If they'd included the Lego Friends, a certain section of the feminist world would have flipped out. I guarantee it. Better that they ignore Lego Friends. Better that Lego just forget Friends was ever made and instead starts including girls into the rest of the Lego world. I've never understood why Legos are sectioned off as only-for-boys. Same thing goes with Easy Bake Ovens. Gender has nothing to do with the enjoyment of tasty cake.

I would say it is parents. They weren't buying LEGOs for girls so LEGO made "LEGOS for girls" so the parents would buy their girls LEGOS.

Speaking as an LBR employee, I am also inclined to think exactly this. The number of parents I see who don't even seem to consider anything that isn't in a pink box for their daughters is kind of depressing.

I do get some boys who buy Friends sets, too - not a ton, but they are out there and they exist. So I wouldn't want to see the Friends theme go away just because I don't like the message that would send to them, either; I'd rather see a marketing scheme that makes everything more accessible to everyone. I had one boy getting Friends stuff once and his mom was telling him "remember, you can't have this one out when friends are over" and it just about broke my heart.

I absolutely understand where the objections to Friends come from, because it's nagged at me too! But I don't think eliminating the theme completely is the solution at all, because the more I actually see of the people who are buying them and the more I talk to them and help them pick out what they're looking for, the more complicated it all gets.

'A certain section of the feminist world'? Yeah, cos only those crazee hairy legged radfems would ever critcize something like that.
