    Read a news story today, about a Scandinavian toy catalogue.
    Because of the climate in Scandinavia, the catalogue contained "reversed" gender roles for the boys and girls.
    So there were girls playing with trucks and power tools, and boys playing with dolls and toy kitchens.
    (and this is just ONE examples of all the stuff that kids are exposed to, on this agenda. It's almost like kids who are true to gender identity are forced towards the opposite, on principle).

    The catalogue was then sent to customers in France, on a large scale and many really took offense to it - and there was a huge debate in media about whether the Scandinavian views was deluded and ridiculous, or positive. Whereby Scandinavian media claims the French are reactive sexists and what not.

    Personally I think - let the kids play as they like! Truth is probably most girls prefer the dolls. To try to turn nature upside down for little innocent children is ridiculous.

    Great idea! Children should develop their imagination and handicraft to provide dolls with some decent weapons and trucks with some nice outfit.
    "Россия для русских" - это неправильно. Остальные-то чем лучше?
