BBC - Today - Barbie at 50

[Bela Serpa]

I would never give such doll to my kid. Frist, they´re unnatural, they don´t look human. Second, they sort of objetcvize women - no doubt they´re kept in boxes. Third, they represent the worst in the allegedly feminine psy: exaggeration, submission and that dumb face "oh, I don´t know..what do you think?". And a kind of woman perception no girl will ever achieve - for the first reason I wrote here. No wonder girls torture them, they´re not friends, they´re foes!!!

 ;-P

All the best.

Liberty means     responsibility. That is why most men dread it.    George     Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
