A picture is worth a thousand words then.
The pictures of the WoW costumes over at her LJ certainly speak volumes. And the Lisa t-shirt. Excellent blaming indeed.
As well as the obvious aggravating differences, I find it really interesting how the design aspects of these boxes reflect so much of our attitudes to kids and gender – the way the “boys” box has ‘Go!’ in a bright fiery bubble and the “girls” toy has ‘pretty!’ with a flower in the exclamation mark – boys do stuff, girls are for looking at. This kind of division is everywhere, though usually more subtle.
The original post is hilarious though :)
Personally, I love how they don’t even pick the right age for the girl on the cover/make the trolley the right height, so she has to bend down at an awkward angle.

And the dress, oh my, the DRESS.
