andreas or Counter Strike when I was a kid.
I never thought it was supposed to be for boys only, yet I didn't become a macho while playing them. I think learning different kind of activities like these helps a child's cognitive development. After all, they're still curious about the world and we should introduce it to them.
i played with cars and trucks and dolls, i grew up with only brothers. i played what is considered male driven sports growing up. it did not harm me or confuse me about anything in life. its different if a kid choices to play with those things as opposed to a parent forcing on a kid their own choices. i drive in demolition derbies with men now, no other woman drivers and i am a healthy, hetero functioning adult.
There is an old story of feminists giving barbie dolls (yes it was in the first wave) to the boys and girls The girls played as expected but the boys - are lifting up the dress - decided to pretend they were guns the started hitting each other in the head with the barbies.
Let kids play with what they want and to hell if it is gendered.
Nope they don't, a child up to a certain age will play with everything it gets its hands on. They don't have a sense of what is what. But after that certain age children will use toys that are more leaning to their gender. I used to play with a baby doll when I was young, now I just see it as a silly embarrassing thing.
I did hold it like it was a real baby, but I always held it like a father would.
In the 80s we had replica UZIs, M-16, AK-47 my friend had the belt fed Rambo machine gun. We’d put on camouflage clothes run around the neighborhood pretending to fight Russians.
We never grew up shooting people in reality because we weren’t raised like pussies.
If we as parent direct them correctly, than no! It’s our job to teach our children. I had different toys on my bed, for us to play with, as they grew up! Trucks , dolls animals, etc.. Both my boys grew up, graduated and joined the milt army, and got married.
Of course not. It’s ignorance for anyone to think gender identification is learned. I was a tomboy growing up, all boys toys and sports. It had nothing to do with my sexual orientation. I’ve never been attracted to woman.
I don’t know but if my daughter wants a dinosaur she’s getting a dinosaur 🤷🏻♀️
No they test toys before selling them they already know which toys the boys will like and which toys the girls will like because they test the toys on boys and girls
yes there may be a boy who likes an LOL doll or a girl who likes hot wheels
I played with what I wanted to...
Oddly I remember trying to play with my sister's Toys and feeling bored.
Also it's hard to do fighting games with a barbie in a dress and didn't make sense
