Target, the second-largest discount retailer （ 折扣零售店） in the US, announced in 2015

28、that it would get rid of signs labelingtoys for boys or for girls. 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,

29、 says Lisa Dinella, associate professor at Monmouth University.Clearly divided pink and blue toys with dolls and tea sets on one side and trucks and building blocks on the other are actually a pretty recent development. As recently as the 1970s, toys sold in the US were not always marketed with clea

By the 1980s and 1990s, however, toys started to become more gender segregated, though it was still not so sharply divided as today, says Elizabeth Sweet, a lecturer in sociology at the University of California, Davis.While it may seem like a small issue, toys help children to

But it's difficult for parents to ignore the marketing and get their kids toys or costumes meant for the other gender, says Dinella. While some parents try to broaden the

33、 toys their children are exposed to, there is often a social cost to the child for crossing gender boundaries. So it is 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 puzzl
