Middle aged mom Barbie would be more appropriate name for it."

I see merit in a girl playing with dolls that look like the women around her, including her mother.

“a $5 plastic doll.”

Obviously you have not priced any name-brand Mattell products lately.

LOL.

Was there a brother alive who didn’t pull off the heads of his sister’s Barbies??

—Although I think the family dog chewed off a few heads too.

When I was a kid and played with them, I could care less about body types. It must be the moms who are obsessed with this. I won’t be buying any of the new ones.

Will the bigger clothes be more expensive?

LOL! My daughters didn't have any brothers to worry about, but we did have a dog that seemed to find Barbie's hands and feet to be delicious.

George and Margaret....from the fictional town of Willows Wisconsin. Barbie was named after Ruth Handlers daughter. Presumably Ken was named after Ruth’s son of the same name. Ken’s fictional last name is Carson. Wiki has all sorts of useless information for trivia buffs. :)

Nope, not buying it.

Women of course CAN be very critical. But women are also famous for actually talking, and men being quiet. Men still think it. On FR they often display it. Women on FR rarely make much irrelevent comment about females in the news.

So, all the past ideals of beauty come from women? Ruebenesque and all? What women do is because men want it. The truth is that men have driven just about everything over history.
