Sexist "girly" Legos.

Jan 07, 2012 08:32

I find it very annoying that Lego has created new, different (and oddly sized) sets "for girls" that focus on 'girly things' (with a slight nod to 'girls can do the things that boys do too' in their "invention workshop") instead of incorporating more females into their usual size and professions/recreational activities and adding these ones to it. I think it sends the message that girls should only play with the different ones...but I've had a long standing beef with Lego's sexism (wrote the company a letter when I was 7 :P).

I posted that on January 1st...and today saw this article agreeing with me. :)
