Amazon, the online retailer removed the “Boys” and “Girls” filters from toys in an apparent attempt to become more gender neutral, or should we say politically correct.
Margot Magowan and Julie Gunlock appeared on “Fox and Friends Weekend” to debate if this is a good move or not.
“What Amazon’s decision gives is more freedom of choice for consumers,” Magowan said. “So consumers are no longer guided to buy toys based on gender stereotypes, where toys for girls are based on fashion and beauty and what you look like and toys for boys are based on building and science and electronics.”
“This move by Amazon is a stunt to satisfy these feminists who want this taken away,” Gunlock countered. “The bottom line is people are different, children are different.”
“Consumers have plenty of choices out there and this just makes it harder to shop.”
What’s next, dresses and high heeled shoes will feature a transvestite.

Great marketing strategy Amazon. Reach out to 1% of the population while alienating the other 99%. SMH…
“This move by Amazon is a stunt to satisfy these feminists who want this taken away,” – What has this got to do with feminists??? Such a stupid comment.
