Target to customers: Our toy aisle is now gender-neutral
Target is ditching boys' and girls' labels on toys after the store says customers were raising concerns about unnecessary gender-based signs.
In an statement posted to their website on Friday, Target announced they were moving away from gendered signs in stores.
"Over the past year, guests have raised important questions about a handful of signs in our stores that offer suggestions based on gender," the posting read.
Molly Snyder, a spokeswoman for Target, told NBC News the ways that people shop are continually evolving and changing.
"We tried to look at what makes sense and what doesn't," Snyder said.
For apparel, the signs will stay. But in departments including Toys, Home and Entertainment, Target says suggesting products by gender is "unnecessary."
"We heard you, and we agree," the statement said. "Right now, our teams are working across the store to identify areas where we can phase out gender-based signage to help strike a better balance."
The store said they will also remove references to gender by no longer including the use of pink, blue, yellow or green paper on the back walls of shelves.
Changes will start to be seen in stores over the next few months, the company announced.

It’s no skin off my nose if Target stops labeling toys as Boys and Girls. It will not help Target with sales, though. This PC stuff doesn’t really make you popular.
“I’ve felt for years that Target is the liberal response to Walmart.”
Now I know why my lib-loving, out-of-state sister-in-law asks for, and gives, Target Gift Cards.
Oh, dear. Yellow and green are now micro-aggressions, too? They might have to get rid of the whole rainbow.
But then... O noes!!!!
50 years of pretending and insisting their is no difference between men and women. The end result is confident strong women and meek neutered pajama boy men.
In a sense this if part of a new human comedy, one afflicting most of the Western world. But its effect on the pursuit of happiness is anything but funny.

toys are pretty much self explanatory, as the average moron can tell that a doll is for a girl and a truck is for a boy so they really didn’t need signage to tell people that in the first place.
But clothing... that is going waaaay to far.
[ I guess now they will just have the transgender signs for the toys. ]
I wonder what a “Transgender Toy” is?
Mr./Mrs. Pototaoe head, now with detachable unmentionables.
We ditched Target long ago!!
Wal-mart is pretty liberal too...but at least they have low prices. Hillary is on their board of directors if I’m not mistaken!!!
I wonder how many customers Target will ultimately lose to this infantile whining?
As a grandparent, I don’t want to have to sort through the shelves looking for a toy for my five year old granddaughter. I will be shopping at the stores that help me find the proper aisle quickly.
Hello Walmart.
It’s no skin off my nose if Target stops labeling toys as Boys and Girls. It will not help Target with sales, though. This PC stuff doesn’t really make you popular. These lefties are weaker than we think.
The end result is confident strong women and meek neutered pajama boy men.

I think you mean domineering, screechy, perpetually outraged women.
A gender label on entertainment products? Were they marketing DVDs as chic flicks?
So much for the Barbie doll and the Ken doll. Make way for the GEE I DON’T KNOW DOLL.
I don’t remember where or who said that once but it was a great line to a joke... Openly Barniclized by myself.

“Over the past year, guests have raised important questions about a handful of signs in our stores that offer suggestions based on gender,”
To Target management: “How long have you been in business before this? Why now and not decades ago? Why are you siding with freaks and not normal people? How much money are you making from the freaks? You think those .001% will keep you in business?
Why do this? Promote confusion and faggotry. Why else?
Their TV commercials all feature annoying urban hipsters.
Bossy.
Call 'em "bossy".
It makes their heads explode.

I like yours better. More succinct.
