McDonalds Steriotypes

I love superheros. I love the guys that are morally incorruptable, can leap buildings in a single bound, have a secret identity, and basically are just perfect. McDonalds now has superhero figures in their happy meals and I think it's great. Who doesn't love Wolverine?

Unfortunately, everytime I go to order a happy meal with the superheros in it, they ask me if I want a boy toy or a girl toy. I want a girl toy. I want little figures of superheros. I don't need strangly shaped kittens or puppies. I have real kittens and puppies. But if I say "Girl Toy" they are going to think I want the wierd pink animals. Is it ungirllike to like superheros?

I think it's great that they have choices. People come in all different shapes and sizes with different interests, but why can't they ask me, "Do you want a superhero or a pet thing?" Wouldn't that question be more appropriate.

I understand that mostly it's boys that like the superheros. That's great. Boys can like them for their reasons, I'll like them for mine.
