The new Barbies are a backhanded gesture to all women and the kids suffer. Barbie is a toy, just a doll. Barbie's body isn't real. That fact puts everyone on the SAME playing field. No one has a Barbie body so no one can reasonably be offended by the lack of body types she comes in... Since there is only one... She is not fat and she is not skinny... She is not tall or short... She is just Barbie. 1. I went to the website to see these "new" Barbies. I found that the "Tall" barbies were tall and skinny(according to the new scale). The "curvy" dolls appear to be short. Tall and skinny to short and fat. The new Barbies push the tall/skinny and short/fat stereotypes. Giving her a select few body types that are "realistic" cuts out EVERYONE who doesn't fit. My 6'1 non hour glass shape is not reflected in the "new" line up. 2. Some little girl is out there looking at her 5'5 apple shaped mother like, somethings wrong wit...
