[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jill2000Plus: [QB] I do think that cuddly toys used to be more unisexed, though I would still argue that the perception was that boys were friends with their cuddly toys (see Christoper Robin and Winnie the Pooh going on adventures, and I do love WTP BTW, some of my favourite children's books) whereas girls were supposed to take care of them as if the cuddly toys were babies. I also think that boys are expected to break toys occasionally but girls are supposed to play very gently, when they play with toys it's supposed to match the organised homemaker/mother role that society still expects, I don't think girls are allowed to have their play be just that as much as boys are. One good way to find more accurate cuddly toys is to buy them from zoo and aquarium gift shops, the best place to find an anatomically convincing AND huggable octopus, again, cost might be an issue, but if you want to fight the shallowness of the whole cute thing it's one option.
