I always find it strange when a proponent of gender equality does not treat genders equally.

  There is a clear asymmetry. "The teacher says that Lego play helps with development acceleration and math skills, while dolls offer little challenge or opportunity for growth." So she banned the boys from using lego in order to encourage the girls to play with it, but she didn't ban the girls from playing with dolls.

    Okay. I think I get it now. So since Michael Jordan can play basketball better than a handicap person, we should cut off Michael Jordan's foot so that the handicap person can now be equal to Michael Jordan. Awesome logic. Makes so much sense. Purposely dumbing down the boys so the girls can be on par. Wow. Why not just get something for the girls to play with, something that'll also increase their math and logic skills?

      This is essentially the premise of a 1961 Kurt Vonnegut story: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Bergeron https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Bergeron
