Misogynistic Marketing

What are you buying your sons and grandsons for Christmas?

 

Do you think some boys toys are marketed to exclude girls?

The argument is NOT  that kids should only be given  toys that are perceived as gender neutral, but that. ALL  toys should be perceived (and marketed) as gender neutral.

Listened to this - this afternoon.

 

What a heap of coddswallop - growing up I got a girls bike - no bar - for a skirt.

 

Wouldn't matter now don't own a skirt.

 

Never played with dolls - nor did my brother.

 

If a young man wants a Barbie - hey it's Christmas.

 

All too politically incorrect.

 

Manhole - now Person hole.

 

Man Eating Tiger - doesn't like girls.

I have two grandsons.

 

The youngest (7yo)  is getting a handcrafted wooden china buffet

display cabinet (child size) and a tea set to display in it.

Does it REALLY matter in the big scheme of things ?

 

Are dolls marketed to exclude boys ???????

 

Much more important things to worry about like starvation, homelessness, etc etc.

 

Too much PC BS in this world, pushed by people who can't make it themselves.

Re: Misogynistic Marketing

My daughter is looking at buying a house, and she was somewhat bemused to see that the house was advertised as having "a beautiful hostess kitchen".   Presumably the man of the house does no cooking and is sitting in his retreat/man cave waiting for the missus to make dinner.

Mind you, the RE Agent was "The Real Estate Lady", so that description was not entirely unexpected.
