Agreed so much that we should be working to eliminate the gender associations with specific toys and pursuits.
That said, maybe this is a workaround to parents with gendered toy expectations? Or to encouraging STEM interests in girls who have already been socially indoctrinated into gender norms?
- pathartl 1y agoYeah after posting this comment I ended up discussing it with my SO. I don't think this product is a bad idea by any means, it just seems to learn way too much into hyperbole for something that is essentially an American Girl doll with a microcontroller implanted in its chest like Tony Stark. This alone can't "fix" anything.
