Gardening Tools Kit
gender biased toys?
Honestly would you let your son play with toy kitchens, brooms, dolls, and nurses’ kits? Would you let your daughter play with toy power tools, plastic garden tools, tonka trucks, and Dr kits?
This is for a sociology project so please be honest.
My question is this: How are the toys gender-biased?
How is a toy kitchen a “girl’s toy?” My boyfriend is a FAR better cook than I am, and a very close personal friend of mine is a male chef. How is a doctor’s kit a “boy’s toy?” That one actually outright offended me. Nearly fifty percent of the students graduating from medical schools are female. I worked with my dad in his workshop and built things out of wood when I was growing up, so I don’t see how power tools are gender-biased, and I know loads of women who love to garden- more women than I do men, actually. An uncle of mine is a nurse, and my dad puts in just as much time cleaning as my mom does. I think anyone who sees these toys as being gendered has a very narrow view of men’s and women’s roles in life.
All of these toys, in my opinion, are very gender-neutral. I would let my son play with any toy I deemed appropriate for his age, be that a toy truck or a doll or a pink fluffy maribou boa if he wanted. Same goes with girls. Kids should be able to express themselves through play. It shouldn’t be another opportunity to press them into society’s molds that try to dictate who they should be.
