Isn;t imposing gender roles on toys the act of helicoptor parenting. Don't let billy play with a barbie doll because that toy isn't made for him. Removing gender conotation from toys allows kids to choose rather than parents.
Its sad that my daughter asks if girls can play with certain toys. It takes a lot of work overcoming the gender stereotypes. Although after a trip to universal studios she now loves the transformers.
