Do you think it is sexist that society does not encourage non-fighting dolls for boys?

I was watching this video, and it got me thinking:

Evidently, the reason that boys are not as well socialized is because only fighting dolls are available for boys, and that such boys grow up to be men that are not properly socialized, so society should encourage boys to play with dolls that require a caretaker, rather than a warlord, attitude.

my opinion: So what's next? Give boys estrogen so they grow teats?

Terrible. Give a boy innocuous toys like that, he'd find ways to amuse himself by means of violence, such as decapitating toy's head and arms. I have been finding enjoyment in seeing things explode since young age. Pretty sure many men here do as well.

Blech. What's that nasty taste in my tongue that is modern society.
