[quote=Anonymous]I think the goal there is to make the clothes disposable, to boost sales. At least from my daughter's closet, few of these items last as long as we need them, and we won't pass it on to other children. In turn, we buy more new. Multiply that effect by billions of items from many millions of children/families and these things keep the consumer economy moving... but at what cost? And on a similar note: Why does EVERYTHING have to be gendered, including safety gear? I went to Target today and they didn't have one gender-neutral helmet. Wanted a plain one so son and daughter would use the same one, but the stock was either frozen, unicorns, dinosaurs, hot pink, etc.[/quote]
