"How Rude"

Recently I have been watching Full House on Nick at Night every night before I go to bed. I have always considered Full House to be one of my all time favorite shows. 



On Wednesday night I was watching an episode and realized a very sexist attitude. In this episode, Uncle Jesse was fighting with his wife Rebecca over what toys their twin sons Nicky and Alex should play with. Rebecca gave Nicky and Alex a girl baby doll which made Jesse furious. On the other hand, Jesse gave his sons monster trucks and action figures because he felt that these toys were better for the boys. When Jesse explained to Rebecca why he gave this toys to Nicky and Alex, he said that boys must have boy toys and girls must have girl toys. In other words, Nicky and Alex should not be playing  with a girl toy because it might affect them later in life. A very sexist you think? 

What do you think? Do you think Jesse or Rebecca was right in this argument?
