I don't like barbies much and if I was head of some country's department of toys or something, I would try to get rid of them.
These barbies with their stick like skin on bones bodies, tall legs and little torsos, silk long hair, full makeup, little waists, and big boobs are just an insult to all women and not fit for little girls play who are very impressionable....They are obviously sex objects made up by some grown man to reflect what he wants to see in a woman.
I would also abolish Cinderella and snow white. All step moms should sue Disney for film making Cinderella. My daughter the other day met this little girl and when we asked her about her mom she said that she doesn't have a mom, but she have a step mom. My daughter immediately said, like Cinderella and snowwhite, and asked her if her step mom was mean. I felt so horrible and I knew that my daughter made an innocent comment, but that was an example of how we expose our children to inappropriate things that end up shaping their believes.
Look at some of the things that we teach our kids.
1- Step moms are bad.
2- Girls that are good are opressed princess. All non princess girls must be worthless.
3- Pretty girls are good, Anastasia and Drizzela are ugly and must be bad.
4- Not having ball gowns and couches is opression. All a girl can ask from life is some good looks and good cloth.
5- Men have to be very good looking and prince quality to be fit. 6- Men are all prince charming riding white horses and the rest of them are worthless.
7- Prince charming sweeps princess off their feet....
8- Small feet are pretty like Cinderellas, large feet are ugly.
9- If you are a woman, then all other women hate you, and males are your friend, just ask the mirror on the wall.
