With the toy for girls, it's anti-feminist however being raised 100% Mexican learning that I'm in training to be a housewife, it doesn't surprise me that something like this would one day exist. It's sad that is what society believes young ladies are supposed to do to this day but I'm glad & aware that society is changing and I'm no longer destined to just be a housewife.

Your tablet is here already! How is it harder to draw? :O I thought it should make everything easier. :\ But I hope you figure it out soon and show us your amazing drawings! I hate doing the dishes. :( It makes my hands all rough and ugly. The thought of it as a chore, ick! :( Oh yey! Your tablet is here already!

Wacom tablets are so cool! I'm glad you have one. Can't wait to see all you make with it. I think I may spend my extra money this summer on one for myself. I've always wanted one. It's sad but a lot of kid's toys are still teaching dangerous gender roles... hell, every time I go to Wal-Mart I look at the section for boys (guns, army men, etc) and girls (easy bake, barbies, dress-up) and think "wow"... still no common ground. Beautiful. Kinda funny... since I used to be best friends with a boy when I was little... and we always found plenty of games we both loved. So where is the section for both boys AND girls...? Loading the move now… it may take a while.
