Not everyone thinks the way your first respondent does. I’m approximately the same age, from a similar country, and I happen to like action films and spy novels and playing with Legos. Social conventions will allow a girl these freedoms. Anyone who is afraid to play with a Gameboy for fear it will label them has something wrong with their priorities. But kids want to fit in, and it’s only later in life that most people realize it isn’t necessary to fit a model. Get the kid what you think the kid will like, and let them grow. I know plenty of girls who grew up with Tetris and Super Mario Brothers, and it hasn’t done anything bad to them. I can’t answer why boys don’t play with dolls — if they are encouraged to play with girls, they play ‘house’ or variants just fine. Social conventions, like the draft being for men only, I guess.
