Word of the day

Unisex

Yes this it the right word, but it sure looks funny! Also, have you noticed how gendered Lego has gotten?

Unisex is trying to describe the lack of gender (or sex) of the thing, perhaps? (But ... English. I don't actually expect words that describe, or seem to be trying to describe, the same space of thing to work in any sensible parallel way.)

It feels like legos are turning into 3D jigsaw puzzles. I imagine the kits do provide practice and ideas for people who want to design their own.
