I love that gendered toy sections in stores are totally gone. There are just categories now. There's still usually a Barbie aisle because there's a million barbies and an action figure aisle because there's ten times as many action figures, but they're not separated into girl's toys and boy's toys like they were when I was a kid in the 80s. There was a boy in my elementary school who had a Cabbage Patch Kid and got made fun of for playing with a girls' toy. I hope getting rid of those barriers in stores has helped that sort of thing. My daughter didn't really seem to get the concept of 'this was a toy boys played with' and 'this was a toy girls played with' until she started enjoying going to antique malls.
