Boys like to Cook Too.

  
 "When Pope saw her little brother, Gavyn, trying to cook a tortilla on top of a light bulb in a lamp, she decided he needed an oven of his own. ("I honestly do not know where he got that idea," she says of the lightbulb-cooking.) But the Easy-Bake, she says, is too cutesy. “Boys are not featured in packaging or promotional materials,” she says in her petition. “And the oven comes in gender-specific hues: purple and pink. I feel that this sends a clear message: women cook, men work ... I want my brother to know that it's not ‘wrong’ for him to want to be a chef.”"

  1. "Boys are not featured in packaging or promotional materials" - problem

    "And the oven comes in gender-specific hues: purple and pink" - i'm a bit torn as to whether this is a problem. strangely, it is entirely possible for four and five year old boys to like things regardless of color.
