pretend food is easier to cook

would I be introducing my daughter to a lifetime of gender-stereotyped, june cleaverish, “women belong in the kitchen” sort of anti-feminist expectations if I bought her the pink retro kitchen set from pottery barn kids? I secretly (or perhaps not so secretly, now that I am telling all of you) want it for myself. a pretend kitchen seems like it would be so much more fun (not to mention easier to clean) than my real kitchen.
