But its ok for boys to play with such toys? It all seems very one sided to me. My girls play make believe and use their imagination just fine. Both with fairy wings and super heros. By not letting little girls explore those types of toys aren't we just forcing them into a box that tells them its not ok to be girly and domestic?? Why not allow them both toys and truly let them decide for themselves??

Oh geez if you don't like it don't buy it!!! No ones forcing you to spend your money. I personally think they are great I have two girls 7 and 4 and they both play with the traditional set at their grandmas house and love it but have been asking for more girl figures and flowers and such. Why does everything have to turn into an issue of stereotyping a girl into domesticity. There are still plenty of little girls out there who play with dolls, dress up and play kitchen. It's what they see from their mothers and they idolize their mommys. Why does society have such an issue when it comes to the differences between boys and girls?? They are different!!! We were created that way. My girls play with cars, lincoln logs, and with my sons tool bench. My son plays barbies and dress up with the girls. But at the core a girl is a girl and a boy is a boy and they have different tendencies. Maybe those of you who are so worried about girls playing with feminine toys need to reevaluate why it's such an issue.
