McDonalds is Sexist Again

[ericadawn16]

Currently, the McDonalds Happy meal toys are Victorious for girls and spy toys for boys.

SPY TOYS FOR BOYS!

WTF?

Have you never heard of Harriet the Spy? Hermione Granger? Natasha Romanoff? Betty J. Sapp?

GIRLS LIKE SPY STUFF, TOO! YOU SEXIST MORONS!

You're sort of right and sort of wrong. Maybe there are lots of boys who like Victorious. Perhaps boys would like Victorious toys, but they're stuck with generic spy toys. :p

While making the distinction between the toy types by gender is dumb, I'm not sure what would be better. I mean I always ask for the "boy" toy, and like surreal_44 said I bet there are boys that ask for the "girl" toy. Course the computer for my local McDonald's calls the toys the "truck" toy, and the "doll" toy regardless of what kind of "boy" toy and "girl" toy they actually are. 8)

Request a boy toy. :p

I know at Burger King they have Pink stuff (crowns and dolls with hair brushes) and the boys have monster trucks. I'd go for the monster truck, just because I think it would be more entertaining than a doll or a crown that sits there and does nothing.

Don't forget Penny from Inspector Gadget, too!

Not to mention, you know, Mata Hari, Tokyo Rose, etc. etc. Sigh.
