STFU, Conservatives
Scholastic Books Sends Girls Misogynistic Message »

historicalslut:

I could go on a long rant about how in 2012 we shouldn’t be seeing shit like this but I cannot since I am not surprised. I wish I could be surprised but every freaking company does it. I’m not surprised Scholastics does it. We can just add them to the list that uses gender stereotypes to sell their products.

UGH. Of course the “Boy Version” has stuff about surviving a broken leg, a snakebite, a plane crash and survival skills, and the “Girl Version” covers surviving such unthinkable horrors as a fashion disaster, a crush, and a BFF fight. UGH.
