Watch This Little Girl Explain How Toy Store Sexism Works (Video)

[Egnever]

20. Sorry not buying

I have a little girl with two older brothers. She is 24/7 surrounded by boy stuff. Today we went to the local toy store and what was it she wanted? The pink dolls...

Not mildly interested.. Focused like a laser beam.

Having watched these three grow up so far with the idea we would not impose gender specifics cause we believed this stuff and thought it was unhealthy. What we have found instead is a lot of this stuff IS hardwired.

You have little to no effect on it whatsoever. People like what they like and I am quite sure if they found that marketing blue superheroes to little girls made them money they would do it in a heartbeat.

The reality is boys and girls are different and like different things, and the little girls tend to go for the pink baby dolls.

I guarantee you there is no rule in that store you cant buy the "boy" stuff for your little girl. But i bet you dollars to donuts that if you take your little girl to the store and let her pick what she wants with no imput from you she will buy one of the things that are traditional girl things 80% + of the time.
