You just can’t win with liberals on these issues.

The feminists have also protested against Barbie, if I recall correctly. Barbie allegedly has an anatomy which is too distorted, and sends the wrong message to girls, and all of that.

Speaking of Barbie, they had come out with a black Barbie doll. But, then black groups got upset, because the black Barbie wasn’t selling well. Black parents weren’t buying the black Barbie in the expected numbers.

And then, black groups had their panties in a twist, when black Barbies went on sale, in a clearance sale, and the price was marked down well below the price of the white Barbie.

Things like this happen, and it makes you think, you just can’t win with liberals, when you try to make politically correct statements with children’s toys.

It is a fundamental mistake to try to "make politically correct statements," either with children's toys or anything else. People have preferences, usually natural. In a free society, there is absolutely nothing wrong with having preferences. That is what freedom is about. And the idea that it is wrong for girls to seek appealing images for themselves, is sheer insanity.
