I am, I can deal with the world the way it is. You're the one who is "fighting a lone battle on these issues".

And if you believe that books aren't marketed to boys or girls then you haven't been in a bookstore or are totally naive.

And having all the dolls together is what's done in toy stores already, so what you want is to have all the dolls together, but if someone calls it a section for girls toys, they get fined or kicked out of your gender neutral world?

Yes you can deal with the world the way it is because it doesn't affect your wonderful liberated life, how lovely of you. These issues don't affect me personally, female inequality doesn't affect me, gay rights inequality doesn't affect me, a lot of economic inequality doesn't affect me...but they're all still issues which I care about, funnily enough I don't just think because the world is fine and dandy for me that I should forget about everyone else that faces injustice and inequality

I never said that either, I was using an example of how books are categorised into genres so you could have a similar process for toys

And why are you making up bizarre policies and hysterically putting words into my mouth? Why does a section of dolls need to be for girls - I actually don't understand that. What is it about a doll that means a girl should play with it? Do girls emerge from the womb desperate to play with Barbies or something? I didn't know that was part of our natural psych to be automatically attracted to plastic objects that look a certain way, I've been so mistaken all these years
