Kind of depressing because it looks very like a small version of what I push around all day.

[–]RobertTheSpruce 66 points67 points ago

Have an upvote for doing an extremely important job, with little or no thanks.

If you clean an office, there is a very good chance that you do a more important job than any of the office workers. Their fuck up means they lose a client... your fuck up could mean the whole damn building gets closed by Environmental Health...

[–]severedfinger 13 points14 points ago

I do a lot of work for a big, important University, and as far as I can tell the only thing the office administrators do is forward emails back and forth to each other.

[–]StillAnAss 25 points26 points ago

Do you secretly go into the math classrooms and solve the unfinished equations at night?

[–]cycopl 8 points9 points ago

I work in IT for a school district and you are correct.

[–]toolusingmonkeys 0 points1 point ago

I agree it's sadly amusing that school district costs keep going up and up and up and when times are tight they never suggest firing a bunch of the paper pushers whose jobs didn't exist and weren't needed 20 or 30 years ago and instead they always threaten to fire teachers and end up cutting sports and art programs instead when the teacher unions won't take pay or pension cuts. Then we wonder why our kids keep getting fatter and dumber

[–]RobertTheSpruce 2 points3 points ago

I used to do office admin, and yes, it involved a lot of email forwarding, and paper shuffling. Literally money for doing nothing of any value whatsoever.

[–]DarkSpawn890 5 points6 points ago

So Girls Only and Boys Only toys are being marketed to illegal workers?

[–]outtsider 6 points7 points ago

This will be one of those toys we look back on in 30 years and post on reddit to illistrate how unevolved sexist we really were.

[–]white_n_mild 0 points1 point ago

But in the 90's I had a kitchen set (I'm a dude) and it wasn't pink and purple and "for girlz only" it was of better quality first of all and it was white, yellow and blue. I think with the evening out of culture that world trade has done there is some marketing withcraft being cast on us by outside forces. This thing was not designed in America, and it certainly wasn't made here. This least common denominator bullshit businesses sprint toward (lowest manufacturing cost, highest profit margin, selling on people's biases) is coming back around to fuck up our children at this point.

Things WERE better. They're not anymore. WTF

[–]InRustITrust 0 points1 point ago

A few points...

  • Illustrate is spelled as such.

  • Evolution has nothing to do with sexism. In fact, evolution is probably largely to blame for it

  • If Reddit is around in 30 years and that (yet unborn, given that Reddit is mostly filled with twenty-somethings) generation posts on it, they'll probably be making fun of how incredibly dumb the posts from their parents' generation were. This is not to imply Reddit only has dumb people posting here, but the quality of Reddit comments today looks like the quality of Digg in the past and when Reddit's successor appears then the quality will drop to that of Youtube.

[–]GaSSyStinkiez 6 points7 points ago

Evolution has nothing to do with sexism. In fact, evolution is probably largely to blame for it.

So evolution has a lot to do with sexism.

[–]InRustITrust 0 points1 point ago

I should clarify, since that doesn't make sense. It is probably the root of sexist thinking (the significant differences between the genders), but it is not a measure of "how evolved" anything is (that phrase is nonsensical, but people do seem to see evolution as if there were some ideal which species are evolving towards, though that is not a correct way to view evolution). There isn't any way to "evolve past" sexism if the characteristics that make the genders different don't go away and there are no selective pressures on our species to cause that to happen. We have to change sexism using social interaction and education, rather than hoping that somehow evolution will swoop in from the wings and save us from it.

Edit: I should probably have written "Evolution is not going to solve sexism."

[–]Rekel 4 points5 points ago

The word evolution has more meanings than just biological evolution

I'm think it's even more crazy that they used a Mexican girl on the cover. Sexist AND racist.

[–]Tastygroove 9 points10 points ago

They also made this in blue and yellow. My boy played with it (received for second birthday) until there was nothing left. We still have the hand broom and dust pan. Cried when we had to trash it.

[–]justinbarnhill 6 points7 points ago

honestly...my daughter has this (rec'd as a gift) and she loves it.

she sees me sweep just as often as her mother and doesn't really assign a gender role to "sweeping", she just sees it as something grown ups do and she wants to help.

[–]mossdale 2 points3 points ago

Yep, we got the blue one too, after our son saw it at his cousins' house and loved it. Now both he and his little sister play with it.

[–]ChristopherT 114 points115 points ago

There's one at my Dollar General, right next to a toy vacuum cleaner that let's you play "Just like mommy!"

[–]white_n_mild 0 points1 point ago

Fucking dollar general. I used to work there NEVER get the Dollar general brand anything everytime I did it was a cheap piece of shit that fell apart or didn't work.... And fresh food, DON'T get fresh food at Dollar General, they don't have consistent practice and if the manager sucks or there's an off day you could be getting spoiled milk etc.

[–]thescrapplekid 8 points9 points ago

I work with Hotel Housekeepers... you don't want to deal with the shit they have to put up with

[–]TotallyAnAltAccount -2 points-1 points ago

I know, one time I was in a hotel and I was really horny so I poured lube onto my dick and put my dick between the mattress and the frame of the bed I fucked it really hard until I came. When I lifted the mattress there was a terrific spray of semen and blood, I had cut my dick so bad it had bled profusely. The sight of this made me vomit all over the side of the mattress.

I started to panic but I quickly decided that it was ok, I was gone the next day and they didn't have any of my details.

So I decided to go full on with thrashing the room. I covered as much of it with semen, blood, vomit and shit. I wrote passages from the bible on the walls with a mixture I created using the desk as a surface and the complimentary toothbrush to paint. I showered myself off and left my last bit of shit in the shower.

I left very early the next morning but I wish I could have been there to see the maids reaction.

Whatchyu talkin bout Barrett? Shit like this is what "the rest of the world" is selling TO us. I sincerely doubt it was even designed by an American, if it was I want to send them off on a rogue piece of ice.

[–]cbarrett1989 2 points3 points ago

Took me by surprise for a moment. I havent been called Barrett since my army days. Still though I hope no one ever buys this for any child. Talk about aiming high...

[–]sheep_shagger 11 points12 points ago

This is great, teaching children responsibility at a young age. I'd buy this for my kids.

[–]knock_harder 2 points3 points ago

Only your daughters, though. FOR GIRLS ONLY!

[–]darkside17 5 points6 points ago

My 2 year old daughter has this but instead of a bucket it has a vacuum cleaner. She loves it!

[–]armauld 6 points7 points ago

My sons would love this too.

[–]redCatNYC 2 points3 points ago

Too bad it clearly says, "For girls only."

[–]armauld 1 point2 points ago

It's okay, we're a bunch of badasses 'round here.

I agree that the "Girls Only" brand name sucks but as a parent of 3, I can tell you that sometimes, for a 2-3 y.o, vacuuming or brooming is the SHIT!

[–]Vetkoekie 6 points7 points ago

I made my husband promise me that we'll never buy one of these for our baby girl. I'd rather buy her a Nerf gun from the boys' toy isle

This is the most popular girls' toy in Mexico right now.

The boys' version is "My home meth lab" which is doing equally well.

[–]thebluebook 5 points6 points ago

this isn't wtf at all...

[–]CockLordTheVagSlayer 2 points3 points ago

I still can't believe that young girls are marketed to in such a manner this day and age.

I thought we had made progress.

[–]nancyfuqindrew 1 point2 points ago

Bought our daughter a train set for Christmas... she loves it. On the box it says "For Boys!" as though girls could not possibly enjoy trains.

[–]SirPlus 1 point2 points ago

The problem with progress is that we now have both genders knowing little about how to do housework.

[–]pyjamaparts 1 point2 points ago

I don't see any issue with this (aside from the 'Girls Only', that's a bit dodgy). Kids learn through adults and what to replicate what they see us do. In the first year of primary school (aged 5ish), I remember having free play options where parents would donate cereal boxes, empty cleaning bottles etc and we would play 'Checkout'. There was even a little cash register with fake money from memory. I thought it was great fun regardless of gender.

[–]Honkypunch 0 points1 point ago

How bout it doesn't matter people. Wow! People get hung up on the stupidest things. At the age that these toys are intended for these kids don't care. Get over it overly sensitive people and lets deal with some real problems.

Edit: Also I think that would be a great meme "Overly Sensitive Girl or Guy"

[–]mattmcinnis 0 points1 point ago

Why is this wtf? Little kitchens, workbenches etc have been around forever, kids love imitating adults. I wish my brother had this as a child maybe he'd actually remember to clean up after himself once in a while.

[–]diygrrl 1 point2 points ago

Just because something had always been does not necessarily mean it needs to continue to be. Where is the littlest professor playset?

[–]mattmcinnis 0 points1 point ago

Probably in the same aisle as the pink and purple doctor playsets. I'm sure there are some teacher/science related play sets as well. They market all of these products for boys and girls.

[–]TDHlawyer 0 points1 point ago

[–]EnteQuack 0 points1 point ago

[–]punk-geek 0 points1 point ago

I was really hoping to see someone explain how this was made by an artist to comment on gender roles and inequality in modern society. Nope. Just a company marketing to a janitorial job to little girls, because fuck ambitions if you tell them they can be astronauts they might be disappointed in the future.

grumble. grumble. grumble. Sigh. When I have a daughter I am getting her a chemistry set and a drum kit, and dolls if she wants dolls she can have dolls or cars or pink princess stuff too, if she wants.

[–]JoeCamel3000 0 points1 point ago

I love trolleys, but I hate how sexist this is...

[–]Hank-Grizzly 0 points1 point ago

What I find weird is that you find that WTF worthy, but not toy departments in general. I work at a big shop, and the toys are split into toys and girls toys. on the one side you have all this awesome stuff (Nerf guns, yo-yos, Transformers, science sets), and then on the other side its all ponies, toy ovens, cleaning trolleys, other toy chores, and it all has to be pink. Even the dressup is skewed. Boys have doctor, fireman, policeman, etc, and girls have fairies, princesses and beauticians. Why do we force all this shit on kids? And it is forced. I encounter on a daily basis parents taking toys from their kids hands saying "No, thats for boys!" or "No, thats pink!" (If a boy picks it up). So why does society force traditional gender roles on kids from birth?

Is the quality of toys getting shittier and shittier? I was a 90's boy and I remember my mom got me a kitchen set to play with. It wasn't pink, it was yellow and blue and white, and it was that tough plastic.

It seems like world trade has further refined what will sell and what is cheap to make with this pink sexist shit. It's least common denominator anymore and we're no longer better for it.

Pink girls toys are pretty harmless at the end of the day, our daughter had a huge range of toys and we just let her work out what she enjoyed the most.

It's fun to copy a parent and feel helpful and that interaction, whatever the shared act may be it's still the best thing for any child. So for everything bad that can be said about this one toy, at least it's not a DVD.

(She's now 11, addicted to minecraft & learning her way around redstone, huge retro gamer and recently sold all her pink toys to put towards a bike.)
