"Girl" things are still considered inferior to "guy" things even today in this so-called modern society we live in. I can wear pants and no one thinks, "Ooo, she looks like a dude!" just because of that, but if a guy wants to wear a dress it's still considered by many to be "wrong". It's the same for almost any thing else, a little girl might like to play baseball and everyone thinks that's great, but a boy wants to play with dolls and it's homophobia alert. "Girl's" dolls generally encourage nurturing and love, if a boy behaves that way what's so wrong with it? I used to play with action figures and not just dolls, and my parents didn't have a problem with it.
