5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful gift for every little boxer 26 Feb 2009
Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
It's crucial in every boys education to provide robust and carefully chosen words that will re-enforce his manhood, and make him feel like a sporting king.

I was particularly relieved that the set excludes any words that might relate to any form of intellectual pursuit or emotion (other than fear). I also felt that the inclusion of the word "Money" was a very important distinguishing feature, which is correctly absent from the Magnetic Girls Talk.

We certainly wouldn't want the next generation of men to miss the chance to learn about their true responsibilities.

In fact a direct mapping between the Girls and Boys really does highlight quite how accurately the male-female divide is represented in the 21st century:

clothes = boots
heart = monster
love = scary
sparkle = bones
friends = car
etc.

Indigo Worldwide Limited should be commended for this superb range of gender-defining educational tools.

1.0 out of 5 stars How utterly ridiculous 11 Dec 2009
Durability: 1.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 1.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 1.0 out of 5 stars   
I am aghast at the ridiculousness of this concept - and for the girls one too - how tragic that now even words aren't safe from being stereotyped. Nasty.

3.0 out of 5 stars I may just cry. 19 Feb 2011
By Donnam
Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 1.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
My daugher was given a set of these as a gift, she's a good reader and loves playing with magnetic words to build sentances and play with the words. I was horrifed at the concept of teaching kids as young as 5 different gender specific words so logged onto to see what words she may have got if the gift giver had chosen the girls word selection. "Sparkle" "hairband" and "cooking" - just what I've always wanted my 5 year old to aspire to in life!! At least with the boys set she can learn such words as "monster" "money" and boots!!

I love the idea of magnetic words - and even themed sets would be fine - but please please please get rid of the pink and blue sets.
