On a deeper level, I worry that too many toys (especially male toys) encourage our children too be aggressive rather than imaginative.

      @redsteeze @marclamonthill toy guns are very persuasive. I use a squirt gun to keep my dog from barking. It told me to kill my neighbor.

    @marclamonthill What if a boy uses imaginative toys like legos to build a space ship that shoots things? #MINDBLOWN

      . @marclamonthill Or maybe it's the lack of values and teaching about guns. Grew up around them and I've never thought to kill others.

    @marclamonthill but you're absolutely right about the potential for damaging influence on our young boys if not guided properly

    @marclamonthill children can easily be taught how to play constructively rather than destructively. Some kids just need a bit more guidance

    @marclamonthill building a gun out of blocks is aggressive AND imaginative

    @marclamonthill Yes--thank you! Case in point: try to find any LEGOS set that DOESNT have a weapon, circa 2013.

    @marclamonthill "male toys"! You can't say that. that's genderiscm. Gender doesn't exist. Its a made up construct.
