But the SPARK Movement objects to the "LadyFigs," the female version of the little figures who man the spaceships, trucks and forts children create. "Ladyfigs" are somewhat anatomically correct, which hypersexualizes girls, according to the group.

A day without p*ssing off a feminist is a wasted day.

“Feminist” has become the PC term for “on the rag...always.”

#24 “Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.”

"They have little breasts and they have fancy hair," the organization's executive director, Dana Edell, told FoxNews.com. "And it just disturbs us that this is the image that they want girls to see."

You just can’t win with liberals on these issues.

The feminists have also protested against Barbie, if I recall correctly. Barbie allegedly has an anatomy which is too distorted, and sends the wrong message to girls, and all of that.

Speaking of Barbie, they had come out with a black Barbie doll. But, then black groups got upset, because the black Barbie wasn’t selling well. Black parents weren’t buying the black Barbie in the expected numbers.

And then, black groups had their panties in a twist, when black Barbies went on sale, in a clearance sale, and the price was marked down well below the price of the white Barbie.

Things like this happen, and it makes you think, you just can’t win with liberals, when you try to make politically correct statements with children’s toys.

"They have little breasts and they have fancy hair," the organization's executive director, Dana Edell, told FoxNews.com. " They're way more feminine than we are, and we're jealous.

What a feminist callse highly sexualized.... the skirt might be a little short, but hardly is this a model of a vixen. I think feminists are just jealous this doll can wear a cute strapped T without it showing off her back bacon, and they can't.

That’s it? Only a pervert would call that “hypersexualized”. Or a mind sick in other ways.

From the article:
Edell, meanwhile, said she’s looking forward to telling LEGO executives to better focus their efforts to producing toys that expands the “mind and creativity” of girls and boys alike.

....Instead of telling LEGO executives what to do, if Edell thinks this is so important, she should start her OWN toy company and then she can run it any way she pleases. Otherwise....shut up. Seems to me that people who do not want this or any other toy can simply not buy it.
