California is facing a crime crisis across its major cities, a population exodus driven by high taxes and woke policies, and a host of other thorny problems.
Naturally, Golden State lawmakers opted to focus on the urgent issue of not enough gender-neutral toys.
Yes, California retail stores with more than 500 employees will soon face fines for failing to offer “gender-neutral” toy sections, thanks to a law kicking in Jan. 1.
Makes perfect sense!
Aside from the fact that nothing now stops any parent from buying any kid any toy (in the family price range) he or she wants.
Indeed, thanks to online retail, no parent ever has to set foot in a toy store.
The fact is, gendered marketing for toys seems to bother whiny adults in deep-blue states far more than it does actual kids.
Yes, little girls generally like to play with dolls and such, and little boys generally like to play with trucks and toy guns. Yet plenty of kids march to the beat of their own drums; all their needs are easily met thanks to the wonders of market capitalism.
And plenty of toys are already as gender-neutral as it gets.

This law will do nothing — literally zip, zilch, nada — to solve any actual problems.
Indeed: The same progressive overclass whose policies are destroying Cali’s retail sector via effectively legalized shoplifting now wants to ensure Xi’s Own Mermaid Astronaut Junior Science Kits get primo shelf placement before thugs shovel them into garbage bags and run.
Consider it history’s lamest Xmas present, courtesy of state legislators high on lefty narcissism and utterly divorced from the grim realities facing the voters they “represent.”
