Wtf are you even on about?
Who cares if a company does or doesn’t use the word boy in their toy lines specifically. You’d have to be living under a rock not to realise the difference between usually male orientated toys and usually female oriented toys. And what boy automatically thinks their manliness diminished if marketing companies don’t use the word boy in their lines?
Are you trolling, good sir? Because this is reading like a parody at this point.
Does the word GIRL even need to be printed on the box of a female doll in a pretty pink dress?
Apparently in 1915, a certain magazine press, The Sprague Publishing Co. of Detroit, Michigan from November 1899 to August 1941, thought the word BOY was important in the title
of their periodical,
The American Boy. Pictured on the covers were men and boys doing various male things like hunting, boating, fishing, playing baseball, playing football, playing horseback polo, beating a drum dressed like a soldier, playing fetch with big dogs, being dressed like business executives in suits and ties, riding horses in cowboy hats, and flying in spaceships.
Remember, the magazine was called
The American Boy, not the
American Kid or the
American Child.
Its seems like the male sex was more connected with HIS maleness back in older times. These times are cutting off our manhood parts and making our voices higher apparently.
