One thing I've always wondered about when this subject comes up - why is it no one really poses the question: Is it okay for girls to play with trucks? It's a sad commentary on our society as a whole that it's acceptable and even admirable for women to challenge the traditional gender roles, but if men do it, it's seen as a weakness.

Nightline had an interesting story last night about fathers in Sweden who are able to take extended leave when their children are born - basically similar to maternity leave here in the states.

I agree with the PP who said there are no girls toys or boys toys, just kids toys.
