This woman was so triggered by the "gender bias", she took to the internet to write this insane, incredibly snooty piece. She felt "so deflated" over a barbie and a hot wheel.

I despise parents like that. They have no right to try to force their views on others.

One time McDonald's asked me if I wanted the hot wheels or barbie (or whatever the toys happened to be, maybe transformers and beanie babies) instead of the girl toy or boy toy and i was so pleased i thanked them at the window and they looked at me like i had grown a second head. Normally I don't care too much but my son, who thus far is still a boy, wanted the "girl toy" but had enough awareness to notice when they called it a girl toy, even though he's not a girl.

Toys should be toys and kids should be kids and be allowed and encouraged to play with whatever they want with no stigma.

The cashier gets paid minimum and couldn't care less about being woke. Explain to your child she's doing a boring and tedious job. Then move on with your life, Karen.

People will bitch moan and whine about ANYTHING. Sometimes they should just take their F***ing toy, sit down and eat their death food.
