My sister, bless her heart, never discouraged it. She didn't encourage it, but if he wanted it then she would get it for him because who is she to tell him what he can and cannot like?

You'd be surprised how many kids don't get the toys they want as a kid because "No that's a girl toy" or "No that's a boy toy". I remember when I was 5 years old I would be next door playing with the girls (because there was like one fellow boy on my street) so yup - I played My Little Pony and it was fun. They had all the ponies and the playsets.

Why should toys have to be gender-geared? Why can't toys just be toys?

Wasnt there something in mid-late 2015 about target trying to get rid of the Boy/Girl toy aisle setup for their stores?
