Have Yourself a Sexist Little Christmas

Ah, the holidays. A time filled with so many rant-worthy subjects!

I got a book catalog in the mail, advertising wonderful holiday presents, conveniently divided into “for him” and “for her” sections. For him, why not buy a book about war, sports, cars, or science? And for her, naturally there are books on cooking and gardening, with one thrown in about animals, since women love cute itty-bitty animals! Women would never want to read about science or, gasp, sports, and why should men learn anything about plants or baking?

How is it that even in this day and age, even presents are still sexist?
