My opinion is everyone should be given choice, girls or boys. Girls should be allowed to play with dolls or legos, whatever interests them. Guys should be able to play with dolls or legos too. Taking away the choices children already have is not the same as giving them new ones. You wouldn't forbid your son from playing with legos and force him to play with dolls just because boys are (in our culture, at least) less interested in them, would you?

EDIT: Fixed a simple grammatical error
