The Little Lady Electric Stove

History Daily

Once again, a gender-specific toy that was not only sold for little girls, but was named the Little Lady Electric Stove precisely so that young girls could learn to cook from a young age. It was another example of a sexist toy that mean to put women in their place, the kitchen. And to make it even worse, this stove could actually reach temperatures of at least 500 degrees. At least that way, little girls would know what they would be facing when the day actually came when they would marry and get stuck at home slaving over a stove all day long right? Toy companies still make stoves up to this day but there is no way that they actually heat up, or two, do they have gender specific names.
