New Jersey teen asked McKenna to use boys on packaging for Easy - Way Ultimate Ovens . McKenna also says packaging discourages boys from baking , enforces gender stereotypes . Pope , 13 , signed Change.org petition on behalf of 4-year - old brother who asked for the toy . `` People are recognizing that the divisions being created are n't necessary and it just makes more sense to be sorting toys thematically rather than by gender , '' said Danckaert , founder of `` A Mighty Girl , '' an online marketplace for books and movies that feature females as main characters . Activists glad that a teen is standing up rather than usual advocates and opinion writers .
