But, they should have the option to play toys that traditionally have been boys toys as well. It was hurtful to hear nope that's just for your brother. Not that that stopped me. But, it shouldn't be an occasion to shame girls if they want to play with a toy truck. And boys should definitely not be shamed if they want to play with dolls. Or any of the other girl things. Let them wear tiaras if they want.
