Three reasons why toys should not be divided into sexes

Maggie Cole, a 7-year-old English girl, likes superheroes. When she saw the superhero-related toys on the shelves of Tesco supermarket, she posted the slogan "Fun gifts for boys" and felt very angry. She said to her mother, "This is not right! Anyone can like superheroes! My mother photographed her unhappy face and uploaded it to Twitter, which caused reports from the BBC and other media. Finally, Tesco also agreed to win this slogan.

Another 7-year-old American girl, Parker Daines, found an insect book in the library, but the cover of the book said "For boys". She was very unhappy and wrote to the publishing house: "Some girls also want to be entomologists. After receiving the letter, the publishing house decided to listen to good advice and cancel the label "for boys" in the book.

Since 20 13, Britain has launched the campaign "Let Books Be Books, Let Toys Be Toys" to promote the removal of gender labels on toys and books, and appealed to publishers and toy manufacturers to respond.

Parents may ask, is this so important? Is it not a toy? Boys and girls like to play differently. On the mobile phone website, it explains why the gender labels of children's books and toys should be removed:

Some people think that boys and girls play with toys in different ways, but this does not mean that toys need to be distinguished by gender labels. For example, the same dinosaur toy, some children may use it to play war, and some children use it to play as family wine. Giving children a wide range of toy choices can expand their imagination. There is really no need to distinguish whether toys are for boys or girls.
