This summer, when she began playing with plastic toy soldiers, she was struck by one glaring issue: There were no women.Vivian decided she simply would not stand for this. So she began drafting letters to toy companies across the country, asking that they start making female toy soldiers."Why do you not make girl army men," Vivian wrote.
They all dress the same," Vivian told Lord.Vivian listed these grievances in her letter, adding that some girls don't even like the color pink."[Please] can you make army girls that look like women," Vivian wrote."I would play with them every day and my [friends] would to!"A young girl was afraid of IVs. So she invented a teddy bear to disguise themVivian and her mom have contacted three toy companies, and one has responded.

These toy soldiers depict US troops from World War II, there were no female soldiers in the US Army back then or in the Vietnam War. Toy companies should have more modern army men, including female soldiers who serve in the military these days.
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
'and a little child shall lead them'....
Because nobody wants to buy a plastic toy-soldier supply technician...
😂😂😂Finally my lost little twin sister! Hahaha I always wondered myself 🤫
This isn't news.
Simple y bueno
Yea, you can have a bunch hiding behind cover.
Don’t forget lbgtq soldiers
GovHowardDean My first thought is, 'What about no soldiers?' Leftover 60's hippie thoughts that occasionally creep into my mind.
This 35-year-old man wants to know why there are still toy soldiers at all. warisntfun stopthecycle inoculatingviolenceanddeath
Some of the toys self identify as women.
Maybe she's really a boy.
BECAUSE I said so! THAT'S WHY! GIVE ME A BREAK.
In all fairness I've yet to see a toy soldier with a penis... just sayin’ 😁
It ’s something no one has noticed ...
VassilisNalba I, on the other hand, want to know why there are TOY soldiers at all
A 6 year old did all of this? By herself?
🤡🤡
Eye roll
Because G.I. Joe came out, when it was only men in combat and nobody gives a shit, about something so stupid.
A prospective feminist...
You can’t tell if they are male or female!!!
Why is this news? The world is on fire and this is what you got for me?
Can we stop making those altogether? plasticpollution
They should ban toy soldiers all together, they're normalizing gun violence
You go girl
Clickbait?
Fuck 😂
Typical CNN
brilliant observation.
I agree. Someone must make the troops sandwiches
Smart girl, and a realist.
Her parents put it in her mind let kids be kids none political .
she drafted the letters or did mumsy draft the letters? which then asks the question, was she struck by the fact that there were no women soldiers or was that mumsy's doing. Has mumsy ever considered joining the forces?
Next thing you know she wants neutral gender soldiers.
yea right...she's only 6...think mom wrote to the company, but the story sounds better if it came from a child...NEXT
Book: Why men don't listen and women can't read maps 👍👦👼
She just needs to scale up. Increase her military budget so she can go full Barbie.
Would have been better if she was struck by the fact we shouldn’t need soldiers in this world but it was probably the parents that said it to try and get publicity, also we don’t need more plastic 🤔
This a parody account?
Is this the real CNN I'm following or something else?
Was that before or after she completed her tax returns?
Her doubt is true reflection if the society and nature. Fact is,woman is naturally emblem of love and peace. Hence all fairy tales toys will be female and war games are toyed by Male formats However as TOY there shall not be soldier ,guns,weapons etc.
And her 1 year old son is going on strike for equal pay
Its green plastic calm the fuck down
Lol more like her parents pushed this ridiculousness.
Probably the parents
CNN is literally the most cancerous news channel in the all world
Yes, Vivian your toy soldiers should include girl soldiers, also! I agree
Next thing ya know, Barbie will be wearing a banana hammock
Really? A 6 year old began drafting letters? Really? C'mon man! 6 YEAR OLD?
Some day she’ll grow up and marry a prince
Stop using children as political pawns .... does she 2ant to know why unicorns dont exist in reality ? Women are nurturers by nature, it's this snow flake feminism pushing women into the military to kill just so they can be 'equal ' equality is not the same as balance .
can't wait to report on raped, dead and mutilated women in battle with the rag heads.
Horrible
DavePOfficial
EnvironTwitBot Has she asked why toys for women are always penis shaped and never resemble vaginas? Stop discrimination!
jrbkjrbk Sure none
Who will raise the children back home? And make sure bandits don't steal from the homestead?
But that young lady a pink camo'd AR-15. ASAP.
Maybe because females do not like wars, they prefer peace, they do not want to loose the loved ones for stupid reasones
6 check the initiators of this move and I definitely believe is not the child doing this.
You lie. a 6 year has no clue. Mommy did that shit!
Her set doesn't have female soldiers because she didn't get it from countries that require women to serve in the armed forces. Those are: Armenia, Cape Verde, Chad, China, Eritrea, Israel, Norway, North Korea, and Sweden. Order a set from there if you want female soldiers.
At 6 years old she was struck by the fact...?
So they want their daughter carrying weapons of war?
Women do not belong in the military. It was created for alpha makes to protect our coyntry. Let's count how many come home knocked up with no baby daddy and the military refusing to make dad pay because he's overseas.
CNN run by feminists! The vision is so stupid! And always framed in sexist terms.
Good Question : ),+Belgian_Army
There are no transgender toy soldiers either.
Point of personal privilege! These toys should be manufactured by the pronoun of their own choosing.
Really 6 years old Beyond faked cnn is stupid.
Yesss💗💗
Sure it only took 82 years to offend someone but let’s completely change our product for you. How do we know that there are not any women anyway? How dare you assume the gender of plastic toy soldiers! They are soldiers first & the battlefield knows no gender!
When they did military draft, which gender do you think were drafted?
This.. is news worthy?
Ffs
You lie. a 56 year has no clue. Mommy did that shit!
There hasn't been a woman toy solider for decades soooooo why is this a big thing now?
Her mommy wants to raise her in that way.
She is the unbigoted future!
I’m sure Vivian is a delightful child and that her parents are the absolute worst.
Parents🙄
And came to find out that most people don’t want you female soldiers as they are marketed towards little boys.
MercedesGlobal Yes!!!! The past is full of ignorant people who felt protective of women and felt that males were disposable. This is backwards. Time for change! We must not given any value to women and send them to war also.
Someone forgot to tell her about Scarlett, Lady J & CoverGirl.
And she learned a valuable lesson, the answer is, money! It’s always money. The answer to every question is money. There’s not enough money to be made in girl soldier toys, if there were, or if someday there is, they will make them.
Because it hasn't been until very recently that women were allowed on the battlefield and young men are still the only ones available for draft. Don't lie to your kids.
Then Transgender, Mexican, black, white and no more green soldiers. Unbelievable
*toy company adds long hair and breasts to toy soldiers* *Same parents are offended by long hair and breast on toy soldiers*
Let’s see how many women enlist for the next war
GOOD QUESTION.
isnt that just cute? ... den maybe we shud now have our dear feminists step up to fight for real combat ready female foot soldiers, u know. Just for equality sake
Oh ffs
So weird that people have a problem with what this little girl has done.
They’re washing the dishes. 😂
How is this newsworthy?
'news'
Parents should let their kids be kids instead of using them to do what they either could've or refused to do.
Feminism at a young age.. How great lol
Isn't it sad how leftists use their children as political pawns?
it's hard to be a kid
Everyone settle down. You know how many women are in the military? Quite a lot.
Girls should focus on being girls and not boys. They would be much happier. JustSaying TheTruth
And the toy companies wrote back: “people still buy these things?”
The next generation of hyperoffended already starting to sprout.
Radical liberal brains splitting in half trying to decide if they want to support a girl who wants to be in the military or criticize a kid playing with toys representing violence
