What makes blue more boy-specific than guns are, objectively? For whatever reasons, whether through child instincts or society, both are generally preferred by boys over girls.
- DanBC 12y agoThe pictures of only boys on the blue boxes and the pictures of only girls on the pink boxes is something that needs to be considered. I don't care if more boys buy guns and more girls buy toy horses. I do care if those toys are packaged in rigidly gendered packaging and stocked in gendered sections of the toy store.
- facepalm 12y agoI recently saw Nerf guns for girls in the store. While my children are not yet of Nerf gun age, I think the Nerf gun for girls might significantly increase the odds that one day I'll be able to have Nerf battles with her. So yay for that. I would probably first try with a "normal" Nerf gun, but if that doesn't stick, why not try the girl variant.
- ashark 12y agoNerf guns, or Nerf bows? I've seen a lot of girl-gendered bows lately, thanks to The Hunger Games, I guess.
