“The barbie franchise enforces gender stereotypes”
Ken is literally a trophy husband to a successful rich beautiful business woman but okay go off I guess
makin this come back around again bc happy birthday barbie u intelligent gorgeous woman
I saw a documentary on barbie once and it said that in the 50s or 60s when barbie was first made the parents were concerned because she was teaching their daughters that they could have careers instead of just being wives and mothers because she was the first doll that wasn’t a baby doll
Barbie was in no way the first big name non-baby or child doll. There were Cissy and Miss Revlon and many others out before Barbie. In fact, Barbie was copied almost exactly from a German doll, Bild Lilli, who was created after a comic strip character.
