Feminists in France say they have secretly inserted tracts inside children's toys from Barbie dolls to plastic guns issuing a warning that "this toy is sexist".
Hundreds of French girls and boys will open Christmas presents at the foot of the tree to find an unexpected accompanying note resembling those found in Chinese "fortune cookies".
Except in this case, the message will neither provide instructions nor predict the future. It will read: "Warning, this toy is sexist:"
The operation was launched by feminist group FièrEs, which said that it had inserted "around 500" such tracts into a range of toys in a dozen shops in Paris.
"We targeted games that are emblematic of boy-girl stererotypes," said Delphine Asian, legal representative for the feminist group, who added: "We have caused no damage or ripped any plastic. We simply slipped the message in boxes, or in books."

Throw in their affinity for eating cheese and it's the ol' triple whammy.
I wonder if they also included a message that said:
“Merde Noel Les Enfants!”
And proud of it! :D
Hah! OK... Sword ping away... :-)
Tinker Toys are inherently sexist with the male and female parts
...so are implant dentures, with male and female connectors...I feel so guilty...
Feminists see everything as a phallic symbol.
...and French feminists see everything as a Gallic phalllic symbol...
No healthy man or a woman, regardless of age would think that “sexist” is something bad.
Sexist? I’ll take two!
