The article is just a long troll Post. Also I don't see what it is in particular that prevents one from buying a gray telescope for your daughter if that is the sort of thing she's into. The same doesn't hold true for all that pink **** though.


Hrm. On a related note, I'm getting my daughter a stethoscope for Christmas. I was considering pink, but I may go with traditional black instead.




Good call; I hear that the black ones are slightly bigger than the pink ones.

What?

Because they're for boys and not for girls I mean. Which makes no sense in the real world cos girls mature faster than we do (if we do at all) and are bigger at the age where you'd be buying them toy stethoscopes anyway so it would make sense for the bigger ones to be for the girls for reasons of scale surely..... meh.... I'll stop digging now.


Toy stethoscope? Nope, getting her a real one. The toy one just doesn't cut it anymore. =/ (note to self, start saving for med school.)

To be fair its a lot of shite.

No one forces you to buy princess dolls for your daughters xmas, nor does your son need to have a fake plastic saw.

I played with action men when I was younger, I wished I got an E-Z Bake oven instead because I love to bake all sorts of ****.

The only people that are stuck in the stone age are the parents.


I was lucky I had sisters, so I had the action men and the easy bake over. But I think creepy crawlers were my favorite though.
