What's that magazine ya'all get? Brio, I think? Would you describe it to Kentucky, please?
Yep, Brio, but I'm not sure if it's for everyone since it is a Christian focus mag. I used to get American Girl back in the 70's and even then they talked about sex and dating and stuff like it was a good and normal thing for young girls. It was Cosmo light.
You're on late in the day!
If you want on/off the ping list let me and little jeremiah know.
They can't possibly think we'll be ok that the funds donated to an inherently political (and in my mind, evil) group will be earmarked for good purposes. Their sales will plummet. My wife was going to take our granddaughter into NYC over Christmas vacation to have tea in the AG store. But now she thinks they'll go to Radio City instead. But they could bring all these folks back if they just severed their ties with this radical, feminist group. What are they thinking?
It's so very sad, really. Who is making the decisions at that company that they would be so out of touch with their target audience?
The ultimate act of feminity is to bear children. Thus, you have an allegiance between lesbians and anti-life forces to do what they can to destroy this aspect of true womanhood.
Thanks - this is the second article about this; I'll read this one and the thread later.
Influencing children is what it's all about.
Weird school break. Grandma is getting transfused so the school day got jacked. We finished a little bit ago. I've missed talking to you!
Skulking about their site gathering intel, they also give to the United Way, IIRC, they do support many causes of the homosexual lobby as well. Come to think of it, from one Freeper's post on this topic from yesterday, maybe I ought to write a story about "Debbie Neverborn" or "Debbie Aborted" ("Neverborn" is a character from "Faithmouse," don't want to step on their toes) who was born, well she was scheduled to be born in 1973 until she was aborted. She is happy to be at home with the Lord but as time goes on Earth, Debbie can comment on what she could have been if she had lived as her mother ages and perhaps she has other kids and so on. There is a small group of writers and aspiring writers here on FR, myself, I just write role playing games for the fun of it but perhaps I ought to give this a try. I'd love to submit it to American Girls but I doubt it wouldn't meet their "writer's guidlines" but it would be nice to induce a little guilt in some of them over there. Being a history junky and from what I know of American Girls, little as it is, I figured it would be a good history lesson for all but with this crap, well, it ruined it. It would be like coming out with "American Boys" where the idea is to promote the bad side of men and boys like drinking, carousing, beating up on women and anyone else, sort of like Marlon Brando's 1953 motorcycle movie, "The Wild One," on steroids and updated for the 21st Century. Of course it would be shouted down and deservedly so, but in a subtle way, it seems like we are seeing an advocacy for those things on the female sites as the ones we are describing now. Geez, ain't nothing sacred, it's a shame this poison is spreading everywhere. B-(
My youngest daughter used to read all the "American Girl" books and begged me to buy her the dolls, but they were too expensive.
My granddaughters have never asked for "American Girl" products. I guess that is because one of them is a "Canadian Girl" and two are "Russian Girls."
Well put. I was being silly and you brought a new way for me to argue about this subject. Thanks.
O, good! keep arguing! ;)
Damn! It's the only decent toy for girls out there.

You'd think the money was going to pay for Planned Parenthood fliers or to enroll girls in Wiccan classes. Nah, the money goes to programs to build math, science and athletic skills and develop leadership ability. Pretty sick stuff.
