I'm thinking brahman is the only one who read it.
This thread became really confusing. It's like three different debates going on. And none really make sense.

Na...just repeating everything everyone says in here everyday.
I've oppressed no-one. I don't believe half the shit I say, nor do I read it either. I didn't read the article.

You did though by saying my ancestors would be angry I'm not out putting women by saying they don't deserve legos. By saying 60 years ago I would be out lynching black people.

I'm sorry I ruffled feathers. I really wanted to. I finally read the article.
I agree. Genderfying building blocks is stoopid.
I'll go back to existing and not oppressing and leave the forum to all the know-it-all self-appointed social soldiers.

Absolutely. White people killed a few millions Jews too. I'd support another holocaust.

It's social de-engineering, which by definition is also social engineering. It also happens that the people who complain about bringing more women/minorities into the marketplace are the ones who can barely compete with the existing work force.
No matter one's thoughts on the article, you have to admit there is some sort of social pressure on Target to do this. What other reason do they have to announce that they're degendering their products? Target is displaying it's acquiescence to a certain political standard. It won't hurt business, but it will showcase Target's friendliness to a set of ideas. It's a safe move with no victims.
Damn! And this whole time I thought the sectional gender labeling at the Target stores was simply a way to save me time by making products easier to find when I was out looking for a birthday gift or something for my nieces and nephews.
Hold up, you people weren't reading the linked source for this thread? You were, what, just responding to a headline and brief summary by Wayne?
All this from an article that didnt really say a whole lot. Actually the only part of the article I had a problem with was that some groups were calling for the removal of the boys and girls clothes signs. Thread worked perfectly.
Also loved the fact that ucfvsbcs showed how truly racist he really is.

No one ever reads the articles. We wouldn't be able to faux rage if we did that.
As a father of two young girls, I love this. Most dipshits in this thread that have a problem with it, either (a) don't have children or (b) aren't active enough in their children's lives to go shopping for toys with them.
I love how not having children is an immediate disqualifying condition to have an opinion or a problem on this subject.
By the same logic, since I have relatives that are homosexual, those of you that don't have any homosexual relatives can't have an opinion or a problem with homosexuality.
This makes everything so much simpler now. I'm glad we can all be Sith Lords and deal in absolutes.

Having kids completely changes how you view the world. I say this because I had a lot of strong beliefs about kids before but were completely changed the day my daughter was born. If you dont have kids, I cant take your opinions on kids seriously. Its not a fault, just a lack of perspective that is impossible to gain unless you have kids.
And no opinions on abortion unless you're a woman and no opinion on rape unless you have a penis and know what it's like.
Father of two boys here...they make guns and weapons out of pretty much everything. Boys and girls are absolutely different from the get go. As the head of their preschool once told us "boys seem to come out of the womb knowing how to make a gun out of legos."
However, when my 4 year old asks me if Toy X is for boys or girls because he's not sure if he should want to play with it, it bugs me that he feels that already. Play with whatever you want to little man, you'll have plenty of time to worry about what other people think later.

I can respect that. Your opinion is relevant.
Talk about sexist. We're supposed to assume you mean straw"man" because of the jacket and tie. What if it is really a straw"woman"?
He's never been a straw man, so he doesn't even know what he's talking about anyways.
I'm using his own logic, btw.

I mean, your quarterback gets punched in his grill for being the walking shitshow that he is and all of the sudden you go full retard.

You're assuming that their surroundings had no effect on their personalities. That doesn't make sense. There are definitely differences between boys and girls but using anecdotal evidence from society to support the societal structure is a circular and weak argument.
Jets is right again. Jajajajajaja.
As a father of a picture frame I hope my picture frame lives a life free from stereotypes and is free to be stained whatever color it wants and fall in love with a table
Picture frames are victims

I knew it! You used to be white, then you decided to identify as black. I support your choice
Wow, you ran out of good material that quick or have you always been this dumb?
HE'S A HERO AND AN INSPIRATION!!!!!!I knew it! You used to be white, then you decided to identify as black. I support your choice
Black people know what it's like to be white though...
= AOK
Bob says "I don't care what it's like to be black" = Insensitive racist bigot
Treat everyone the same.*
*unless that person is white, they deserve it because they're the same color as slave owners
