Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor in Terminator 2 comes to mind. After all, we’ve had a number of women in badass roles. Nerf should be applauded for seeing a demand and rising to the occasion. Remember, we’re in uncharted territory right now when it comes to these kinds of toys and girls as an overt market. They’ve just got to get their foot in the door first. So why couldn’t Nerf market their products to little girls as is, with this life lesson in mind? There is nothing pretty or pink about survival. Strength, determination and the ability to hunt for food meant survival. Because in her world, there was no room for being delicate. The character was a rough and tumble young woman because she had to be. Especially when we all know the source material was anything but polite and pink: The Hunger Games and one Katniss Everdeen. Still, it’s a bit disconcerting to some that this is happening in 2013. This is a marketing policy that started long before anyone ever heard of Nerf products. In American society, it’s still common to “color code” toys so that parents won’t be confused regarding which items are for little boys and which items are for little girls. How do we know they’re for little girls? Well, there’s a lot of pink and purple.

They’ve been made available by Hasbro with little girls exclusively in mind.
