Province of Girls

When I was in elementary school, boys did not play with dolls until the appearance of GI Joe and later the Six Million Dollar Man "action figures". Today, I sometimes see parents handing their boys Barbie dolls or even porcelain princesses. Somehow, I do not think the boys playing with toys previously enjoyed almost solely by girls are going to be growing up to be cowboys, lumberjacks, policemen, firefighters, soldiers, or pro football players. They are more likely to end up as hairdressers or interior designers.
