Barbie provokes feelings of "rejection, hatred and violence" among some youngsters. Girls saw Barbie as an inanimate object rather than a treasured toy. While boys often expressed nostalgia and affection toward Action Man - the British equivalent of GI Joe - renouncing Barbie appeared to be a rite of passage for many girls, Nairn said.
Maybe it's because "Mattel has dedicated itself to promoting Barbie as “a lifestyle, not just a toy”. Hmm? It's a class thing kids; class size is an issue. And Math is hard for poor Barbie.
The evil manipulation of sugar and spice biases the news... again. Thank goodness boys still treat their G.I. Joes with TLC.
