G.I. Joe doesn't exactly glorify math to boys.

But if a GIRLS toy says something- WHOOPS! Time to jump on the bandwagon and claim women are victimized by society.

In the meantime, they make the "Easy Bake Oven."
Should we now claim that "Society" is forcing little girls to enjoy cooking?
Nevermind the fact that id they girl doesn't like the toy- She won't play with it.

And I may have had talking toys when I was a kid, I am sure they may even have been opinionated. But I didn't listen to them.
