'Mr' Potato head was hardly a representation of a man. I mean, he never even had a dick. 'Mr' was always a bit of a stretch anyway. You just stuck plastic features on a genital free potato. I am surprised its still around.
My action man from the 1970's didn't have genitalia. A friend of mine, who didn't come out until the 90's, used to dress his action man in 'cindy doll' clothes and called him barbra. My action man used to frequently reject the advances of barbra.
Point is, it's really not worth getting upset about attaching or detaching a gender to lumps of potato or plastic.
