I'm a female who hated playing with dolls - they were boring. I didn't play with trucks or other toys either. I preferred hands on or sports stuff - bike riding, tree climbing, football, computer gaming(but not television which I could never stand). I required activities which were more mentally stimulating, otherwise my behaviour became destructive.
I'm quite lucky though as I was encouraged to do the things I was enjoyed - my female cousins were not. When their brothers went bike riding, she was told she had to stay home and make cakes. When she asked for gifts for Christmas she didn't get them because they were not socially acceptable for females, so she got dolls.
So, how many choose them because they genuinely like them? And how many choose them because it's enforced and they think it's the social thing to do? How many disney films are all about finding one true love to take care of you?
