“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!

I showed my 6 year old normal little girl and she says she knows about it, likes it, and wants it.

*sigh*

What’s wrong with making cool legos that people buy?

Sure, girls don’t like ‘em, but who cares. Girls have cooties!

More cool legos = license to print money.

See post #9. I think I found the little girl who wrote it (or at least her parent that helped her :).

Exactly. As long as the butch girls aren't forced to buy the female Legos what difference does it make?
