What are you buying your sons and grandsons for Christmas?

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

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.

Power tools, so yeah, they are probably marketed mainly at blokes 🙂

Don't have grandies of any variety 😞

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.

'no gender december'.

your bath crayons look safe enough.

might have to get those for g/kiddies.

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.
