Lego

Encounter a letter written by a 7 year-old girl to the Lego company:

***************************
Dear Lego company:

My name is Charlotte. I am 7 years old and I love legos but I don’t like that there are more Lego boy people and barely any Lego girls.

Today I went to a store and saw legos in two sections the girls pink and the boys blue. 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.

I want you to make more Lego girl people and let them go on adventures and have fun ok!?!

Thank you.

From Charlotte.

You may find the original handwritten version in many web sites. Just search "Lego girl complaint" from Google. I have no comment on the opinion of a girl, but I am horrified to see the response of many people, in Facebook and in the media, all complaining bitterly about sexism and mourning for fairness.
