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. </p> <p><a href="http://bitchmagazine.org/post/fisher-price-its-never-too-early-for-gender-stereotpying">read more</a></p> http://bitchmagazine.org/post/fisher-price-its-never-too-early-for-gender-stereotpying#comments children gender stereotyping Kids Love / Shove toys Fri, 21 Mar 2008 12:49:55 -0400 Jessica Jernigan 315 at http://bitchmagazine.org http://bitchmagazine.org/article/tears-clone <p>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.

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 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 <em>East Village Inky</em> and author of <em>The Big Rumpus</em> (Seal Press), talked to her and sent us the results.
