Well, it seems that we're [1] not the only country to have this side of TLG
exposed...For an earlier example of this policy of TLG towards 'Boy' and
'Girl' toys, as distinct from childrens toys, have a look at:

tml
or for the text component of the catalogue:

Seems the innocent world of ABS is experiencing sexism...Maybe there'll be
'female' minifigs out soon burning their printing :) [well, I can't see any
other way they could protest...this is the only form of 'clothing' most of
them have.]
[1] Referring to Australia seeing something from TLG before the rest of the
world does...pity this doesn't also happen with sets :(
