For the last couple decades, parents have been generally getting away from enforcing stereotypical toys. There are few realistic toy guns around any more, fewer toy guns in general, and more parents avoiding giving their kids toy guns (and they are banned in schools, etc). That hasn't stopped many boys from making guns out of legos, sticks, or a doll that can be bent into an L shape.
I know someone who gives their son a feminine present every year at Christmas, and their daughter a masculine present. They immediately trade.

Or dolls. And if more girls like playing with dolls than trucks, it isn't because society told them they were not allowed to like trucks.
