Within families, it's one thing. I grew up with a dad who didn't care if I wanted Lazer Tag along with Care Bears.

But in society it's tough, especially when things are so black or white. It's never "Barbie or Lego?" it's "Boy or girl?" I grew up when Lego's were Lego's, now they have a line directly aimed at girls because all of the "boy" kits.

When it comes to products, aside from a very very limited number of items, why do they have to be targeted to one gender or another? Nothing wrong with pink tools, if other colors were available also. Why not red, blue, green, or yellow? Why are most tools just tools, but pink gets the froo froo packaging?

Think back 30 years, stuff was just stuff. Get rid of the targeted products, make it neutral again, and let things be bought to be used vs just another gimick.

*sigh* Sore subject for me since I never fit into being a "girl" but knew I could never be accepted as a "boy", so having to live with expectations that didn't fit who I am sucked.
