or phosphites--whichever it is

For boys! For girls!

I believe the term is "separate but equal". Yes, we are touching on this subject again because our opinion matters, especially to the Lego corporation, and if we talk about it enough we might change its mind.

Surely you have read elsewhere, dear reader, that what the Lego corporation is doing is not necessarily "bad" because evil pieces of shit marketing has shown that girls do indeed prefer pink, purple, and being reminded of their future role in the domestic sphere. Do remember that this is true only in "western" cultures and those "influenced" by them and that, just like any religion, should "western" cultures be wiped out, none of them would reemerge as they once were. Growing up, little girls (or anyone) don't know what they like. They "like" pink because society tells them that they like pink. The Lego corporation might not explicitly tell little girls how to behave or what to like, but by producing sets like these, the Lego corporation helps to perpetuate these harmful gender roles.
