Lisa Miles:
"Lady Tax"
Is that the amount they add on top of the production costs for using pink coloured dye for whatever item it happens to be?
Lisa Miles:
Oh and then there was this little gem too that I found...
So little baby girls don't need to learn about different colours and shapes as everything in their world will come in differing shades of pink...
It disappoints me that parents buy this stuff. I actively seek not to buy anything pink for my nieces...
Jo Foster:
Yes - pink Lego! Why? It didn't need to be pink in the 80's
Not only is it PINK but you don't even get to be creative because 'they' have already decided that you will make a princess castle out of it, which your little princess figurine will, no doubt need rescuing from at some point!

Yes, the lego "for girls" range is crazy! There are a couple of really good YouTube videos that sum up the problems with this far more eloquently than I can. Definitely worth watching if you have some time:

Amber re." Is this due to the quality of the product, or is it a lady-tax?"I hear you - one of the reasons I've often bought men's shirts for casual wear - cheaper and more comfortable. As for "BiC for her" - I think they've lost the plot.
