The Cult of California
Sorry for my language but california is the definition of all fucked up. I would never live there. I'm staying in Texas where things still make sense
This is the ridiculous Democratic party at it's worst.
To fine w store for that is insane....
Ordering a store what they can sell and how to sell it...
Screw that...
If you don't like what they have....
Then don't buy from there...
That's what normal people do
How is it American freedom to force businesses to do this?
Freedom is a lie. We are all a slave to the mighty Dollar
0:20 If its American freedom, why does the law say how to organize toys in your toy store?
Because leftists are uneducated idiots.
According to the law (which was signed back in 2021 to be effective 1/1/24) "(a) Unjustified differences in similar products that are traditionally marketed either for girls or for boys can be more easily identified by the consumer if similar items are displayed closer to one another in one, undivided area of the retail sales floor.
(b) Keeping similar items that are traditionally marketed either for girls or for boys separated makes it more difficult for the consumer to compare the products and incorrectly implies that their use by one gender is inappropriate." In other words, girls can play with 'boy's' toys, and boys can play with 'girl's' toys, don't limit the kid's choices of what they want to play with.
This is some twilight zone type of shit! 😮
Clean up on aisle "gender neutral"...
California is sickening
Nothing says free country or democracy like endless invasive top down laws to affect every aspect of your life or business.
Uhmm, as a kid I never thought about toys ever being in a section. Like what section are the teddy bears in?
I think that's the point of the law. Big retailers now separate 'boys' aisles from 'girls' aisles to get the kids to choose quicker and sell more. Retailers don't want the boy wasting time looking at the 'girl' toys because they're not likely to choose them anyway. Limit the choices to make the sale. Marketing 101.
This is a violation of the constitutional rights of business owners and it should be challenged.
American freedom = do exactly as I say or we will extort you....
There are two toy sections. Boys and girls. Stop the BS.
For those old enough to remember, that wasn't always true. But with so many more toys out there, big retailers created two different sections to maximize sales. Don't have the boys or girls waste time looking at toys they're not as likely to want. Limit choices, it's Marketing 101. According to the text of AB1084 (passed in 2021 to be effective 1/1/24) "(a) Unjustified differences in similar products that are traditionally marketed either for girls or for boys can be more easily identified by the consumer if similar items are displayed closer to one another in one, undivided area of the retail sales floor.
(b) Keeping similar items that are traditionally marketed either for girls or for boys separated makes it more difficult for the consumer to compare the products and incorrectly implies that their use by one gender is inappropriate."
Now there are 3
To the woman who claimed this law is “American Freedom”: how is fining people who don’t comply with your gender confusion “freedom”?
Amen!!! That’s why we here in Alabama still support segregation. Why should we be forced to sell black people toys!?! We don’t like their kind and we shouldn’t be forced to sell their products or even allow them in!!!
What a moron 😂
how the fuck is defining how you sell toys "Freedom"??? This woman is batshit crazy!
I’m sick of our stupid ass priorities. Fuck this.
As a California citizen it's sickening that we're more worried about toy inclusion then criminals and cleaning up the streets filled with homeless and drug addicts 🤢
We're not. Law passed in 2021 with an effective date of 1/1/24. Big retailers are already in compliance. Per the text of the law, they passed it because: "(a) Unjustified differences in similar products that are traditionally marketed either for girls or for boys can be more easily identified by the consumer if similar items are displayed closer to one another in one, undivided area of the retail sales floor.
(b) Keeping similar items that are traditionally marketed either for girls or for boys separated makes it more difficult for the consumer to compare the products and incorrectly implies that their use by one gender is inappropriate."
In other words, big retail had been separating boys toys from girls toys to increase sales. Why waste a boys time looking at toys they're not as likely to want, and vice versa. Eliminate choices, it's Marketing 101.
AMEN!!!! This is ridiculous!!! Clean up California streets!!! Leave the toy section alone!!!
You voted for it!! Stop voting as you can see it makes no difference at all.
@@georgemalley6414 You sound stupid thinking I voted for this. Me living in California doesn't equate to liberal votes dumbass. It's called a "vote."
We living in the last days they trying too get too the kids early and earlier
Exactly.
Get to them with toys?
Utterly ridiculous When political agendas reach your toy store... Toys are for children and kids. Do a child really care about Gender-neutr
They wanna erase every trace of culture and tradition nothing else.
Who gets to decide what toys are gender neutral?
The government who else? This is "Freedom" yeeeeeeeeeh
'The retailer. They just need to put 'boys' toys and 'girls' toys in the same aisle, which they moved away from over the years to increase sales.
@@harlanjackson6112 Unless the retailer stated what toys are for "boys and girls", how do you define it? By color? I don't see how this law can be enforced. Is the government going to say Barbies are "girl toys"?
@@MadeYouSad No, and I think that's the point of AB 1084. We shouldn't say Barbies are just for girls. Yet big retailers separate 'boys' toys from 'girls' toys to increase sales. Per the text: "(a) Unjustified differences in similar products that are traditionally marketed either for girls or for boys can be more easily identified by the consumer if similar items are displayed closer to one another in one, undivided area of the retail sales floor.
(b) Keeping similar items that are traditionally marketed either for girls or for boys separated makes it more difficult for the consumer to compare the products and incorrectly implies that their use by one gender is inappropriate."
@@harlanjackson6112 Good luck with that in court. The law defines "boy toys vs girls toys" as "traditionally marketed". At the same time you say "We shouldn't say Barbies are just for girls" now you have a hard time defining what is a "girls toy". The court can't even define what a woman is so good luck enforcing this law.
clown culture
I can hear the circus music from here in TN
The stupidest thing I’ve seen in a long time. They are toys!!! They are for everyone.
Exactly. But CA legislature thinks big retailers began separating boys toy aisles from girls toy aisles to increase sales. No sense having the boy waste his time looking at girls toys, and vice versa. Slows down sales. Limit choices, it's Marketing 101. So they passed AB1084 back in 2021 to take effect 1/1/24.
Just how do you make model trains gender-neutral?
The law is clearly unconstitutional. I support efforts to accommodate young people with gender dysphoria, but legislating the way stores display their goods is governmental overreach.
How dumb can it get I mean give me a BREAK😢
California should be given there independence !
This is not right. This is government telling private companies how to do their business. This is government overreach. I would take this to the all the way to the supreme court.
like we don't have other more important things to worry about 🤔🙄 LIKE CRIME OR HIGH COST OF LIVING
You people will never be satisfied.
I'm so glad I divorced California!
This country is more and more ridiculous...its quite incredible how the government is worried about such nonsense when real problems are on the rise. Disgusting and disturbing.
I'm good.
So parents could have still bought barbies for their sons but wouldn't because it was in an isle that appeals to girls. Are we this dumb now? Parents are going to buy what they want no matter the isle.
how can that lady celebrate freedom from a government imposed mandate? bizarre.
Makes me ashamed to call myself a liberal. This is totalitarian.
how is it freedom when you are making it mandatory for private businesses to do something unnecessary? that is unconstitutional and dumb.
Smh they must be bored in California to pass stupid laws like this
Satan is laughing, great job sinners !!!!!!
Gender neutral toys have around for centuries
What next? Adult aisle XXX section in store for the need of reproduction and educational purpose then handicap sections for the disable and soon mentally challenge section full of autonomy toys to increase learning.
They might as well add a whole section for the poor with big sign EBT, WIC and SNAP in all stores and enforce it or else as every poor and unhoused have right too.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, or if you really do think we should ensure children who are poor have easier access to affordable toys.
@@saramae9878 We all know the cheap and affordable toys are at the bottom of the shelf so close to the ground so the children and poor family have to stood so low to get it.
@@rollinia7770 What?
Dumbest shit I heard in a long time. Kids can pick whatever toy they want in any isle. Is this what our legislative branches find important? Have we become this stupid?
good luck doing anything in california
i thought america was a democratic country?
Y'all doing too much
So, Southern California is the boys section, Northern California is the girl's section and Central California is gender-neutral. I get it.
Can barely afford the cost of food, gas or the roof over my head but yes lets focus on gender neutral toy sections. Ok, California.
I thought gender didn’t matter? I thought colors like pink and blue had nothing to do with gender? Last I checked those aisles don’t say a gender. Why can’t boys go down the Barbie aisle and girls down the hot wheels aisle? This isn’t kids asking for this, it’s strange adults.
wacko
It’s against the law to fine the businesses!
Does this mean Macy's will no longer have a men's and women's section?
Oh boy. Clothing department next? I like how that one woman said American Freedom 😂 what the heck. The Mandate State
That's what I'm saying. Does this mean in the future, all clothing, shoes, jewelry, sunglasses, and eyeglasses all have to be gender neutral?
Come to Kansas we will show you what life is about. We will teach you life with livestock.
Are we pretending this isn't communism?
Wait- are the toys FREE? No? Not Communism. Still gotta pay for the toys, regardless of which aisle they're in.
@@harlanjackson6112 this is even worse than forcing bakeries to bake gay wedding cakes.

Under which does a gender neutral aisle fall?
@@giftedgreen2152 Really?!? By forcing big retailers to put some boys and some girls toys together in the same aisle? Hardly. AB1084 passed in 2021 to be effective 1/1/24, so I bet retailers are already in compliance. Why did they do it? According to the text: "(a) Unjustified differences in similar products that are traditionally marketed either for girls or for boys can be more easily identified by the consumer if similar items are displayed closer to one another in one, undivided area of the retail sales floor.
(b) Keeping similar items that are traditionally marketed either for girls or for boys separated makes it more difficult for the consumer to compare the products and incorrectly implies that their use by one gender is inappropriate."
In other words, big retailers began separating toys by gender to different aisles to increase sales. Why have boys or girls waste time seeing toys they're not as likely to want? Limit choices, it's Marketing 101.
I believe the next step will be to require the store to have an LGBT aisle or section. If they don't, it's not inclusive, and the store will be fined.
I think it’s going too far these days. I don’t think we should have separate sections for toys!!! If a boy wants to play with dolls fine if girls want to play with trains who cares!!! But why make it a law??? Why fine a company if they don’t wish to do this.
Can we take care of other problems like the homeless problem in CA for example. I just think it’s a bit too much you can call me a bigot if you want. I
think it should be up to the parent until a child becomes old enough to make their own choices.i just think it’s gone overboard now❤
Yes, why make a separate aisle for gender neutral toys? Just let kids buy whichever toy they want, with no judgement.
When are the California politicians going to get out of the way of retailers and parents. This is absurd.
Like that's important 🙄
Would Helen Dean like to explain how being required by the state to make changes in *your* store is freedom?
🤦🏾♀️
"Priorities!" 😂
Priorities in CA 😂😂😂
Crazy lady thinks this is what freedom is?!
My store would be closing faster than the ink dried on that Bill.
All employees fired.
Good job Democrats.
Cool story, but you're clearly not the type person who would be entrusted to oversee over 500 employees. When you get to that level you need to play the long game and think of all their livelihoods, it's not just about you.
Good God almighty, this is overkill people. What in the wide world of sports?
Hilarious................
I'm not shopping at the stores anymore for toys. It's too confusing to find what you want. I'll just buy on amazon instead.
And Dicks Sporting Goods is now called Pats.....................
😂 That state is getting more and more cocked in the head by the week. Is Pacific salt water seeping into the West Coast’s general water supply and having some kind of weird effect on political left-leaning brain structures, or something? 😂
AB 1084 (Britten's Bill) passed in 2021, with a long lead time to comply, effective 1/1/24. Big retailers (over 500 employees in CA) are already in compliance. This law was nothing more than a heads up to big CA retailers to stop sequestering the toys to all separate areas (what they marketed to boys vs what they marketed to girls). Named after Britten Sires, a 9-year-old girl who's been fighting to break down gender roles across the state. The self-proclaimed feminist said she came up with the idea for the bill when she felt awkward about entering the boy's section.
"I was like, wait, why is there a boy's section? I'm a girl, but I want to go in it," Britten said.
She noticed two main differences between the boys' and girls' departments that made her feel uncomfortable.
"Boys is more like knowledge and trying to get them smarter so they can get into a good college and get a good job, and then women's is more like makeup and cooking sets," Britten explained.
She said she now owns lots of toys and clothes from the boy's section because those were the items she liked the most.
@@UnclePumblechook Yes, and with any luck the big retailers will convince toy manufacturers to stop with the pink and blue packaging, which absolutely sends the message of who it's intended for. It should be intended for any kid that wants it without being pigeon holed into 'approved' choices. I understand marketing enough to recognize the tactic of limiting choices to speed up sales, and clearly prior to 2021 CA legislators saw the sequestering of toy displays by gender. No doubt affected retailers began complying long before today, which is the effective date of the law. But again, it was passed back in 2021.
@@UnclePumblechook Yes uncle, I'm aware. Until recently for big retailers displaying to limit choices and increase sales by having 'blue' aisles and 'pink' aisles as shown in the first two cuts of this video. Which this legislation addresses, to take things back to the old way.
Yay "freedom", lol. I don't think she knows what that word means
Hey that one of our taco 🌮 costumer’s 👋
I think it’s great!
Just making it easier for the smash and grab, brothers and sistas, for what not to steal!🤣
