While it definitely looks like Mike doesn't discriminate against girls(since several were present in the story and pictures) I find the focus on boys less than ideal. "Tomboys" exist, and even girls who tend more to the "traditional" female gender roles like to play outside and be rambunctious. To me, he should be focusing on all kids not a particular gender.
Edit: I also think encouraging kids to segregate less by gender might help with our other discrimination/segregation issues as well but that's pure conjecture.

I wouldn't be surprised if his approach might change if he ever has a daughter, but he doesn't have any obligation to worry about what's best for other people's kids.
- mordocai 10y agoRight, and in my opinion part of what would be best for his sons is for them to be playing with girls as well as boys. Therefore, in my opinion Mike shouldn't be marketing this specifically for boys.
