In response to "does Target actually say "boys" and "girls" by toys?" by groiny

we don't have Target, i don't know. But i don't know why all Lego can't be together, or all Figurative Human Things (aka dolls) can't be together.

I just like being able to run into the store looking for a present, and being able to decide which 3 aisles I need to look in. - groiny Aug 11, 07:57 6
- I think the point is that that desire to find the "right" aisle is driven by gender biases that need to be ended. -- nm - TWuG Aug 11, 08:01 3
  - I think it's driven by the fact that the overwhelming majority of kids who buy toys in the boys aisle are boys. - Inigo Aug 11, 08:07 2
    - It's a feedback loop. Who knows how the gender split would look if society didn't encourage it from the earliest ages. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 08:09

  - It probably won't even. "My kid like Star Wars - oh here is a giant aisle full of Star Wars toys" -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 08:08
