I want a boy toy
Well, good news, I asked each toy their pronouns and neither responded, so I guess the meds are working. Now, do you want a hot wheels or a barbie?
Those people will eventually grow old and die while their children grow up to be slightly less conservative (on average).
Progress is coming. One funeral at the time.
That's what I thought 20 years ago but today I am not so sure :(
For real, the older I get the more sure I am this is part of an endless struggle.
I like to think we're 2 steps forward and 1 step back kind of species
Right wing propaganda is a helluva drug.
not sure whi said this
Society doesn't change when new ideas are brought up, Society changes when old people die.
It was fucking Max Plank!!!
A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it ...
Close enough
That is unfortunately not how anything works. These people were young as well once, and that didn't stop them from becoming conservative.
My boy is really into cars by default, which is funny since I'd 100% be down with Barbies, too. Daughter though, she just wants Legos and jigsaw puzzles... at age 4. She's just not into gendered stuff, she just wants to build.
She yearns for the mines
No she yearns for the skyscrapers
Why not both? Lol
Hoch- und Tiefbau as we call it in german ... not sure how to translate this ... "building up and down"?
City skylines or factorio when she starts playing video games?
I need to know if she's in my team or the other team (the other team is just way smarter than me, there's no bad blood <3)
"Please select the toy whose attributes are more likely to statistically correlate with the reproductive caste demographic which has been labeled 'male' by the consensus of Homo Sapiens who speak English."
"Ma'am do you think a college educated sociologist would work at a fast food drive-thru?"
"In this economy? Absolutely, yes."
"..."
"..."
"...okay fair, I'll put the toy car in the bag."
hot wheels are cooler than barbie no matter what gender you are and i need not elaborate any further
I meqn, i agree but they play different games and this is why both are necessary.
Hot Wheels are so much fun as an adult.
This is the person who also throws a bitch fit when a video game asks them if they want body type a or b in the character creator.
But they happily use their USB type C. Hypocrites
Back when I was a kid, they'd judge your kid and give you whatever they thought corresponded to the kid's genitalia. Even when I heard my mother ask for a car toy I'd end up with a Barbie.
Being constantly disappointed by Barbie toys may have been my first hint I wasn't a girl.
Boys can like barbies too. We can acknowledge that gender stereotyping kid's interests was wrong, while acknowledging that their interests don't always define their gender.
As a trans woman that played with Barbie's in secret as a kid....
We can acknowledge that stereotyping toys is dumb, while also acknowledging that kids like me knew those stereotypes, and did it anyways not knowing why.
It's great to point out its stupid. But is comes really fucking close to denying trans people the signs they were trans young, even we didn't even know it.
No shit, my boy wanted a Barbie when he was little, so he had a Barbie. He also had Legos, and played with blocks, board games and eventually video games. Let kids play with whatever the fuck they want to, they are exploring.
Yes, but I didn't like Barbie toys. That was my first hint I didn't fit into the gender box that had been prepared for me. I'm not going to retcon my experiences at the age of 4 to fit into a modern concept of how I should have figured out my gender.
That was me, too. I ended up just tossing this whole gender concept out.
I have to say, the hot wheels were hot wheels and the Barbies were ugly statues. One was superior.
Do I have to order food to get a boy toy?
No there are other ways to get one, but food certainly helps
If only actually DOING this wouldn't get your ass fired.
I would argue with ma boss "i don't know which is supposed to be a boy toy to be honest, we only have hot wheels and barbies"
This is a confusing conversation. Why couldn’t they say Hot Wheels?
Simple solution.
Put a Ken toy in the box.
You know what she means, just give her the car and be done with it, take your entitled world improvement bullshit elsewhere.
Spoken like someone who never worked a counter. Being literal to customers is one of the few "entitlements" you have in that position
Aw, having some big feelings today?
entitled
I'd love for you to go into more detail about what you meant be this
