Social engineering: French government announces deal with toy manufacturers to crack down on 'gender-specific toys'

The French government signed an agreement on Tuesday to fight cliched sexist divides in toy shops.

The old adage 'dolls for the girls, cars for the boys' will hopefully become a thing of the past in France thanks to a new agreement that aims to reduce gender stereotypes.

On Tuesday, it was signed by the Secretary of State for the Economy, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, with major toy manufacturers, distributors and shops.

Comment: Govt and corporations working together to implement social engineering. If that isn't the textbook fascism, we don't know what is.

"We are looking to work on the creation of new toys, and also how they are represented in advertisements and the way they are sold," said Pannier-Runacher.

Through this text, entitled "Charter for a mixed representation of toys", the whole sector is committed to making "measurable" efforts to improve the gender-neutral representation of toys, explained the French Federation of Toy/Periculture Industries.

In the build-up to Christmas, French toy shops will not divide into pink sections for girls, filled with dolls and soft toys, and blue sections for boys, filled with cars and construction sets.

It is hoped that this new directive will help broaden children's approaches to toys and, subsequently, to life. For example, there are not many scientific toys currently aimed at girls and there is a limited number of women working in science. This new text hopes to play a role in helping young girls to project themselves into a scientific career by providing them with exposure to scientific toys.

"We know that the first thousand days (of life) is where a lot is created and established in a child.

"Fighting discrimination later on requires action right from the very first days", added the Secretary of State for Children, Adrien Taquet.

Comment: One significant problem here is the male and female brain aren't conditioned to like male or female things. Preferences are hard-wired. That said, it is certainly true that the first years of a child's life remain critical for their development. This makes it all the more important that we don't mess with children's brains based on activist ideology over actual science. See the following documentary:

Isn't that proselytizing rather than reporting? Well, I guess anything goes in the "new and improved" (sic) morally relativistic society doing deceitful distractions during the downfall of man.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to see this. I was just going to point that out and seen you already did...

So now SOTT is on the side of anti-Biblical liberals?

SOTT is now aligned with the non-binary agenda?

I wonder if the entire SOTT staff agrees with this view...

Jones The article is from "The Local". IOW, SOTT didn't write it. Also, note the SOTT Comment in the big blue box at the end of the article:

We often share articles like this with a comment and further info at the end in order to point out the absurdity of what passes for "news" these days.

Wow, there is no ability to edit my post.

Anyway, on SOTT's about page is says "SOTT.net is a leading alternative news site providing independent journalism and unbiased analysis" but this article is very bias..

Jones No. You can't edit your post, but you can do an addition to it by hitting the left pointing arrow in the blue box right corner base of your message, as I am doing here.

I recently noted that it seems that SOTT posts these type articles to keep up 'on our toes' and to show how just absurd the world's gotten; not to praise such articles. Indeed, as Scott notes, SOTT's blue box inserted comment at the bottom makes clear

a) the fundamental factual flaws in the article; and,

b) that this was put up for us to keep SOTTites aware of the levels of absurdity that Western society seems to be attempting to outdo itself in the worst way possible, by some new direction daily.

The comments at SOTT are the only comments I've ever read that are consistently worth reading. Stick around and you'll see free and open debates on the points where people clash... but almost all of the time in a diplomatic fashion, for SOTTfolk all agree about one thing: we're here to seek the truth, and in order to do that one needs to be aware of their own subjectivity, and pay attention to the points of others. When trolls happen to show up here, their inconsistencies and hypocrisies uniformly get called out.

Jones Jones, try and stop for a moment and read Scott's comment again. Sott.net's position on this topic is contained in the blue comment box within the article.
