the issue people have with this is that it is forcing a gender stereotype on girls and limits personal taste preference. Now, the Care Bears are cool, because they have a spectrum of colors and personalities to pick from.

But I agree, it's sad that the color pink is maligned/associated with gender stereotyping.

Some children are discouraged from asking questions. I think that's the 'great divide.'

Difference between progressives and conservatives.

Progressives are encouraged to think and ask questions. Conservatives are discouraged from asking questions and toe the party line.

Interestingly this video also linked on the FB page of the group behind that petition (which is really about this type of thing, not boobs, DU).

Notice she's playing with HotWheels. She chose these to play with instead of the pink stuff she got.

And tell it like it is little Riley in the OP video.

saying "Why do YOU think that is?" as opposed to "Nice little girls need to buy the pink stuff, right, sweetie?"

He had 2 pair of hot pink footed pajamas. I'll make sure his little girl gets "boy" stuff as well as girl stuff. But I suspect she'll have a mind of her own, like Riley.
