THE CONCERNED WOMEN OF AMERICA ARE CONCERNED ABOUT LITTLE GILS GENDER


The CWA is pissed. This conservative Christian movement raised flags against Mattel for giving kids too many options in an online Barbie poll.

"The age choices are 4-8, but as Bob Knight, Director of CWA’s Culture & Family Institute, notes children are given three options for their choice of gender."

Mattel has also recently been boycotted by CWA for its partnership with American Girl Dolls who supports Girls Inc a group that "is a national nonprofit youth organization dedicated to inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and bold." (as per their website). CWA was mad that Girls Inc supports sex ed and is pro choice.

Ad Club Alumni, Former Research/ Culture Department Head, NSAC Presenter and Red Shoed Hottie, Christina Edwards is reppin' at Y&R, Irvine as we speak. Mattel is their client. As Cory says, OC is the center of the universe.

(Note: Ad Club president Kate Lennon, and Jenna Nicoletti have and continue to intern at Y&R, respectively.)
