Feminists in France say they have secretly inserted tracts inside children's toys from Barbie dolls to plastic guns issuing a warning that "this toy is sexist".
Hundreds of French girls and boys will open Christmas presents at the foot of the tree to find an unexpected accompanying note resembling those found in Chinese "fortune cookies".
Except in this case, the message will neither provide instructions nor predict the future. It will read: "Warning, this toy is sexist:"
The operation was launched by feminist group FièrEs, which said that it had inserted "around 500" such tracts into a range of toys in a dozen shops in Paris.
"We targeted games that are emblematic of boy-girl stererotypes," said Delphine Asian, legal representative for the feminist group, who added: "We have caused no damage or ripped any plastic. We simply slipped the message in boxes, or in books."

Oh, I thought it would be something like a woman busily cleaning the toilet with a toilet brush. After all, that’s women’s work. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I’m not sure that Tinker Toys know HOW to be sexist.
Their toys must be a lot smarter than mine. Mine only did what I told them to...and not all of that(darn pegs kept falling out when I spun the wheels).

Rubik’s Cube? Obviously sexist.
You see it's got six sides, which sounds an awful lot like sex sides
, besides this it's covered in squares… one of the most manly geometric shapes imaginable (I mean, have you ever heard of female squares?) — all that, combined with a strong root in mathematics (a male-dominated science), means that it's sexist!

LOL- how many kids or adults for that matter- read the instructions.
At a guess- maybe 1 in 10 adults, maybe 1 in 100 kids.
If I received some toy or gift that needed assembly- I was attempting to figure how to put together before consulting instructions.
To: Morgana
Dear Feminists,
I’m sorry your father was a loser.
But I’m not him.
Go away.
To: OneWingedShark
Even worse, the word “sex” is Latin for “six”.
