The parents made their children play with toys exclusively gender-neutral?
I made a lot of gender neutral toys when my children were small and encouraged to play with the children's mother, toys and baby groups. We never had a television (on purpose) when they were young, but still conform to stereotypes. My son turned anything he could lay his hands on an imaginary sword, gun or bomb to blow the wrists. My daughter spent hours combing the toy horse hair, making clothes for farm animals and coloring 'pretty pictures'. Parents family, made their children play with toys exclusively gender-neutral? How did this happen?

I'm sure I had a baby girl a few monkeys who chose to also atypical. In general people should not be forced to do things that are not willing to, and children's toys is a good example. What compels a choice even gender-neutral toys only is restrictive, and I suggest things to the detriment of their natural development. As adults, we must be able to be sufficiently mature to accept differences in others and this applies to our children.
