I hate toy sections with their "girl toys" and "boy toys".

Gendered toys shouldn't exist to begin with.

Brainwashing kids into gender roles at a young age. It's sickening.

[Speakeeezzy]

You guys are badass.

[spriteohpowerfull]

@kireikoori well think of it this way would you rather go out with someone that acted as the same gender as you that would just make me you atleast hallfe gay or lez

[Adorablemama]

You guys are so cute! And you make a lot of good points too. Love your thinking.

Seriously, I hate Barbie too. For so many reasons.

yeah people need to do some research about sweatshops because usually people who work in them do so by choice and those are the secondary or third income earners like kids here who work at fast food restaurants for minimum wage.

i here you there youtube is becoming a whiners dream forum.

Here glasses are pertroleum and probably made in a sweat shop. I hope those two don't wear sunglasses or use anything made from plastics.

How about suggesting a solution? Until there is a better solution we'll all keep doing what is easy. Would they ban all plastic & wood babies for girls?

Maybe we should create a truly Eco-Friendly Barbie doll or other toy alternatives which become technical or biological nutrients, formed on the Cradle to Cradle design philosophy. If Mattel developed C2C design philosophies they would be more profitable and they would be helping the environment while ceasing to expose our children with harmful chemicals. Who wants to write the petition?
