I passed some of those LEGO Friends sets at my local Target store with my mother last weekend. We looked at them and laughed.

These sets might have been okay back in the '50s. In 2012 - almost what, one hundred years since women have received the right to vote and have full status as citizens? - this is just unacceptable. Why can't women be super heroines; femme fatales who can kick plastic butt and save the day, just like male characters do on a daily basis? They are more than capable. One can keep his masculinity fully intact while watching a female character fill a dominant role. If one can't, then the fault lies with him.
