Disney Princesses. Barbie. "Princess" and "Ballerina" Dora.

Tell toy manufacturers enough is enough: "I'm not buying princess culture!"   Parents want toys that are appealing across genders, challenging and intellectually stimulating, and that do not reinforce superficial or subservient stereotypes.
