Changes parents & kids want
Though the gendering of toys and the marketing of them is only getting more prevalent in today's world, there are parents and people everywhere wanting to make a difference. There are also kids who are working to make a difference — or who are naturally seeing that boys and girls can play with and do the same exact things. Though different, boys and girls can be in a world where they are equal, and parents with the right education can be the vehicle of that change for their children, and for others. Though stereotypical "boys" and "girls" things will never go away, children should be able to pick pink or blue things if they want, without out confusion or ridicule.
