every time I go into Target. They literally have pink aisles for "girls" toys and blue aisles for "boys" toys. Walmart is a little better but the damn toys are still the same. They have genderized everything down to Legos at this point.
It makes my head explode, every time.
Then I go through the women's shoe department which is filled with 2 kinds of shoes. 1) stripper shoes and 2) dainty ballet flats. WTF. There is no useful, reasonable footwear for women at Target. It's all all frou frou decorative crap. I want my shoes to be, you know, for walking in. Not for decoration.
Then, sheeeeeeeit, I saw a set of "women's" tools at Target and of course, they were fucking pink. 
Pink tools. I don't even fucking think so. 
My god I am glad toys were not genderized when I was a kid. Then, there was one Lego set, nongendered, and everybody liked playing with it. EZ-Bake ovens were not pink or purple. They were more like mini versions of real kitchen ovens. The only thing I remember being "genderized" was bicycles, what with the lower crossbar for girls (which I guess was originally to make room for skirts???)
