You could never get away with that today.
In Sweden you can’t even depict boys holding toy guns and girls dressed up as princesses; it is gender discrimination.
From here:
Sweden’s largest toy chain has been forced to become ‘gender neutral’ by picturing boys holding baby dolls and girls brandishing toy guns in the pages of its Christmas catalogue.
Top Toy – which holds the franchise for Toys R Us – made the move after being reprimanded by the country’s advertising watchdog for ‘gender discrimination’ in a previous catalogue, which featured boys dressed as superheroes and girls playing princess.
What the article describes going on in Sweden is not gender-neurality. It’s gender contrariness. Just take the norm and twist it 180 degrees.
I always liked camping myself.
Quem deus vult perdere, dementat prius
When the boys grow up and are expected to defend the country against something really nasty….all this will bear fruit.
