Seven year old girl tells Lego off for gender stereotyping in toys: "make more Lego girl people and let them go on adventures and have funok!?!"
Charlotte, who is seven, wrote this devastating letter to the Lego company over the way that girl characters and boy characters are handled in its increasingly gendered toys: "All the girls did was sit at home, go to the beach, and shop, and they had no jobs but the boys went on adventures, worked, saved people, and had jobs, even swam with sharks." She calls on Lego "to make more Lego girl people and let them go on adventures and have fun ok!?!" That's a pretty unassailable request.Original Link: http://feeds.boingboing.net/~r/boingboing/iBag/~3/0yoDS7qVU5k/story01.htm
