Today in gendered toys, we learn that juggling (or its later-in-life equivalent: hackey sack) is a male pursuit, while knitting (or its later-in-life equivalent: knitting scarves for Male Life Mate and the three beautiful Post-Uteran Flowers that you two have together, who—heteronormatively!—frolic in the backyard while you knit one, purl two) is for the girls.

The sad thing is that a lot of the other products from Seedling, a New Zealand toy company for kids, look kind of neat and gender-neutral. Or at least don’t have those aggressive labels. Then again, PHEW, because without those labels, you really could have fucked up your kid by giving her some beanbags, am I right??
