This is one cafeteria boycott that actually could work. American Girls product line is aimed at parents looking for age appropriate toys, game, and books for their preteen daughters. Generally speaking, that means NO BOYS. Their magazine does not focus on boys.
Parents know they're paying way too much for the stuff, but pay it, knowing the premium is going toward keeping their daughters Brittany Spears and Bratz free. Most, but certainly not all, of the parents buying this junk would be horrified to know their 10 year old was exposed to this lesbian babykilling crap. If American Girl sales plummet, the boycott would have its desired effect.
I agree. American girls is a big market. I think this will make them take notice, especially when you consider how pricey their stuff is. It's really outrageous. I found doll furniture for AG sized dolls at a local craft store. (A.C.Moore) It was FAR cheaper and just as good for playing with when it will probably get pretty beat up anyway. American Girls is (or used to be) part of Goetz Doll company. A German company.
Speaking of BOYS, can you even IMAGINE the reaction if Hot Wheels began promoting a special little car and giving 70 cents to "boysinc". Then, at the "boysinc" website, parents find "resources" like: Boys and Gay, Bisexual, and Questioning Identities, Boys and Sexual Activity Fact Sheet, etc. Unbelivable. I'm almost speechless, but not so much that I haven't been as busy as a little bee emailing this information to every single person I can think of.
I cannot overstate how angry this has made me. I visit the AG store every year, spend a pretty penny, and had promised my daughter an AG doll when she turns 8. Today at a Christian bookstore, I did see some VERY nice historical dolls and coordinating novels. We will probably purchase those in place of AG.
