It’s Christmastime and we’re feeling the joy, the merriment, and the stress. What’s stressing us out? Oh, just the constant gendering of all things in society–including friggin’ children’s toys! Why do toys have to be divided along binary gendered lines? Hosts Bo Méndez and Jackson Bird delve into the history of gendered toys in America, discuss the toys we received as kids (as well as the ones we WANTED to receive), how attempts at gender-neutral dolls aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, and much more in this tangentially* holiday-themed episode.

*Jack is wearing red and green plaid flannel in this episode so he would like it noted that it is much more than just tangentially holiday-themed.
