Today in the U.K. feminist blog, "The F Word," guest blogger Sabre is talking about how kid's chemistry sets (particularly the sets branded by the makers of The Dangerous Book for Boys) are marketed primarily to boys, therefore not actively exposing girls to science. However, I've also heard the opposite -- that kitchen sets, for example, are primarily marketed to girls, therefore excluding all those male future chefs. What do you think? Should there be chemistry sets specifically for girls, for example? Should all toys be gender-neutral? Do you only buy toys based on your child's interests, not their sex? Let us know. -- E.
