28、. A UK campaign called Let Toys Be Toys seeks to get retailers to stop dividing toys and books for one gender ( 性別 ) only.Researchers have worried about the effect of having toys that were so segregated ( 分開的 ) by gender for some time, says Lisa Dinella, associate professor at Monmouth University.Cl

As recently as the 1970s, toys sold in the US were not always marketed with clear gender distinctions. By the 1980s and 1990s, however, toys star

33、 to the child for crossing gender boundaries. hard for parents to throw out the rules,” she says.Researchers hope that one day, toys will stop being broken up by gender and will instead be categorized (分類 ) by type, like puzzle toys, dolls or children's bikes. Toy choices, Sweet says, should be
