Because The Mountain Goats do anti-LEGO sexism rants on twitter:
Dear Legos dudes, the regular Legos are cool for girls you don’t have to condescend to the awesome little girls of this world
#liberateLEGOs

#liberateLEGOs
brb going to Mall of America’s LEGO store to leaflet & raise Hell
It has been made so real for me by fatherhood! stinkin’ world is all about telling little people who they can be!
@LEGO_Group my kid’ll be getting toys that don’t try to sell him prefab gender assumptions. Shame on you, hope yr 4th quarter is a disaster
@LEGO_Group “more choice”…to have your life choices limited. you have outraged one unimportant singer-songwriter I’ll tell you what
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
LOVE this.
Times like this I am bummed that I don’t have a daughter. I am not sure how I could convince my husband not to buy Legos, and our 3-year-old is obsessed with Duplos.
I did see the pink Lego set when I was shopping for family and called my husband over- we were both appalled. When we didn’t know the sex of our baby, we chose dinosaurs and Legos as themes for the nursery. They are gender neutral!!!!
