Young Girl Questions Pink Toys & Gender Socialization

While shopping for toys with her dad, a young girl gets angry about the extreme gender-specific characteristics of the toys around her. She exclaims that, “the companies that make these things trick the girls into buying pink stuff” and then complains, “Why do girls have to buy princesses? Some girls like superheroes!”  Very cute video!
