As far as this entire discussion goes... it's over 1/3 of a century too late...

The first female castle minifig already had a low neckline and jewelry in the 1979 Knight's Tournament Set 383... and the female pigtails hairstyle even predates minifigs going back to 1975 with the early minifig stiffs.

So lets not make an issue of this 35 years later.... too little too late..

I would add just one more.

Staying in the "feminism field", there are real sexist issues still in this world that prevent girls and women from being treated as men are.

This article ridiculizes and belittles the feminist and anti-sexist movements, because if someone wishes to approach these ideas, it could be really misleaded by such silly and nonsense issues.

Considering you know nothing about feminism I don't know what to make of this.

Another logical fallacy, now we went to "Ad Hominem" attacks.

I begged you to please answer my question, but seems you are more able in insulting than in having a point.

I have asked this topic to be locked, due to someone being clearly unable to have a peaceful conversation, and finding nothing to do but insulting people.

Well, actually there will also be something I know nothing about.

Being this something "good reasons to be so hateful" as you are.

I never insulted you. Mind your manners and attitude.

We are in a forum talking about a toy and a hobby that should tie us together, not bringing us apart.

A vast majority of people repeated what the OP posted: this article can surely be considered silly and facticious.

Issues are other things. And I know about feminism a lot.

But I am indeed happy to meet someone with a crystal ball who can tell what I know and I do not know without knowing who I am and judging me by three posts.

The media is sexist towards women, the media is sexist towards men - that's unfortunately how the world works. It works both ways. LEGO's possible sexism is so minor in influence to humanity in this respect that the writer ought to have really written an article tacking Hollywood sexism, as that is much more severe. The article is not silly, as it raises some interesting points, however it is unnecessary and its author has misplaced their righteous indignation.

In short: LEGO isn't worth bringing up in a feminist debate, not when compared to the myriad of other forms of media against which LEGO pales.

Okay, topic is now out of hand. Bye bye, topic.
