I want a boy toy

Well, good news, I asked each toy their pronouns and neither responded, so I guess the meds are working. Now, do you want a hot wheels or a barbie?

Those people will eventually grow old and die while their children grow up to be slightly less conservative (on average).

My boy is really into cars by default, which is funny since I'd 100% be down with Barbies, too. Daughter though, she just wants Legos and jigsaw puzzles... at age 4. She's just not into gendered stuff, she just wants to build.

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it ...

City skylines or factorio when she starts playing video games?

I need to know if she's in my team or the other team (the other team is just way smarter than me, there's no bad blood <3)

Hey I'm wondering what her team will be too, although I'm more of an expert pack Minecrafter myself (so probably factorio or satisfactory lol).

Watch her end up more a Crusader Kings 3 though like a friend of mine... Lol

The customer is implying that it is obvious between a barbie and a hot wheels which is gendered for boys. So instead of saying which toy they want, they are expecting the employee to identify which is for boys. It's a subtle way of reinforcing gender binary and societal expectations of what is "appropriate" for children to want to play with.

That is unfortunately not how anything works. These people were young as well once, and that didn't stop them from becoming conservative.

Generally the age when they start to feel overwhelming fear of change and the unfamiliar. Exposure therapy is probably the best cure.

Victoria 3 and Europa Universalis V are both great, and better than CK3 imo.
