If you are female, what kind of toys did you play with when you were younger?

What if you are male?

My sister had the typical girly toys to play with when she was younger. Barbies, tea sets, pastel colored horses. Ian, my brother has Power Rangers figurines, plastic swords, Pokemons.

Me?

Generally, I backed off the gender specific brainwash. I played with dinosaurs, Thundercats, cowboys and indians and admittedly...Power Rangers.

But at times, I also played with toys marketed to little girls--namely myself. Actually, make that "toy". I played with Little Ponies...but don't get me wrong, I had a massive collection of ponies.

Parents determine what their kids should or should not play based on one very key reason; what you play will shape you in your adulthood.

Sissy or tomboy?

Did you just cringe at all the negative implications stalking those two words?

Do playing toys "meant" for the opposite sex really determine how feminine or masculine a person will become?

I turned out just fine.
