A very nice article HERE. If the link does not work, copy and paste it in a browser: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jakewallissimons/100210036/pink-lego-is-an-abomination-end-this-gender-fascism/
The article is about pink legos for girls, and how it only contains mommies, daddies, fashion items and cuddly toys. Such sexism is not only dangerous for girls/women but more also dangerous for boys/men. How it can be dangerous for men? Well, if little boys see these things on TV and on store-shells and if he is brought up with the idea that women are sex-objects and are there only for sex and do all his house-work, then reality will hit him hard when he goes out for dates/marriages. In the twenty-first century, it will be very hard for him to find like-minded and educated women (unless of course he is interested to have as his wife a dumb, illiterate person) who will confer to his stereotypical ideas about women.
