    It’s not the same but boys of my generation did play with superhero / military dolls, and some of the play scenarios could get quite elaborate.

    But I suppose the dolls didn’t represent regular everyday people, so there was less playing with domestic or relatable scenarios.

        Not sure why you deleted this, I was hoping to reply to it. I want to apologise for projecting. I didn’t think of the action figures I grew up with as real dolls until later in life.

        I still think they can be a little 1 dimensional, but that’s because of how they’re marketed, socialized, etc

          I honestly thought I was being too harsh and you didn’t deserve that for just trying to perspective take and share with me.

          It’s important that boys play with girl dolls so they can understand the boundaries between a girl’s body and a doll’s body. It’s okay to dress up a doll, it’s not okay to dress up a girl for instance.
