the girls club have been on the feminist side of most debates for decades. In spite of this they do a lot of good. They have sponsorship from litterally hundreds of corpoations from Bath and Body Works, Time Warner, Paramount, ABC, CBS and many more.


Are we going to boycott them all? or just this doll company?

Well, we can't boycott everyone or we won't be able to buy anything anywhere! But we can sure let a company know that a particular product being marketed to raise funds for a particular group is a bad judgment call!! American Girl has already modified their web page, perhaps in response to the feedback, and the "I Can" band is not displayed as prominantly. The really sad thing about Girls Inc. is they cater to low-income girls, and instead of empowering them to break out of poverty it appears they are encouraging them to get pregnant, kill their babies and then see where they are with life. And that doesn't really help a woman progress.
