This could potentially be a huge topic and I really intend for this to be a short note with observations from some shopping my wife and I did yesterday, but our culture fails women in so many ways. Our public society has no idea what a woman is. First, some trivialities. Behold:
Where's the furniture? Oh yeah....on the walls.
The first thing my wife said when we saw this dollhouse was
That’s lame! There’s no furniture; it’s painted on the walls. Where’s the fun in that? The fun of a dollhouse is rearranging things.
Oh, but it gets worse:
This is not an oven!
Hopefully microwave ovens haven’t completely replaced a real oven in the practice of American mothers preparing food for their families. Of course, I don’t take this too terribly seriously, but I do take this seriously:
Looking for a Slut-in-the-Box?
These Bratz dolls are some of the worst. People think Barbie is bad for girls because she has a good figure? Dude….at least Barbie is usually wearing clothes you’d let your daughter wear. These dolls look like they want little girls to pretend they’re dressed to go to a club and end up in some strange man’s bed the next morning.
Do you notice the one on the bottom right? Here’s a closer look:
Chloe's Room? Down the hall and to the right.
The only thing you could do to make this look more like a brothel is to put a box of condoms under the bed.
Seriously? Do we want our little girls to build their childhood fantasies with this rubbish? I don’t. I want my daughters to know about healthy romantic relationships, and this isn’t it. These toys are hyper-sexualized and completely trivialize the real beauty of femininity in favor of worthless materialism and the degradation of being entertainment for men. Woe to the man who marries a little girl who grew up with this trash as the basis for her expectations of romance.
