That's one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is to consider how much those parents were willing to spend in their quest to raise their daughters properly. By properly I of course mean properly feminine and maternal. The big (i.e expensive to craft) toys were generally heavily gender defining: train sets and bicycles for the boys, dollshouses and prams for the girls.
