V Tech’s Disney Princess Magical Learning Laptop Vs. McQueen Learning Laptop from VTech

Let’s see who can spot the bullshit from the following descriptions:

V Tech’s Disney Princess Magical Learning Laptop toy combines learning and role-play fun featuring every girl’s favorite Princesses. Cinderella, Snow White, Belle and Aurora lead the way to learn letters, letter order, emotions, numbers, counting, addition, subtraction, manners, matching and more. V Tech’s toy laptop includes a magic key to open a secret drawer, a heart-shaped cursor mouse, LCD screen and full working Qwerty keyboard.

AND

McQueen Learning Laptop from VTech®. Shaped like the Lightning McQueen character , and featuring the best-loved characters from Cars 2, this laptop will take your child on a learning adventure featuring 30 activities that teach letters, words, math and logic. A QWERTY keyboard and tire-shaped mouse add an additional element of fun and mimic a real grown-up laptop.

Because girls should learn emotions and manners and because they had to describe what math was by saying “numbers, counting addition, subtraction” instead of just saying MATH.

Now the McQueen doesn’t say “just for boys” but one would assume that because Disney is so gendered, that this would be the “boy” one. The boys get to go on a “learning adventure” and get to learn logic in order to be a REAL “grown-up.”

I spotted out these differences while I was working the other day browsing the Disney merchandise. Disgusting.
