They're never too young for gender stereotypes!


Well this is a fun little piece of gender stereotyping!

I was reading an article on Bitch Magazine’s website, and one of the commenters posted a response that included this article. (Hooray for blogging!)

I am just so taken aback by the blatant gender stereotyping here. The “girls’ toys” are baby carriages and kitchen supplies while the “boys’ toys” are basketball hoops and pirate ships. I guess Pottery Barn wants a smidge of credit for including kitchen gear like refrigerators (in fire engine red) and a vacuum cleaner, but where are the medical bags and race cars for the girls and the baby carriages for the boys?! Sheesh.
