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

LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 month agoI agree, the whole concept of girls toys and boys toys is silly to me. I grew up given dolls and “girly” stuff, so the way I’ve been socialised has made me feel like Hot Wheels, Star Wars, and dinosaurs aren’t supposed to be for me.

The whole gendered toys thing shits me, always has. Some people just don’t get it; my MIL always bought her a doll where you’re supposed to style it’s hair and put makeup on it, and it’d 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 😆 Generally it seemed to me that girl toys were about boring stuff like playing “house” or “mummy,” whereas boy toys were about building and conquering worlds and exciting stuff.
