Fisher-Price: It's never too early for gender stereotyping!

Love / Shove blog post by Jessica Jernigan, March 21, 2008 - 9:49am; tagged children, gender stereotyping, Kids, toys.

When I think back on my own childhood, I find that my memories are sepia-toned, by which I do not mean that I am especially nostalgic, but, rather, that I grew up in the 1970s, and brown was hot. Yellow, too. Those two colors comprised the entire palette of the complete Little Tikes line and many other elements of my visual universe. Everything else was red, green, or blue. All little kids had pageboy haircuts, and boys and girls wore the same Garanimals and played with the same Legos.

Tears of a Clone

Why Hollywood’s Women Are All Choked Up
Article by Laura Smith, published in 2007; filed under Film; tagged crying, emotions, gender stereotyping, Hollywood.

From all the films made every year, the Academy must choose the performance that deserves its Best Actress accolade—and avid watchers of their annual awards might well conclude it has no sensible criteria. Some years, the voting body wants to show its integrity. Other years, it wants to pet its poodles. This year, it wanted to pretend that racism isn’t an industry given, and rolled out an inelegant glut of tardy tributes. And there are, clearly, yet more social and political complexities polluting the field.

Dumb & Getting Dumber

Sideways, Spongebob, and the New Masculinity
Dumb & Getting Dumber
Article by Judith Halberstam, Illustrated by Martha Rich, appeared in issue Masculinity; published in 2005; filed under Social commentary; tagged bad movies, gender roles, gender stereotyping, heroes, manliness, masculinity, mid-life crisis, rites of passage, spongebob squarepants, stupidity.

In 2004, every corner of popular culture was populated by men in crisis, and I don’t just mean George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, and Dick Cheney. We had men in trouble, men in triumph, men in uniform, men on the cross, men in square­pants; men being men with other men, talking about masculinity—what it is, how to have it, keep it, get it, make it last. We might even call it the Year of the Man, but the response to such a title could reasonably be, So what’s new? Isn’t every year the year of the man?

Expert Opinion

An interview with India Reed Kotis by Ayun Halliday, appeared as a sidebar in the article 'Rules of Play' in issue Maturity & Immaturity; filed under: Consumer culture; tagged: children, gender roles, gender stereotyping, play, toys.

Since we don’t have any actual kids on staff here at Bitch hq, we thought we ought to get some input from one. We talked to India Reed Kotis (also known as Inky), age 53/4, about her playtime preferences. More accurately, her mother, Ayun Halliday, creator/writer/illustrator of the East Village Inky and author of The Big Rumpus (Seal Press), talked to her and sent us the results.


What’s your favorite toy?
