"It's 2016 people. Fisher-Price needs to step it the F up and point to women working in all types of fields and in leadership roles," writes Gina Zuk Gerber in a post to Facebook sharing a photo of a Little People toy aimed at young girls. The toy, a pink-and-white SUV, or comes with a "a clearly mum-looking figure" and the tagline,"Time for yoga and a smoothie!" - and Gerber isn't very happy approximately it.
My son's favourite toys growing up were Little People. I always just grabbed the fire truck or barn and didn't deem much approximately it. Today when shopping for toys for Anna I was disgusted to see the "girl" versions of Little People. The only ones with all girl figures were all smothered in pink and purple, they worked in inviting places like the "home, and " and they all lacked the multiple educational elements the "boys" toys had.
After publicly sharing the post to Facebook,it's clear that Gerber isn't the only person who feels so strongly approximately this line of "girly" toys - her commenters are just as riled up. "Because all women do is yoga and sip smoothies," one wrote. "Oh, and Fisher-Price,you screwed up tall time!"
