Lego has vowed to remove gender stereotypes from its toys, after a survey revealed how boys fear they will be 'made fun of' if they play with toys marketed for girls.

My 5 boys, who all repeat what I say, have all hears “Pink is for girls,” from me their whole lives.
....and my girl loves pink.
Sue me.
Allowing boys to play with Barbies or My Little Ponies is child abuse. Give them cap pistols, fireman’s hats, and chemistry sets.
Priceless!
Lego got woke and then they went broke.
That question was used to obtain a specific response. Its likely that there has been no outpouring of surpressed grief from little boys, all upset about toy choices.
Somebody kept pushing the hypothesis “But if you DID want to play with your sister’s dolls, WOULD you then be worried what your buddies might say about you?”
“Probably yeah”, replied the little boy.
The Danes have a long history of imbecilic wokeism.
I had all boys, GI Joe’s, Tonka, Lincoln Logs and Hot Wheels, besides bikes. Even the primitive vid games were not out yet. Still had a wall phone. Commodore came along when the last was just starting school.
I bought my boy Barbi Dolls and showed him how to do voodoo
pin-stucking curses on them. Works like a charm.
And that will stop it? I seriously doubt it. They are fixing a problem that does not need to be fixed.
Can I use this photo?
A masterpiece (the Capital Invasion set)!
The only toys in the future will be rainbow colored musical instruments.Team sports will be banned too.
Classic story: A little boy was given dolls, and a little girl was given toy trucks and cars. The little boy crashed the dolls together and set them on fire in a terrible traffic accident, and the little girl set up a tea party for the mommy and daddy trucks and their child cars.
I don't know, can you?
I stole it from the interwebs, so I don't own the rights.
The only thing I don't like about it are that the two MAGA hat wearing protesters have guns. One has a rifle, one has a revolver.
There were no weapons brought into the Capitol by Stop the Steal protesters.
Until Lego came out with their ‘Friends’ line, I always figured Lego was for boys and girls. I know both my girls loved them. I had a huge box from when I was a kid. Lego last forever!
I have noticed that girls are more partial to the ‘Friends’ line, but I really don’t think that is so much about marketing, than the characters are more doll-like. Minifigs don’t really articulate well. Boys don’t care as much about that, but it seems that girls do.
I’ve actually considered getting a few Friends sets so I could use the characters in some of the bigger cars I’ve built. Minifigs don’t really fit them.

Nah, give them both. Sooner or later GI-Joe will either be riding the unicorn or slaughtering it for food.
That’s the dumbest thing I ever heard.
My 3 year old son plays with my 6 year old daughter’s toys all the time. Why? Because he just wants to play with his big sister.
And visa versa.
I guess I’m the worst mother alive.
