Today I thought we’d do another round-up of gendered children’s stuff, since we’ve gotten a number of submissions. So here we go.<\/p>\n

Missy C. noticed that the manufacturer’s product description listed on Amazon for one of the Fisher Price Imaginext Sky Racers<\/a>\u00a0took for granted that the toy was for boys, not, say, “kids”:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Monica C., meanwhile, noticed another example of the association of girls with a diva-ish princess center-of-attention persona when looking at onesies for sale at My Habit<\/a>. Options included “born fabulous,” “high maintenance,” “born to wear diamonds,” and “it’s all about me,” among others:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Similarly, Melanie J. saw some baby booties for sale at retail chain JR’s in North Carolina that reinforce the idea that boys are mischievous while girls are materialistic:<\/p>\n

You can buy them gendered vitamins as well. Nathan, who writes at 1115<\/a>, sent in this photo he took at Target:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pete & Emily in Norwich, UK, noticed that you can now allow your hamsters to inhabit gendered worlds too, if you’d like; they sent us this photo they took at a pet store:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But we do have two counter-examples this time! Jackie H. took a photo of a kitchen set she saw for sale at Meijer, which shows both a boy and a girl using it:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And Isabeau P.S., Jesse W., and Anne Sofie B. all sent in images from the catalog for Swedish toy maker Leklust (two of the images were discussed at Mommyish<\/a>):<\/p>\n
