People aren’t impressed by these ‘sexist’ cards that say flowers are for girls and sandwiches are for boys
Producer Rachel Prior wrote: ‘It is insidious. Worming its way under the skin of generation after generation. Burn it all’.
One person raised a good point, asking: ‘Why would you buy them a card that says you’d buy them flowers? Why not just buy them flowers?’ Another user noticed that a lot of items have a similar theme, saying: ‘Toys, books, clothing for boys are often occupation themed. Girls are dancing, prancing, princesses. I’m not railing against princesses, but we need more balance and more gender neutral options.’Also: baby books for girls & boys. Because obviously, babies require separate, gender-specific reading material at this tender age.
