Mary the House-Wife

History Daily

Talk about the most stereotypical misogynistic toy anyone could give to little girls at a young age. Aside from calling it “Mary the House-Wife,” the fact that it’s laden with things that suggest what a woman’s work is going to be when they become housewives makes it even worse. There’s an apron, a frying pan, a mop, a pail and soap, amongst other items used for cleaning. Not that there is anything wrong with a woman wanting to be a housewife if that’s her choice, but these predetermined expectations of what little girls are supposed to do when they finally marry would never fly today.
