Target to remove gender-based labeling

Kids visiting Target will no longer have to consider their gender while shopping.

The retailer announced Friday it will start removing gender-based labeling in several departments — including toys, bedding and entertainment — around the store. The company says the decision comes after feedback and suggestions from customers.

“As guests have pointed out, in some departments like toys, home or entertainment, suggesting products by gender is unnecessary,” reads a statement from Target. “We heard you, and we agree. Right now, our teams are working across the store to identify areas where we can phase out gender-based signage to help strike a better balance.”

Another stupid move foe Target to be politically correct. I hope they lose all their business and go under.

Wow some of you really miss the point. Why should a girl only play with dolls and not a race car. Is it bad that a little boy likes a female character in their favorite Disney movie? The days of blue for boys and pink for girls is over. I know that some of you want to continuously live like it's the 1950's but times change and so do people.

Gender based marketing improves sales.

1:48....Nature is OVERFLOWING with gender based differences. Humans seem to think if we just made more boys play with dolls and girls play with Tonka trucks, the world will be a better place.
Wrong.
Maybe we can get an all female Marine Corps, or let women fight men in MMA, since, in the view of the minority, there's no difference in boys and girls, or men and women, except the differences society labels them with....
Also wrong.
As far as needing a label "to tell which gender you are", Normal people aren't looking for one (and certainly don't NEED one), but there are a few people who seem to crave one. You know what I'm saying??

If God wanted boys and girls to be the same in any manner. Our parts would be the same and we would reproduce like snails do.
