The foreskins could be the name of an Israeli drum quartet.

Try searching for the "brick testament", a great many Lego foreskins and pixelated blood spills are depicted.

Surely they would be mere "one-skins" in lego terms? A whole four would be terrifying in its implications!

Damned if they do and damned if they don't Poirot.

If lego is all about rockets and spaceships, it's criticized as excluding girls. Just like maths exams that dare to involve numbers.

When they make it more 'available' to girls and to their feminine interests, it's stereotyping.

They cant win.

PS: What's wrong with buying girls space lego, the option is still there.

Nothing wrong at all with that, Houellie.

I mentioned that about half of our son's LEGO was handed down from his sister who is nineteen years older. She used to buy the pirates and the knights and other things because back then there was hardly anything for girls in the LEGO range.

Of course the fact that all the pieces which she played with in the 80's are still viable and not distinguishable in quality from the current pieces is almost unheard of in a toy.

So you're right that the option is there for the girls to buy into the space ships, etc...funny how it doesn't go both ways. I can't see the boys buying into the girl's range, "Friends".

In fact, LEGO mimics life in society to that extent.
