Ehh, I’ve noticed the color coding these days over toys. I didn’t grow up with this sort of thing, so I find it a bit queer. It nearly twists my mind trying to comprehend it.

Is there a reason why we cannot pursue our career AND try to stop the stupidity/obstacles/distractions in girl’s paths? What’s wrong with wanting to make the world a better place for future girls?

After having two step-ladders stolen from my garage within a couple of weeks, I came up with an excellent plan: I painted the next one pink, and had no ‘takers’. Back at-cha, guys.

100% agree. Also remember, marketing like this for Toys R Us gets in the hands of kids as well. When I was a 10 year old boy, those ads clearly state what we all hate, the low powered ones are for girls and wussies, so if I am a real Boy I will only want the most powerful one possible!

Some girls actually just like pink, it’s always been my favourite colour growing up and I would have loved having cool things like that in my favourite colour. I think more colour options should be available with things though.
