Yeah, the one gendered-toy thing that happened in my household was that my mom would NOT, no matter what, let me have any Barbies. I was totally bummed out.
(Other than that, favorite toys growing up included dump trucks and model horses. I never did see growing up any boxes put around me due to gender -- whether they weren't there or I just didn't see them, I don't know. Actually the only place I've noticed them is in my current job, surrounded by normal people.)
