I really thought we were past this.
Yes, if you go into a store, all the GI Joes will be in one aisle and all the dolls in another aisle. Okay, whatever. Yesterday, however, we were walking through the local walmart and as we walked past the toy section I noticed that the aisles were actually LABELED "Boys" and "Girls." My jaw dropped and I just stared for a few moments while complaining loudly to Chris. I wish I'd had my camera, I'd've taken some pictures. How absurd is that?!

It was hard enough to put up with the stares I got as a boy for hanging out in the My Pretty Pony section.
ReplyDeleteThis just seems deliberately cruel, but you see it all the time these days, as parents try to enforce standards of masculinity and femininity at earlier and earlier ages.
