    I find it funny that people complain about Barbie being an unrealistic and harmful body image for girls. For us boys, we grew up with He-Man and is absurdly muscular physique!

      boys look for inspiration through toys but girls look for similarities within their lives. look at some of the researches done on that.

      Dude....I hear what you're saying. The thing about barbie is that women are Expected to also emulate her ideal image through our behavior and aspirations. It became a whole image to aspire to.
      Do you think that sometimes men also want to get the approval of other men to look fit? Just asking for my info

    I grew up in Zimbabwe but my mum made it a point to get me a dark-skinned Barbie on one of her trips. I also made her a whole wardrobe of clothes and accessories from patterns in a magazine and my own designs ☺

    Growing up I hated baby dolls and loved Barbie, I do think looking back it was a positive thing for me growing up to have a creative outlet for my dream adult life and I can’t say I ever wanted to look like Barbie, nor do I remember any of my friends who loved Barbie ever expressing that. (I think we all just wanted her wardrobe more than her waistline tbh) My body dismorphia and drive to be thin definitely didn’t kick in until I was a teenager, and now I definitely think social media is a much more dangerous influence on how young people see their bodies than Barbie ever was or will be.

      The problem with some girls is that they are the one who cannot accept others those who are different and better than them . I know numbers of girl who played barbie and dont mind at all their bodies does not resemble not even close to barbies because they are being realistic that barbie is just a doll .

    Barbie's sexual relationship with Ken is strange. They've been mating since the franchise was young but nearly married. Who would exit the joint when it is time to launch the marriage?! That's crazy! I wouldn't have my loved one have such denial! It could somewhat be a symbol of divorce!

      Having a lawsuit filed against you for copyright infringement - and settling out of court - isn't the same as buying the rights:
      "Lilli was a German doll created in the 1950s, and she also had a similar appearance and wardrobe to Barbie. In fact, Barbie was based on Lilli, as Mattel's co-founder Ruth Handler saw the doll while on a trip to Europe and was inspired to create her own version. This similarity caused the creators of Lilli to sue Mattel for copyright infringement, though it was settled out of court."

Create your perfect "woman" that needs sees life like Barbie would. Buy buy buy, be best, be beautiful, be the only thing that matters in the world, be you ...YOUUUUUUU HAVE THE POWEEEEEEER because your plastic (i)doll said so... This "documentary" is basically whitewashing, to not say brainwashing...

      Because men are not expected to look like He-Man, but women are expected to always look like Barbie. Just about all dolls or human characters aimed at young girls depicted a very pretty and very thin white woman. Toys and TV show/movie/video game characters for boys, however, came in a variety of body shapes, sizes, and appearances.
      For just one example, look at X-men. Cyclops, Professor X, Beast, Wolverine, Colossus, and Nightcrawler all have significantly and noticably different body shapes and sizes.
      But what about the women? Jean Gray, Polaris, Storm, Kitty Pryde, Rogue, and Dazzler are all incredibly beautiful, thin, curvy, and (with the exception of Storm) either very light skin or white.
      So maybe it is not the women who are "crying about it", it is YOU who is crying because someone is simply mentioning an issue that otherwise never affected you, but since you are uposet when we are not about you, you start crying.
