This summer, a 6-year-old girl named Vivian wrote to a toy company out of frustration, asking why they didn’t make female plastic soldiers. The president of the company responded. Now, Green Army Women figurines will be available by Christmas 2020.

This sounds like something she was put up to do. Children have vivid imaginations, and anything can be imagined to be nearly anything else. Once again, NPR has fallen for the planted news story.

A girl with my attitude.

😂😂😂 those soldiers are gender less. What are they doing to make them look female? How dumb

Amo!!

I guarantee you no 6-year-old (regardless of gender) just wakes up one day and decides to write a letter to a company. We need to call this what it is no matter how well the intention; pure propaganda pushed by the parents.

But won’t that foster toxic femininity?

So, when will women 18-25 be required to register for the Selective Service?

Plastic toys. Glorifying war. Influencing children to carry on unsustainable traditions. This is to be praised and not mourned?

Adorable, how little girls also want to get out there and kill & die for oil.

What about transgender soldiers? When do those come out?

A frustrated 6-year old Sounds like we have bigger problems on the horizon! Parents should really let their kids be kids. WTF!!

MollyMcKew So cute. Maybe she can grow up, join the army, and also kill brown skinned innocent children. So sweet. :puke:

Truly the problem that has no name.

I hope they are mixed in the box with the male soldiers, not kept segregated.

This girl is example for women of all ages that equality does not come to once who just wait. Demand equal rights and defend them every day -- that is the only way to have real rights, and not just on paper.

this is soooooooooooooooooo important. Yawn

All those plastic women holding assault rifles. Liberals are gonna be triggered

MollyMcKew Yeah, imperialistic girls can kill and maim just as well as imperialistic boys!!!

They probably haven't made new molds for those since 1955. 😏

we don't need more plastic toys ClimateAction

Squeaky wheel gets the oil. This girl is going places.

This is just cuteness overload right here. I can't lol

That's something everyone should be doing: communicating with the manufacturers directly, instead of taking their frustrations out on everyone else.

It warms my heart that young girls want to invade foreign locales, murder the population, and engage in destruction.

Awesome

Complete Fake Letter and News. Shame on NPR for publishing this horse crap. Not a chance in hell a 6 yr old wrote this.

The draft should also apply to females or we don’t have equality.

Good on her, and good on the company. Always inspiring when children stand up to disparity, even in a small way.
