No pink shit for Arya
Now that the UK has had the regular premiere of Game of Thrones season 4, let's hear it for Arya Stark, who is a far better role model for daughters than, well, any of that pink stuff.
Which reminds me, what the fuck is up with the Kinder easter egg ad? The boys get Batman in blue, while the girls get... fuck knows what it is, but it's pink, of course. What's the point of this?
Aside from the gender stereotyping that makes my blood boil every time I see this ad, I do have to wonder why the girls can't have Batgirl in blue, Catwoman in blue/grey, etc... After all, if they've paid for a license anyhow...
Or, you know, they could have just put in their regular company livery for all. But there is definitely an *increase* in this sort of shit, when you'd think that the also-increasing awareness of and opposition to it would reduce it...
