Demand = supply.
who was demanding it?? you make no sense.

they are colored blocks, why are they for any gender? they are for EVERYONE!

please tell me, who was demanding pink lego's and girls in beauty salons for lego?? no one demanded it. you make no sense.

now it's going to make parents with girls feel like they have to choose the girl lego sets, when they were perfectly happy choosing the normal lego sets. It will make parents feel like if they don't buy their girls the PINK legop sets the normal sets, then they are making them a lesbian or something. It's designed to manipulate parents to feel like girls should be buying the pink lego's and not the normal lego's. It's exploiting homophobia.

they are trying to CREATE sexism to sell more.

Depends on how many people you have met, do they have young children, do they have a mixture of young boys/girls, are you aware whether the young girls wanted their 'own' Lego to stop sibling fights over who gets the Lego?

So many questions, not enough time.

Don't be so bloody stupid. It's just more choice. If people don't like the idea of, they won't buy it for their kids. It's definitely not sexist.
