It wasn't until I had children of my own that I realized just how UTTERLY EGREGIOUS sexism is in the toy industry. When people talk about needing to tackle inequality at every point along the pipeline, this is where that pipeline starts.
I understand the argument behind "vote with your dollars", but when an entire industry is on the wrong side of the issue how can you possibly "vote"?
(BTW, as unlikely as it might seem, we've found the best gender neutral toys are at Ikea.)

- jakobegger 11y agoI've made exactly the same observation. And people like us are voting with our wallets. Its just that noone (except Ikea and some small "alternative" toy stores) seems to want our money.
