Most little girls clothes are pink and/or frilly. pnwmom Mar 2021 #4

You must be going to some vastly different stores than I go to Celerity Mar 2021 #5

I changed that right after I wrote it. I still think it's silly to get worked up pnwmom Mar 2021 #6

Just watch Dream Girl Mar 2021 #26

Watch what? I have a daughter and a son. I don't think having a combined department pnwmom Mar 2021 #27

Has any anthropologist ever stumbled upon some culture that didn't have gender stereotypes? Klaralven Mar 2021 #55

Yes, a few earlier Native American tribes. There are a few others, but can't recall them. TheBlackAdder Mar 2021 #58

Really? Men and women equally active in the care and feeding of infants? Klaralven Mar 2021 #60

You can research Native Americn Gender Roles. My books & manuals are all boxed away in storage. TheBlackAdder Mar 2021 #61

I agree. Demsrule86 Mar 2021 #36

It sounds like the article is only saying signs for toys and child care items Victor_c3 Mar 2021 #57

I had two boys, and I always noticed that the girls' clothing section PoindexterOglethorpe Mar 2021 #10

Toy aisles aren't generally labeled by gender, Bettie Mar 2021 #12
