On a somewhat lighter note: Girl campaigns to introduce a new color scheme to Easy Bake Oven and succeeds.
I did not know that Easy Bake got gender specific in the early 90s. Nor did I ever know that there was a gender divide with Legos. My parents always bought me Legos (circa late 80s). They also bought me Barbies, She-ra, TMNT, my Little Pony, a large assortment of Hot Wheels, r/c cars, kites, dinosaurs, assorted dress up, and on. I consider myself to be fairly balanced in my gender identity.
Heck, my when my boyfriend was a kid he greatly favored the stereotypical boy stuff, and he has no problem cooking and baking. He's quite good at it.
