So, which toys are not gender neutral?

  You'd be amazed at the way people think about this. A reasoned answer would be "any that specifically require the use of genitals" but that's not how it plays out. I have friends whose family (sisters and cousins and parents) got offended that they bought their son a play kitchen because that's a "girl toy," even though he wanted it. Girls playing with swords and trucks are "cool chicks" but boys playing with dolls and animals are looked at weird. My anecdata shows that if you let kids pick instead of pointing them in a direction, all toys are gender neutral.

    I'm inclined to think similarly. I think in a legal sense a non neutrally marketed toy would be something with a prominent "ONLY FOR BOYS" etc label on the packaging.
