The economic cost of gendered toys

Sundae · 03-10-2014, 02:07 PM

I read, or was read fairy stories as a little girl.
I never wanted to be a Princess, because I grew up in a country which actually had Princesses, and they were normal women who had to observe rigid protocol, live in the public eye and be nice to everybugger.
They weren't especially beautiful with big eyes and tiny waists, they couldn't sing or charm woodland animals and they certainly didn't live happily ever after.

I blame Disney.
Then again I blame him for the smell of cat pee in my room.

Oh sorry, that's Dizney
(Diz's original name which I changed as soon as he came to live with me because I dislike the cartoons so much.)
