Play Unlimited

The Greens: 'Children shouldn’t have to conform to gender stereotypes. Boys might be interested in toys that are marketed as for girls and vice versa. This isn’t about some toys being off limits. It’s about children being free to play with whatever toys interest them without fear of being judged or bullied.'

Tony Abbot: 'I certainly don’t believe in that kind of political correctness. Let boys be boys, let girls be girls – that’s always been my philosophy.'


So, letting children choose what kind of toys they want to play with = political correctness.


Enforcing a rigid gender division = apparently a natural, inherent, apolitical act. Not political at all.
