Monday Afternoon Break: Truth Comes In Small Packages

By Jose A. on Dec 26, 2011

riley_vents.jpg Meet Riley. Riley is a little girl who knows one thing: She can't stand the gender-normative marketing that insists that little girls should like princess-y things and little boys should like superhero stuff. It's just all so...PINK, you know?

The best thing about Riley is that it's not about "my way or the highway" with her; she's fully aware that there are girls and boys who love princesses and pink tutus and all that junk. It's just not her, and when her dad asked her about it in the middle of the toy department, she lets loose with a lucid, balanced and good natured rant about being forced to accept all this Disney crap.

She gives one hope for the future.
