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."

This isn’t just a French thing. This is typical of whinging lefties the world over.

Sex toys for Christmas make the best stocking stuffers!
Oh wait, I read that headling wrong. Nevermind those batteries in your stocking... they are for... uh... your flashlight, yeah, that's right... your flashlight.

How many feminists does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Wow I remember that! Charlie's Angles. Girls in grade school watched it! I was more of a Wonder Woman fan. Linda Carter as Wonder Woman is said to have made girls more "aggressive". Not sure if that's true. The 70's did have a lot of female super heroes though.

They need their hair pulled and their asses reddened before they get what they really want but are afraid to admit it.

Tinker Toys are inherently sexist with the male and female parts.

Tinker Toys are inherently sexist with the male and female parts. Sexist, or sexual? ;)
