Target Ditching Girls' and Boys' Labels on Toys

The days of girls' toys and boys' toys are over—from now on they're all just toys, at least at Target. The company says it will be getting rid of all gender-based signs in its toy sections in the coming months, Time reports. Pink and blue shelves are going, too. Similar changes will be rolled out in other departments, including bedding. According to a Target press release, the changes are coming after "guests raised important questions" about such distinctions. Two months ago, an Ohio woman tweeted a photo of a Target sign that differentiated "building sets" and "girls' building sets" that went viral, Time reports. (More Target stories.)
