What a load of rubbish

There is nothing stopping a girl buying anything available at a Toy store and the same goes for boys. I don't quite understand what the parents of these children want. :confused:

. No or less pink things and therefore less choice??

**** me, some people really have too much time on their hands.

I wish I had enough time to bother about such pointless ****.

Dolph · 9 Dec 2009 at 15:23

I wish I was irrational and stupid enough to think there was any evidential backing for such a ridiculous campaign.

Sin_Chase · 9 Dec 2009 at 15:24

Hahha that cracked me up.

Reporting in the girls section and then he moves to the boys side, he might as well of yelled "OHHYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH _BOYS_"

"Grace loves a bit of pink" Oh, oh really?

Like they are really going to make any difference, at the end of the day children and parents buy the products because of many reasons, not just because of the colour.

I don't think the toy makers will lose any sleep over this.

They grow out of it.

If they want, they could always just have some boys toys

Someone should email them this link, it's bound to wind them up

So many things that are marketed at girls/women the world over a pink.

So.. what stops any child from having any of the items from any section of the toy store?

Girls like boring toys - when they grow up they like boring soaps.
Boys like exciting toys, and they carry on liking exciting toys, they just get bigger.

No point trying to paint it any other way.

pinkification haha

serious question, what does blue do to boys in the same respect then?

blueification?

anyone hazard a guess?

Tefal · 9 Dec 2009 at 17:41

they do have the same choice though.

if they want a soldier, astronaut or explorer toy they can buy one :/

Same way a boy can buy a pink tutu, if he likes pain and violence.

Exactly, let the kids have whatever colour there is, colours don’t do them any harm.
