Did boy children really prefer dolls to spaceships back in the day, because I highly fucking doubt that.

You're a sexist asshat for the title. Shouldn't you be on tumblr?

I'm sorry but it looks like the copyright date says 2006

Let your fucking kids make whatever. Military fortifications, hospitals, houses, space ships, gulags, whatever. Gender is irrelevant.

Well Timmy wants a rail gun.

Legos were my fav! I loved building blocks, and legos! I didn't know they were boy toys ?

It's almost like they don't want to eliminate half of all potential consumers.

Wait, wait, so does this mean that plutonium is, or is not an acceptable gift for the spawn?

I created a Russian mi-24 hind

I used to chew on my older sisters barbie doll heads because they were chewy

And that boys can build whatever they want too.

Those silly free thinkin', equal rights lovin' Danes. It's no wonder they're still a monarchy and not a democracy like good ol' 'murica.

Damn, son. Wait.... isn't there a specifically girl oriented doll lego set out now?

LEGO Friends.

People used to complain because all minifigs looked neutral/manish. Now they complain that there are some girly figs.

Conclusion : you can't satisfy haters...

I wasn't complaining, I was just juxtapositioning

There have been for years. My sister had one back in the early 90s. But there weren't very many until more recently.
goingcrazy
Yes, but only because there were a lot of young kids that wanted pink.

Catering to all markets. If girls want a spaceship, they can get a spaceship, or build their own.
LetMePickMyTeethThenHaveMoreChips2
I'll be damned if I ever bring pink lego bricks into this house.
weliveinaspaceshipdear
Why? That's kind of.............um, what's the word.........dumb?
HessianGhost
Pink bricks are fine. It's those damned wrong minifigs.
thatoneguywhoyouthoughtwasryanrenaldssexclamation
Well, I need pink bricks, but not those damned girly figures!
HorseBot3000
Right? I mean, I have pirate girls, city girls... All in the regular minifigs...
DrWhoodles
I want the ability to work with all the colors in lego form. Some of the friends sets are well designed too.
schmooster
what are you going to do, use red and white single-flats in the correct proportion to get the pink you need?
Goingthedistance
Well yeah cause some times a girl wants girly things nothing wrong with that.
lupusx
The point is that there are no such things as "girly things". It's just a toy with a colour the media assign a gender to.
CairoLen
My son loves the Lego Elves sets that are marketed to girls.
ceandros
Except that kids are extremely sensitive to suggestion. With ads and girl-targeted toys, most girl will just choose something "for girls"
NerfHerderTurdBurglar
and watching any old Lego commercial, they're just about all aimed at boys.

ZachPutland
Well they are a company and those are primarily intended to produce value for shareholders
GershKuntzman
Disagree with title: I don't the purpose is to remind parents 'that girls can play too.' The message is that play should be enjoyed by (1/2)
EpicPancakes
I mean, that's the same thing, the first way of saying it is just kind of offputting. Girls in addition to boys includes all children
EpicPancakes
Unless you're a genderfluid wolfkin I guess

every child, regardless of gender. Creativity shouldn't be restricted.
MrMooobs
Tumblr? Is that you?
rowlanry
But then how would he look "progressive" and "hip"
AshOfHyrule
Very true! It's encouraging that whatever child picks up a Lego brick should be free to build whatever they want!
GershKuntzman
Exactly. It's not a girl vs. boy argument at all, as the title suggests. If anything, it's an argument against traditional gender roles.
