You would think. That's what I thought when I worked in a toy store -- "those parents must only give their son/daughter...." And, of course, having only one kind of toy leads you to want the same things.
But to various extents, some boys will gravitate towards traditional boy toys, and some girls towards girl toys, regardless of what they already have. I've also seen infants, who were too young for their toys to be very much different, gravitate towards older-kid toys in the same way. It's weird.
