Jeez, what’s wrong with you two? Just wanted to play with dolls? Where’s the fun in that? Come on, you had severe psycho-trauma placed on you by unconscious gender stereotyping! Get with the program!

Most people who get psychoanalyzed by liberals (who have mental problems of their own) pay good money for that, and you two get psychoanalyzed for free as part of an oppressed class, and you have a beef with it???

Just no pleasing some people!!!!!

LOL, too bad the mods pulled the one the other poster put in, I thought that was pretty funny, but...they got their standards!

I concur. I have always thought that there was something very special about the way women dressed in the 40's and 50's. Every time I see this movie, that is what comes to mind for me when I see this woman appear:

LOL, the guy probably already had his beer goggles on, and that impaired his formula writing skills as well!

The idealized “perfect” body, as pushed by Hollywood and the media, has only helped to bring about dangerous eating disorders in girls (and some boys, too, sadly)

A walk through the mall on any given day would likely convince anyone that girls are not starving themselves to be svelte anymore.
