I dont exactly have a particular toy from childhood that i favored more than the other. I liked what most other girls liked; fake babies and white barbie dolls. i had a decent amount of those and strangely i accepted the fact that i don’t need toys like hot wheelz and water guns. I never doubted my distaste for them even before i had knowledge of gender difference ‘rules’. However i didnt favor any of my girly toys either when the time came to throw them out there was no sentimental goodbyes to my dolls and toys they were simply thrown out or given away.
I’m not sure if i played with typical girly toys because my parents preferred to buy those for me or because i simply preferred to play with them. I think boys and girls should be allowed to play with barbie or hot wheels and it shouldn’t necessarily be taken away if it ‘wrongs’ the gender difference ‘rules’. However there can also be an innate preference that girls will prefer different toys from those of boys.
