and the publik schools
These freaks have some serious emotional issues. Lock them up and give them meds... lots of them.
You piqued my curiosity, so I looked it up.
The Barbie doll was modeled after the Bild Lilli doll from Germany. Mattel bought the rights to Bild Lilli, because of its popularity as a girl's toy in much of Europe.
Originally, the Bild Lilli doll was marketed as an adult gag gift and sold in bars in Germany, but not as a "sex toy." That moniker was provided much later, long after production of the Bild Lilli ceased, by both a lesbian, and by a militant feminist. The Bild Lilli became very popular amongst children all over Europe. Mattel bought the rights to it, and the German company ceased production of Bild Lilli in the '60s.
Barbie was, and always has been, marketed as a girl's toy.

My daughter plays with Barbie, and Lalaloopsies, and Lego Friends. She also plays with my old Star Wars action figures (yikes, I had a Princess Leia doll). She plays with stuffed animals, too. She knows full well that these are toys, not real life.
It is not a role model and no little girl believes it is."
Exactly right. When I was little, we girls would take our Barbies to school. Not one of us talked about growing up to "be" Barbie...it was all about dressing them up, period.
These leftwing freaks can't stand it that a plastic doll looks better than them.
The most toxic toy out there now is the computer and internet.
FYI, my kids are all engineers and some are developers which goes beyond computer programming.
They will NOT allow their children to use the computer until they are much older. That goes for Ipads too.
The most toxic thing one can do is give a child access to computers instead of books.
My kids were not allowed to view anything I didn’t see first in reading and media.
It is the MEDIA and entertainment that is destroying children.

I didnt say that Barbie was the only toxic toy. I absolutely agree and prevented media and computers in our family during growingup years.
