Heh, well obviously you don't want to go too far in that direction either. But the point is, there is a huge power imbalance in how we raise our boys vs. our girls, so to counter that imbalance you have to teach girls it's ok to be as dominant as the boys, and likewise boys should learn it's ok to be as submissive as the women. Which isn't to say you should teach either to be too dominant or too submissive.
Look, at the end of the day it's very simple: if toys teach kids about the world, how can you have two genders growing up with equal worldviews when they are segregated in to playing with different (unequal) toys?
