One of the great things about being online is the ability to shop at small online retailers who take issue with the same things and go all the way: http://imaginechildhood.com is my favorite store but there are all sorts that don’t define play by gender or increase their market share by selling the same toy to boys and girls by packaging each in gender specific colours.
Great post!
