The basic existence of a special dumbed-down and pinked-up segment of the
LEGO universe designated for girls (and the corresponding boys-only
restriction for Technic and even System) is bad enough, but check out this
quote from the Scala web site:
<URL:http://www.lego.com/catalog/eur/product.asp?number=3135>
"I bought the faciest [sic] summer wear in Marita's fashion shop. I am
sure Christian will like it"
Lego for boys is ("juniorization" not withstanding) about creative building
and play. It's about imaginative scenarios and encouraging kids to stretch
their minds.
Lego for girls is about learning that the important thing is to please the
man in your life.
