If the dykish moms don’t like it they don’t have to buy it.

“Hey Lego!” shouted one commenter on the company’s Facebook page. “I’m a girl and I don’t like your new Lego Friends set. I think it promotes ridiculous gender stereotypes that damage little girls everywhere. “We like Star Wars, Harry Potter, space ships and explosions, too, not just salons, cafes and drinks by the pool. Some of us want to grow up to be engineers, not manicurists.”

I would say: "Hey, little girl, then wait till we come out with our engineering set or play with the sets we already have! Normal little girls should have a choice too!" Gees!

It’s funny how none of the people who are angry about this are little girls.

That’s because they haven’t been indoctrinated (yet).

This is one time that the marketplace will decide if Lego made the correct move or not.

Good article. I find it interesting that there is such a gap in boys’ and girls’ reaction to Legos. Hopefully Legos’ research will payoff this time.

I believe that Pepto-Bismol, because it is pink, promotes ridiculous gender stereotypes that damage heterosexual males everywhere and reinforces the old socialist shibboleth that only females are in need of nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach and diarrhea relief.

Pepto-Bismol should be the color of bile.

I have one thing to say about this year's lego sets:

Yes, seriously DO WANT.

Boys get to have toys in any color but pink and purple and pastels. Girls can’t have toys in any color but pink and purple and pastels.

Yes, there are exceptions, but go down the girls aisles in the toy stores and check.

My son is deep into LEGO Ninjago. It’s kind of scary how well LEGO has understood the minds of young boys. They probably know what they’re doing with these girl toys.

I’m a fan of Lego — and Lincoln Logs and other classic toys for boys, which I never was.
Toys these days, meh! Saw a trivia game in the store the other day, called, “FACT OR CRAP.” Bills itself as “trivia with attitude.” I call it culture with coarsening. :(
Buy the old stuff online, it’s better, cleaner, and made in the USA. Or go to the flea market.
Play chess, checkers, poker, Scrabble.
Buy the little girl in your life a nice pink air gun! Trains are cool too — build a model railroad, with a few villages here and there.
Pick up an art set and and old Bob Ross video.
If she’s really, really a GIRL...buy her a rock polisher! She can build her own jewelry :)

In my opinion, Legos are the best toys in the world! They can be enjoyed by a child at any age and by parents as well. They are virtually indestructible. They are also a toy that encourages creativity. I think it is great that Legos are being marketed for girls now.

I’m not sue I see the problem here. If she wants to play with regular Lego models and pieces - DO IT. The new ones are for those who don’t want to play with what’s already out there. Sheesh!

Seems this woman was just sitting in her room looking for something to be offended by so she could wave her arms and throw a tantrum.
