Topic: Sweden - Girls with guns, not dolls, in 'gender neutral' toy shop

[Pandora]

SWEDEN'S largest toy chain "gender neutral" after picturing boys holding baby dolls and banishing girls from the dolls pages of its Christmas catalogue.

"For several years, we have found that the gender debate has grown so strong in the Swedish market that we ... have had to adjust," Jan Nyberg, director of sales at Top Toy, franchise-holder for US toy chain Toys R Us, said.

The country's advertising watchdog reprimanded the company for gender discrimination three years ago following complaints over outdated gender roles in the 2008 Christmas catalogue, which featured boys dressed as superheroes and girls playing princess.

A comparison between this year's Toys R Us catalogues in Sweden and Denmark, where Top Toy is also the franchisee, showed that a boy wielding a toy machine gun in the Danish edition had been replaced by a girl in Sweden.

Elsewhere, a girl was Photoshopped out of the "Hello Kitty" page, a girl holding a baby doll was replaced by a boy, and, in sister chain BR's catalogue, a young girl's pink T-shirt was turned light blue.

Top Toy, Sweden's largest toy retailer by number of stores, said it had received "training and guidance" from the Swedish advertising watchdog, which is a self-regulatory agency.

"We have produced the catalogues for both BR and Toys R Us in a completely different way this year," Nyberg said.

"With the new gender thinking, there is nothing that is right or wrong. It's not a boy or a girl thing, it's a toy for children."

I like that they have girls holding guns, but she can do so in a pink t-shirt.

As for the rest, these people are batsht f'g insane.

Yes, batsh*t f**king insane. They'll never stop until they are in the grave.

Human civilization is doomed. What else is new?

Everything that we've done to build and engineer the left is busily tearing apart. They won't be satisfied until we're all grubbing about in the piles of rubbish that were our communities.

On a slightly more positive note I recall the study that took place back in the dark ages of the 80's where they took away gender-specific toys and substituted gender-bending toys. In very short order the little boys disappointed the so-called experts by bending the Barbies into the shapes of guns as using them as pretend weapons.

Boys will be boys.

Hopefully genetics is harder to overcome, it might be all we have going for us...

And thank God for that, in the proper context.

speaking of context, I wonder how far along the femiNAZIs got in Sweden in their quest to train boys to sit down for urination.

Isn't there some kind of natural instinct that, besides genetics,should kick in somewhere?
Is it just western civ or white men that have this castration thing?

One would THINK!

Is it just western civ or white men that have this castration thing?

As we have the unwestern'd and unciv'd living in the West, I can just hear the ghetto now if any of them were instructed to sit for passing water, so I'd say it's just White men.  Some.  The metrosekshuls.

Brings to mind that douchebag cop ticketing a mother ($2500) because her 3 year-old took a whiz in his own front yard. 

And then, there are the times I see Gunsmith emerge from the garage and take a li'l stroll 'round the far corner.

Once again, they can try all they like but as long as little boys continue to discover their natural writing abilities the lefts attempts to subvert and emasculate the male species is doomed to failure.

Toys R Us is popping up in these stories more and more.

Why?  Global warming, supposedly.  I don't buy into a lot of the boycott this boycott that thing, but sometimes a company will work hard enough to ruin my way of life that they will make my list.  You's now on it, pal.

Then again, it is Sweden...

When the Islamofascists see things like this, they see it as a diseased civilization subconsciously begging to be put out of its misery. And they might be right on that point. At any rate, this is the sort of thing that emboldens them into thinking the West is ripe for the taking.

Radical egalitarianism is the ultimate middle finger to Reality. I just do not see how such things can be long for this world. The inevitable rebound effect is going to be something to behold.

I have to wonder if this sort of thing is not a built in self-destruct function in every civilization. It seems that every successful civilization of the past has entered a terminal phase like this. This manner of thinking can only come about as a direct result of a civilization's past success, because people who are preoccupied with the necessities of living could never be bothered to devote so much mental energy to abject nonsense like this. No, this can only come from a highly developed society that has so well attended to its basic requirements that it has freed part of its populace to develop into this sort of secular priesthood.

The West has one epic smackdown coming its way.
