A redheaded mother entered the living room to find her wife looking pensive as she watched their twin daughters playing with their various dolls.

"What's up sweetie?" she asked, sitting next to her wife on the couch. The blonde shrugged and rested her head on the redhead's shoulder.

"I'm just a bit worried that their dolls are sending the wrong messages," she admitted. "The toys our children play with are reinforcing stereotypes that I'm not sure are healthy and well-adjusted."

"Barbie's cool, 'cuz her boots are stylish and affordable!" their petite blonde daughter proclaimed.

"My slut-bomb Bratz are cooler, 'cuz they've all got see-through tops!" their brash brunette daughter countered.

The girls' mothers exchanged a doubtful look.

The next day...

"Girls, I've got presents for you!" the redhead called from the hallway. Both daughters came running, followed by their other mother, who peered curiously into the bag the redhead was carrying.

"You got them?" she asked quietly. The redhead nodded, and pulled out a collection of She-Ra (tm) action figures, which the two handed to their daughters.

"Yay!" both girls exclaimed, tearing open their new toys.

"Tara's strong and kind as well!" the young brunette proclaimed happily.

"Willow lives in harmony with nature!" the young blonde chimed in. Both mothers looked on proudly as their daughters raced to the living room to explore the positive social qualities of their armfuls of action figures.

"Plus," the redhead added in a whisper to her wife, "I got a few things for us to play with, once they're asleep tonight..." The blonde glanced into her wife's shopping bag, blushed, and smiled.
