>>9550809Ntayrt but that pic isn't really a good comparison because barbie is supposed to be pretty and buff superheroes are male power fantasy, I'm not going to go on a feminist tirade especially with barbies evolution from mostly a pink glitter fashion doll to having job and travel playsets so kids have more options on what they'd like to play with, but with old school "let's go shopping" "math class is so hard" voice bank barbies it's kinda a situation of would you rather be forced to be conscious of your looks every day of your life or be told you can be strong and powerful
Yeah life sucks a bit for little girls if their parents don't make an effort to explain they're not doomed to a life of performing femininity because making a distinction between what the media around you says you have to be and the realization that your sex has no bearing on your personality is honestly difficult even for adults sometimes
