Lego To Produce Three Box Sets Featuring Female Scientists 208
vossman77 writes: 'According to the Chicago Tribune, "Lego will produce a limited-edition box set called Research Institute, featuring three female scientists in the act of learning more about our world and beyond." The concept received 10,000 supporters on the LEGO ideas site. Creator Ellen Kooijman writes in a blog post, "As a female scientist I had noticed two things about the available Lego sets: a skewed male/female minifigure ratio and a rather stereotypical representation of the available female figures. It seemed logical that I would suggest a small set of female mini-figures in interesting professions to make our Lego city communities more diverse." LEGO says, "The final design, pricing and availability are still being worked out, but it's on track to be released August 2014."'

I plan on buying one of these then building a lego kitchen so I can put the female mini figure where she belongs.

Can't imagine it would matter much, it's not like they'd want to fuck you either way.

why not get a Male Scientist package and just give it another head
Because giving head to a male scientist would spark an outrage in feminist circles?
