Pink Stinks!

[kerravonsen]

In the words of reynardo:

When two sisters launched an "anti-pink" campaign two years ago to liberate girls from a toy industry dedicated to churning out pretty princesses for girls, they had no idea of the fuss it would cause..

Pinkstinks. Because girls don't have to be just beauticians or nurses - they can be doctors and scientists if they want to.

Good on them. :) You can't stick girls in a pinky-princess box and say that's all they should aspire to.

Although I had dolls when I was young, I also had Lego and would have liked to have Meccano and toy spaceships if I could. :D

What an excellent campaign.

Of course now I have to repeat my research trip to Hamleys before I can start writing my new novel. Then again, I like Hamleys and that part of the story mostly concerns the hero and heroine bonding over the purchase of non-gendered toys for young relatives anyway.
