barbie to be banned in west virginia?

[Darkbrady]

yeah like bumps that are red on the chest area or a resizable chest but they do have a barbie with a resizable belly to have it look pregnet or not thats better then a rsizable chest.

To look pregant? They're encouragin' sex through dolls to 5 year old girls?

I think there's far worse things than barbie dolls...

The whole concept of the "beautiful or bust" idea ravages society.
Young girls are taught that wearin' make up from young teenage years is the only way to look good. Personally, I find makeup repulsive at best. The last gf I had who wore makeup made me physically sick to get too close to all that chemical facepaint.

i agree, i don't wear make-up on a regular basis, only if i go to like a wedding and even then ill wear bare minerals which is like a mineral based make up I don't see a reason for wearing make-up

When I was a little girl my barbies always made Ken be the butler and ..er... ran around *cough* together... *cough*

So after seeing me do this a couple of times my parents quit buying me Barbies as they no longer felt they were healthy for me... instead they bought me LEGO's! Oh, and after lots of begging they bought me Ninja Turtles- much more fun then dressing up a stupid doll.

Really I'm not sure what to think of Barbie. Will I allow my little girl to play with one? Probably. But I am aware of the possible effects on her so I suppose I'd observe her play in the same way my parents observed mine...

But really is it any worse the way we give them baby dolls so they can grow up to be stay at home mothers and guns for our boys so they can grow up to be soldiers? I'll concentrate on LEGO's, art supplies, and books for my kids I think.

(PS, don't misinterpret this, I have NO problem with stay at home moms- I want to be one myself. I have no problems with our soldiers- I respect them and their sacrifices entirely. My point is, should we push our kids this way from the very beginning?)

Idk but I know it teaches the little girls a few things with baby dolls like a time when my grandmother put peanut butter in my sisters extra diaper then she thought it was poop lol.

Why not just ban Disney movies? Or any movies in general? Or TV? Internet? Hell, lets jus' ban Hollywood!

This is so pointless. Just teach your kid that peoples bodies aren't all alike.

Oh, and I think males have more potential to ruin a females "emotional and intellectual development" than a plastic doll.

I know but the little girls are usly near boys their age so not many little boys are pervs if I may say.

Yea? And at whatever age I used to play barbies, I didn't care about my body.
I started caring when guys would judge me; not when there was a doll in front of me.
