Gender in the toys
...I was shopping with Tiina yesterday. She wanted to buy a "plasteline" ("art dough") for her nephew (I hope the nephew is not reading this blog so he will be surprised ;-) heh..) So we ended up in "plasteline" departement and even here in such a gender neutral toys there were plastelines meant for girls in a pink box, with princess figures on it. Gender - a great merchandising element!

this whole topic really keeps me thinking and I'm following more and more the discourse in newspapers. And I try to influence on my environment here to stop using and thinking in these stereotypes.
It is "amazing" to understand how hidden and deeply rooted some of them are. But I think there's a way to decrease them - we can use our minds, become aware!
