It is not unPC to 'admit' to having a girl who likes pink/'girly' things.
I have a dd who loves lego Friends. And has many sets. I do, however, hate the limitations and expectations that places on her.
The lego Friends range has a lot of body image issues, imo. It is also, at times, incredibly limiting as to societal roles. As I described above, when my dd, having been subjected to marketing and peer influence, veers towards the pink/Friends side of the Lego shop, she can, at times, choose between sets consisting of juice bars, pop stars, shopping malls and fashion design. Nothing wrong with any of those thigns when presented as a range of lifestyles, but when that is all that is presented to girls, when the boys get cars, animals, space, Star Wars and Superheros, Pirates, City, etc, then surely you can see that that is limiting, and insulting?
Why no female pirates? Why no Creator animals sets to specifically appeal to girls (if gender splits must be adhered to)? They are in the standard Lego yellow boxes, and often placed away from the Friends/Elves sets, so are easily glossed over by a small child indoctrinated by marketing to head towards pink/purple/sparkly. Why no pink cars in the City sets? I was pleasantly surprised, having bought the Juniors firefighter suitcase to find there is one male and one female firefighter included. Brilliant. But why the overt emphasis in the whole range (talking City here) on no pink, no domestic, nothing to specifically appeal,to girls, who apparently need separate marketing? All just swamps, and police, and burglars, along with trucks, helicopters etc. a good range, but not ok for those girls (like my own daughter) who do like pink, and sparkles and intricate accessories - where does she fit in? Nowhere, unless she buys into the airhead juice bar/pop star/shopping lifestyle. Lovely.
