Same old gender stereotyping when it comes to Christmas toys?

December 21, 2010 — This photo essay was not taken in the 1950s or 1960s. It was not taken in a traditionally conservative part of the United States. It was taken in the heart of New York City just before Christmas, 2010. Remapping Debate visited two national chain stores (one primarily devoted to toys; the other having toys along with a wide selection of other merchandise).

Free “consumer preference,” or gender stereotyping, or both?
