Mattel is the same company that owns "American Girl Doll" and was donating to pro-abortion groups.

Homosexual agenda ping.

The homosexual agenda leftists are now using Barbie dolls to promote their immorality.

Any boy at a Barbie website should be checking I don't know.

When I saw the title, I wondered if this would have something to do with the strange "anatomy" of Ken dolls. They sure confused the heck out of me when I was a little girl, with no brothers as a basis for comparison.

This survey question is pretty whacked, but I think most little girls who see it would laugh, think "wow that's weird!" and dismiss it.

Left-wing blog Big Brass Blog ridiculed the suggestion that Barbie had an agenda by including the "I Don't Know" option.

It seems the questions only need a better 'framing'. . .to get to the truth of the issues here. . .i.e:

How do you feel?

Like a Girl?

Like a boy?

or last. . .just 'NOT SURE'. . .

Beyond pathetic. . .'Family Stone' and Brokeback for the 'big kids'; and now. . .Barbie reaching out for a new friend, perhaps. . .

She will probably not have to wait until next Chrismas either; for 'it' to show up.

If there are any kids out there who "don't know" then their parents are doing something VERY wrong.

>>>From and ABC News story

But Mattel, which also manufactures Barbie, said the Barbie incident is much ado about nothing. "This was just an innocent oversight," says Lauren Bruksch, a spokeswoman for Mattel. As a rule of thumb, Bruksch said, the questionnaires at barbie.com always try to have a neutral answer or nonresponse option. For gender, this third option should have been "I don't want to say," rather than "I don't know." The Web site has since been fixed.

In the world of children's toys, trust no one. A shot over the bow won't hurt in keeping Mattel honest.

I honestly don't think this was intentional.

I think it was one of those screw ups from the folks designing the web page.

At worst it was a case of a lawyer sticking his nose in.

Mattel is the company that swindled a small German toymaker out of the Barbie product by literally manufacturing it without license for years, then forcing a cheap settlement on him by providing misinformation on sales volume.

Why support a gang of organized criminals?

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

They are eager to get the next generation totally under their control. In CA, IIRC, it is now the law that every kid in school gets to say which SEX (NOT GENDER, FOOLS!) they are. So Tom can wear a dress and demand to be called "Tomasina" and use the girls' bathroom. It's insanity.

Freepmail me and DirtyHarryY2K if you want on/off this pinglist.

Innocent mistake?? Silly to question it?? I don't THINK so. That's what they say everytime they advance the agenda. Every single time.

or it might be a reflection of the fact that, yeah, sometimes really young kids might not have thought about it too much yet,

total absolute hogwash. Whether they are a boy or a girl is a matter of extreme importance to little kids. My daughter (5 now) was keenly aware of it as early as two.

By the way, Humans don't have genders we have sexes

The poll questions are regionally biased, too. In January...my kids are playing in the back yard wearing shorts.
