Amazon hinders customers from choosing toys based on sex differences between girls and boys
By Julio Severo
Before social engineers had begun to turn children into amorphous little beings, little girls played with dolls, little houses and kitchen kits, and little boys played with guns, construction kits and action heroes.
Amazon has taken a stand for social engineers and against sexual differences between children.
In a move sure to electrify homosexualists, feminists and socialists, the online retail giant has deleted the boy and girl buttons from its online menu, hindering customers from searching and choosing toys based on sex differences between girls and boys.
Amazon has been pushed about by the politically correct brigade, said Chris McGovern, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education lobby group.
This is another example of feminism getting a grip on how we think. In the real world, it is females who tend to have mothering instincts, so it makes sense for dolls to be recommended as suitable toys for girls.
There is a biological difference. We should stop trying to blur the gap between sexes. If you want boys to be girls, and girls to be boys, this is how to do it.
He added: Im afraid that rampant feminism has not done a lot for our society.
The controversial move by Amazon follows complaints by feminists that toys are supposedly sexist because they encourage young girls to aspire to be mothers, to play with make-up or make-believe that they are performing domestic chores.
Feminist psychologists claim that to prepare a girl to be a wife and mother limits her vast career horizon.
Meanwhile, they say that boys toys such as guns, action heroes and construction kits train boys to become male chauvinist.
They propose inversion: boys playing with girls toys and girls playing with boys toys.
Amazons decision has been welcomed by feminist and homosexualist campaigners and educationalists, who said all children should be free to play with toys aimed at both sexes.
This is not the first controversial move against children. Amazon has been notoriously supportive of homosexual marriage, which usually includes adoption rights and is fundamentally detrimental for the normal and healthy upbringing of children.
Amazon has become a capitalist giant in the service of homosexual, feminist and socialist perversions.

The Indepedent headline: Amazon drops gendered listings for toys, customers can no longer search for items for ‘boys’ and ‘girls’
DailyMail headline: Amazon makes toy department gender neutral: ‘Boy’ and ‘girl’ search filter removed from online market

.DailyMail headline: Amazon makes toy department gender neutral: Boy and girl search filter removed from online market Since you are evidently way too freaking lazy as a blogger to provide an actual link to the articles you mention (and no real surprise as most bloggers such as yourself are incredibly lazy), I will actually do it for you:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3072252/Amazon-makes-toy-department-gender-neutral-Boy-girl-search-filter-removed.html
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/womens-life/11588657/Amazon-appears-to-remove-its-boys-and-girls-toy-categories.html
This is evidently a change in Amazon UK search parameters not Amazon US, but then I took the time, just a very few seconds of my time in fact, to Google Amazon.UK and then I put into the search toys girls I got this result:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=toys+girls&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Atoys+girls
And putting toys boys into the Amazon.UK search bar I got this, a much different result:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=toys+boys&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Atoys+boys
So contrary to the alarmist headlines of the Daily Mail (and I love the Daily Mail but mostly for the celebrity gosspic), The Independent and bloggers such as yourself, even in the UK one can still search for boy and girl centric toys.
Then again IMO some toys shouldnt necessarily be strictly labeled just for girls or just for boys.
For instance I know that when they were younger my triplet great nieces had something like this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/CHILDRENS-54PC-BENCH-TOOLS-WORKBENCH/dp/B00GL1TFDK/ref=sr_1_32?ie=UTF8&qid=1431112918&sr=8-32&keywords=toys+boys
Their dad being a HVAC master mechanic and all around handy man, and much like my dad who was a master carpenter was, while a very conservative and old fashioned guy, he thinks it is a good thing for girls to learn some basic skills and know how to use some tools. FWIW at the same age they also had a kitchen set.
When I was a little girl a long time ago (Im 53 years old) one Christmas the only two things I really wanted was an Erector Set and either a telescope or a microscope/chemistry set but my mom talked my dad out of getting it for me and instead I got the EZ-Bake Oven that I played with only once or twice gadz was that a lousy toy and I much preferred playing with the Spirograph and Fun Maker especially making plastic bugs, that I got that year.
And why should something like an art set (and Im not talking about sparkle nail polish sets but art supplies like colored pencils and drawing paper) be more for girls than for boys or a science learning set be more for boys than girls?
And what kid - boy or girl, or a kid of any age wouldnt love this:
