@georgia @MilquetoastQT @Prodigal @agni @Nemesis_Nyx We prepare kids for the roles that best suit them as adults. And actually I believe those slight differences in hormones are enough to perpetuate the status quo.
Call me old fashioned but I do not think it makes sense to advertise dolls to boys and GI Joe to girls.
Those are maybe the 2 extremes, but I think you'll find that children naturally gravitate to one type of play or another. But if they don't that's fine too... the only thing I have a problem with is liberal parents and the state trying to enact a social justice agenda on children. Forcing boys to play with dolls and forcing girls to play with GI joe even when they don't want to. And taken to the absurd extreme, you get these deranged gay parents who decide their kid is transgender and force puberty blocking hormones on them. How far does this go?
Just let the kids play with whatever they want. Easy enough.

I'm against marketing anything to children, to be honest.
@Surasanji @MilquetoastQT @Prodigal @agni @Nemesis_Nyx @georgia Same. Kids shouldn't be watchign tv really.
@meowski @MilquetoastQT @Prodigal @agni @Nemesis_Nyx @georgia@spinster.xyz
I don't mind TV or whatever, because it can be something to teach and learn. Like, I don't care if my kids watch Disney movies and sing the songs and want the albums or whatever.
That's fine for me.
It's the direct marketing to children that I find distasteful. 'Hey Kids, buy this cereal, free toy!' sort of BS.
As a parent, of course, it's your duty to monitor and filter what sort of media your children are consuming- but like TV as a babysitter is terrible.
