Its now a $1,000 dollar fine for having boys and girls toys separated. Toys must be together to encourage gender neutrality. Do you agree with it?

    That's California for ya. Are they going to start fining children for liking gender specific toys?

      Yep, the girls will cuddle the trucks, and the boys will play crash up dolls. It's cute the way the little preschoolers tell the politicians to fuck off.

    California will always be an example of how not to run a society.

    I bet those who passed that in california are thinking "this will be the law that will encourage people from ditching our state"

    This is what happens when one political party controls an entire state for that long. They dont have to fix anything to get elected because the Californians are too stupid to vote for a different party that might try to solve the problem because they want to get elected the next time and they cant rely on political affiliation.

        What they are probably going to do next is build a wall to keep people from leaving. Like all "great" countries when things ultimately go to shit because of their policies.

    I think Crapifornia is an example of a dictatorship. Don't bring your nonsense into other states.

      It’s not a dictatorship at all. In California, people have freedom and they can vote. If China can call itself a republic then California can definitely call itself one too.

        If their votes are overturned than it defeats the purpose of a democracy. Keep California problems in California.

    Thats fucking nuts. They act like there's a damn. Berlin wall preventing any boys going into the girls toys or vice versa.

      Yeah, I very strongly feel that it's the customer who is imposing these restrictions on themselves.

      My eldest is a girl and as such all her younger brothers have enjoyed playing with her "girly" hand me down toys, including dollies in pink frilly clothes. My girls are pretty rough and ready and tend to enjoy toys related to cars and mechanical type stuff.

      It's just little kids playing with toys and it means fucking nothing. I am sick of hearing about it all to be honest.

        Agreed completely. Kids will play with anything. Thats the magic of imagination. Unless your kids playing woth microscopes and telescopes it doesn't really mean anything

    Gendering toys is pointless but a $1000 dollar fine is excessive.

      If I was a buisness I would just eat it and have as much news coverage about it as possible. People who fight back are still recognized by the people and are funded by those people.

    Sounds more like virtue signaling and trying to prove how "woke" they are to me. Does it really matter what aisles which toys are in? I don't think kids even think about that, they just browse all of the aisles that contain toys and pick what they want, or at least that's what I did as a child. I never felt discriminated against because a certain toy was in a different aisle, lol.

    Also seems like a stupid thing to fine over, especially $1,000.

    $1000 seems a bit too much. I don’t see any problem with it other than that. You can help me change my mind if it pleases you. I’d love to see other reasons why it’s bad or you can give me reasons why it’s good.

      They also lump together clothes which is silly. If you are a boy and part of the 99.99% you have to shift through girl clothes so the 0.01% dont have to change aisles. The government should not be the ones mandating businesses to do this. If a business wants to seperate clothes for 99.99% of their customers they should be allowed.

    California is already way too expensive! WTH? I live in Oregon so I have taken road trips down there a few times and every time I notice how my money goes 3x as fast. Sales tax is over 10%! THIS takes the cake, to start charging for random BS like this. SMH

    Time to ban pink and blue colors... Americans you were building the wall on the wrong border! Cancel California statehood and adopt Mexico. Better people overall, route the gangs and drugs to the new independent territory of caliweird.

    I'm all for equality and people living their own lives without having to fit a certain predefined role, but at this point it's just getting ridiculous. The point of sorting is simply to make shopping more over-sightly for the costumer and maybe the people working there, doesn't matter if its "gendered" or not

    Yeah I agree with that. Children aren't really given a chance to form their own opinions when they're being constantly being told what to like, and constantly being marketed to by corporations just looking to make as much money from them as possible by whatever means necessary. And separating boys and girls toys has been shown to make them more profit.

    If boys want to play with stereotypically 'boy' toys then obviously that's absolutely fine (and the same for girls with girl toys). At least for any sensible person, it's fine anyway. There are some "woke feminists" who wouldn't be happy with that admittedly, they'd like to force children to play with the opposite gender's toys even if they didn't want to, just because it'd make them happy to see that stereotypes are being broken. And so I can understand why people would be resistant to laws like this, because they think they were made by those kinds of 'feminists' and that it will lead to nonsense laws. But this law seems to have been made thoughtfully and with good reason.

    However the problems arise when boys and girls don't have the typical boys'/girls' interests. Then if they're being constantly told by the media that these toys are what they're supposed to like, they can have trouble at that age figuring out their true likes/dislikes. Even if they have an idea of their likes/dislikes, they could feel shamed then for those likes/dislikes. They might feel like there's something wrong with them for having them.

    Even for typical boys though, there might be the occasional 'girl toy' that they might want. But they'd never be able to get it because they'd have to go into the girls' section, and that'd be way too embarrassing (and the same for girls with 'boys toys').

    And so this would also deny children the opportunity to try something new and broaden their horizons, they'll be forever forced into this limited mindset of what they can play with. This could stick with them for a long time and they grow up with the attitude that they have to live life a certain way, which would make society more rigid and stagnant.

      You give a male monkey a bunch of toys. What does he play with? Boy toys dispite not knowing what they are.

      Same thing happened with a young female chimpanzee when presented with the same collection of toys.

      It's all about what they toy represents. Male toys tend to be objects while female toys tend to be replications of adult activities/responsiblities.

        Yeah I've heard of experiments like that and I'm not denying that. But though there might only be a small percentage of children who wouldn't typically play with their own gender's toys, that's still a large number of children that could be negatively affected by this gender marketing.

          Because 1% of kids dont wanna have to change aisles 99% of kids have to search through all kinds of junk to find their toys. So we are wasting 99% of ppls time because 1% might be entitled and throw a fit over changing aisles.

            Let's be honest it's not the kids that decided this. It was the 1% of kids "parents" that wanted this passed.

            I used parents in quotations because if you were an actual parent this doesnt even appear on the list of concerns you should have for said children.

              Its not good for kids. I feel like if kids never heard of this kind of thing less of them would turn trans because they wouldn't know anything about it, of course extreme liberals will tell you its a good thing to have more trans kids. But theres a fine line between letting them come to that conclusion and helping them find it. I dont think its good to name your son tiffany and put him in a dress every other day. This is a crazy social experiment we are doing and its probably gonna back fire on us and society is gonna be fucked. Everything does not need to be re-invented.

      Children do have their own opinions and taste, and really it would make the job much easier for most parents if that wasn't as much the case. Small children not getting the toys they want are gonna throw a tantrum. Going to a different section in the same store isn't much of an obstacle. And I don't think people either way would just lose the perception of feminine or masculine just because its mixed in the aisle, it will always be affected by what the majority of people in each gender likes. Exceptions exist, they are okay, but it doesn't change the whole picture. And whatever people around them do and say (especially the parents) is a potentially much bigger obstacle for being yourself than a simple setup in a store.
