Sweden's new 'gender-neutral' Christmas catalog is all the PC rage

11/26/2012

Who's the best at riling up the PC-hatin' wagon? Sweden, of course! The Nordic country famed for its chilly nights and propensity toward political correctness is now the home of a new toy catalog featuring little girls with machine guns and boys holding dolls and unsurprisingly, the pamphlet is already receiving backlash. Though many have lauded Top Toy's catalog for breaking down gender stereotypes (Sweden is, after all, the same country that proposed a new single gender-neutral pronoun 'hen' to replace 'he' and 'she'), others have called it silly or unnecessary, and even criticizing the image of a gun-wielding girl as violent. Scroll through the images above to sample some of the catalog's pics. [Source]
