This is really cool! Goldie Blox has a new commercial out announcing its new action figures made for girls. I think Goldie Blox is kind of a cool company because it originally started with science toys targeted for girls and now they have these really cool action figures made for girls. This commercial is quite brilliant also. Beauty isn't everything. Everyone is beautiful in their own unique way and they shouldn't have these unrealistic expectations for women. Its very nice to see that girls can play with action figures now. I'm so jealous that I didn't have these growing up, but I'm happy these exist for my own kids.
In other feminist related news, Aerie sales have gone up since their campaign to not use photoshopped women to sell their merchandise. Good for them! American Eagle is my absolute favorite store and I buy most things at Aerie. Not to be TMI, but the quality of their underwear is wayyyy better than Pink, and I like their hoodies and leggings better also. To be fair, their models are very skinny naturally. I haven't seen anyone that looks like me modeling... but who's to say there isn't and that there could be one day. Who knows maybe I'll model for them... no I won't lol. Not just because of my size, I'm too clumsy to walk the runway! But if it gets me free American Eagle and Aerie stuff I'd do it!
So there you go everyone! Cate Blanchett was right, the world really is round and women are important! Hope you've enjoyed this small feministy scribble about news... I probably won't have stuff that happened this week because this was the only news I really liked of the week!
Byeeeee!
