Girls Want Superheroes, Too

This YouTube video has received quite a viewing: over 100, ooo hits. Why? Because a little girl — she seems around 3-4, tells her daddy that it’s not fair to divide toy stores with pink for girls and all the other colors for boys. And it’s not fair that girls don’t get any superheroes. Girls want them, too, and they don’t want them with big boobs, small waste lines, pretty faces, and wearing tight, revealing clothing — or I should say, half-clothing. OK. She doesn’t say all that, but listen to her and cheer her on.
