Every dinosaur / rocket / Star Wars birthday card has the word boy on it đ

The whole gendered toys thing shits me, always has. Some people just donât get it; my MIL always bought her a doll where youâre supposed to style itâs hair and put makeup on it, and itâd be Elder who tried to learn to do hair with it as his hair was frequently the longest in the house but he lacked the dexterity to style it himself đ Generally it seemed to me that girl toys were about boring stuff like playing âhouseâ or âmummy,â whereas boy toys were about building and conquering worlds and exciting stuff.
