Even if men and women are different, I'm not certain that prescribed gender categories for toys is really aiding that anyway. Isn't it more convenient for both genders to not miss or avoid a toy because someone has labeled it as not belonging to their gender?

- PopeOfNope 11y agoOn the other hand, most consumers buy toys for children based on gender. How difficult does Amazon want to make it to find a toy for your niece or nephew? Not being able to filter for one or the other is an inconvenience. Now, if they have data that suggests nobody used those categories, that's one thing, but removing it for political reasons is another.
- mc32 11y agoThe other filter people use a lot when searching for toys is age. They could remove the ages filter too, and expose you to all toys without any distinction. Just a toy firehose. I don't think the gender filter is helpful, but maybe it is to some people. But then it's Amazon's property, so I don't care about it, so long as they don't remove the gender filter for adult clothing.
