SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California could soon force large department stores to display some child products in gender neutral ways after the state Legislature passed a bill on Wednesday aimed at getting rid of traditional pink and blue marketing schemes for items like toys and toothbrushes. The bill would not outlaw traditional boys and girls sections in department stores, but it would require retailers to have a gender neutral section to display “a reasonable selection” of items “regardless of whether they have been traditionally marketed for either girls or for boys.” The bill would only apply to department stores with 500

"The bill would only apply to department stores with 500 or more employees,
so most small businesses would be exempt."

Its nice to know that in a state with severe water restriction laws that are killing central valley agriculture and raising prices for food. radical energy restriction laws that prevent access to abundant oil and nuclear power and raise energy prices, radical rent control, land use restrictions, and home construction regulations that make home ownership unaffordable for all but the wealthiest, and rampant homelessness, crime, and drug use in major cities that are driving out businesses and raising unemployment that our legislators still have the time for important legislation like this.
This is the kind of idiocy you get with one party oligarchy controlled government.

When my kids were little, they wore hand-me-downs plus we lived in the country. That meant t-shirts, sweatshirts, jeans and tennis shoes - not designer clothing or trendy stuff. It was all gender neutral. Winter coats were Carharts, again didn't matter if the child was male or female - it kept them warm. If the idjits today want so-called gender neutral, maybe they need to go back to the "good ol days" of farm / country folks.

They just want to run every aspect of our life and business. They are the socialists who think they know everything.

The fans will love it when the NFL cheerleader teams adopt gender neutral uniforms.

Here's an idea. Let the stores display what they think their customers would most like to buy.

It’s only the kooks that seek gender neutral displays - not all in CA. If you can’t tell the difference your an idiot.

How nice that California is such a paradise without any problems that the legislature can involve itself in PRIVATE sector marketing displays

How about Mao jackets and Hilary Clinton tent coats? Those are pretty gender neutral...and communist-appropriate.

"Gender neutral" isn't a real thing. There isn't a single gender neutral person on planet Earth.
EVERYONE is either a male or a female, regardless of whatever 'let's pretend' games they want to play.

Californians fiddle while their State deteriorates and burns and rots from within. There are those glittering centers of fabulous wealth and privilege, the motley rabble doesn't bother them, they barely acknowledge their existence, and they don't even raise a supercilious eyebrow... that would show too much concern.

Dames wearing Dudes clothes and white “men”with creamy smooth hands will wear female style! Sweet! Oh no! I have a callus on my hand from using my tools? Is there a product that might hide these! I really need to.conform and fit in! It’s all that matters, right?

I say " Go for it"! They will find out what Target found out, or the NFL or NBA found out. Customers will let them know what they like and don't like. This is not a Gender Neutral Country! Only a Few Kooks think Gender Neutral is a "Thing". We should not let a FEW rule over the MAJORITY! Vote with your Pocketbook! Money Talks. Don't shop at Stores that are "Woke"! Write them a Letter and let them know WHY you are no longer a Customer. When they get hundreds and hundreds of Letters or e-mails, they will have to re-think their Displays!!

So what is 'gender neutral'? All gray, off-white, and beige clothing? I can already imagine complaints that the gender neutral section is not good enough. It sounds like a set-up to generate lawsuits.
