This is the message every little girl in our society learns from an early age. Boys play with action figures, girls play with dolls. Tell me that's not still true for most children in America.
Don't you think that has some effect on both genders as they grow up? Crimes like rape have been shown to correlate with the power inequality between genders (ie. the less power women have than men in your society, the more likely they are to be raped). Similarly, things like pay disparities have also been shown to come from men being more aggressive than women.
Don't you think having toys and video games that teach little girls they too can be aggressive, dominant, and strong would help?
