Why I Hate Barbie: See Her Proportions On A Real Woman
Barbie circa 1960: killing self-esteem since way back when. *go to original post to view pictures
I’ve never bought my daughter a doll. There are a few lying around the house, gifts from relatives and friends. So far she has shown no interest. Her favorite toys? Dinosaurs. Dozens of plastic dinosaurs and assorted animals dad almost obsessively purchases for her.
Just tonight I had to break up a raucous dinosaur party being held on the coffee table. It was way past everyone’s bedtime. I’ve also stepped on the sharp claws of lost dinosaurs in the dark of night, have found them voyaging under the covers of my bed at the most inopportune of moments (if you know what I’m saying) have caught them hitching a ride in the car or floating helplessly in the kiddie pool in the backyard.
And it love it.
I’m dreading the day/hoping it never comes that my 3-year-old daughter decides Barbie is better than Brontosaurus.
I hate Barbie.
With tits out to there, feet only made for high heels and that creepy smooth area where her Lady Parts are supposed to be, I’m not sure Barbie is the kind of thing Violet, or any child, needs to grow up staring at.
Barbie is the Kim Kardashian of the toy world and I think we both know Kim isn’t anyone you want your kid emulating. In fact, I’m certain there is a sex tape or two in Barbie’s past that some wily publicist has covered up somewhere by over-publicizing the release of a Dream Mansion or an impossibly expensive convertible.
I’ve long expressed my disdain for Barbie and her uppity gang and have been perceived as uptight by people in my circle who think groping the doll and her big, blonde do is a harmless way for a young girl to spend the afternoon playing.
NO WAY! I’d say to well-meaning relatives who jockeyed to be the person to give Violet her first Barbie. I’ve actually tossed two Barbie gifts into the trash because I didn’t want Violet seeing them. I’d have sent them to Goodwill but felt I’d be perpetuating the systematic extermination of self-esteem Barbie has perpetrated lo these many years and so the trash seemed like the safest place to stash her skinny ass.
Now I have a new weapon in my anti-Barbie arsenal should anyone comment on why Barbie is unwelcome in my home. Huffington Post has published a photo showing Barbie’s proportions on a real woman.
Check it out:

The photo apparently began making the Internet rounds after Australian blog,
“So Bad So Good” tweeted it. As the Huffington Post points out, this isn’t the first time Barbie’s absurd proportions have made the Internet rounds, but it’s certainly worth the reminder.
See? Why would you hand your gorgeous little daughter, the pure and sweet love of your life, a naked grown woman with impossible tits, ass and hair to play with? And yet so many of you think I’M the weird one for wanting to keep these from my daughter’s universe for as long as possible. Yeah, sure, she’ll see Barbies at the houses of friends later on. She’ll probably also watch R-rated movies I don’t want her to see too. Either way it’s not happening in my house. When she asks if she can have a Barbie and I say nope and she whines BUT WHYYYYY I’ll have an answer ready to go:
Because I love you and because those dolls are awful and demean beautiful real women like you and I by subconsciously making us think that unnatural body and that hair is the way a real woman should try to be but thinking that way is like eating poison. It gets inside you and eats away at your thoughts, the good thoughts you think about yourself like you are beautiful just the way you are. Nobody on the planet looks like that. It’s freakish and gross and I don’t want you playing with something that could ultimately make you feel bad about yourself or value the wrong things or somehow make you want to try to live up to some impossible standard of womanhood set into motion within you when you first looked at the gigantic boobs and tiny waist of a creepy, plastic doll with big, bleached hair and too much make-up. NOW GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY!

| | |  | | Great Post, Thanks for sharing... Will tweet about it @yumiospublishing |
| | |  | | I grew up with Barbie's and I can honestly never remember thinking I needed to be like her. Barbie was THE doll to own. I understand where you are coming from, A lot of young ppl are way to easy to think that that is the way to be. Neither of my daughter's had any issue with the Barbie body. |
| | |  | | Yes, I also believe that BARBIE dolls give/gave girls a bad perception of the way a girl should look. Needless to say, I NEVER liked Barbie, and like others who've commented on your blog - chopped off her hair. I purchased American Girl dolls for my daughter. Each doll had a "history" to them. In fact, one dolls name is Addy Walker, and my grandmother's name was Addie Walker.... so loved that! |
| | |  | | Don't mess with Barbie! I WILL reach her proportions someday! Even if I have to have my legs surgically lengthened! |
| | |  | | Great blog you deserve a bump a tweet and a thank you. |
| | |  | | Im Glad my daughter didnt like barbie... Thanks for sharing |
| | |  | | Great post I had boys, didn't have to deal with barbies |
| | |  | | Very good Bolg. I was fortunate, I didn't have to deal with Barbie. My dagther didn't like dolls except for one cabbage patch doll. In fact, she didn't date until she was in the army. And now her daughter don't care for dolls. Thank God. |
| | |  | | Very interesting and cool blog post! |
| | |  | | Adrian, thanks for your thoughts on this blog. Some parts gave me a good laugh. When my daughter was in College, she was called 'real live barbie.' Since she has given me a beautiful grandson, glad to know it's not true. lol...To your success and I gotta share this! |
| | |  | | thanks for the thoughts. I grew up with Barbie and the gang and have 2 daughters that did. None of us have thought about looking like her. My 13 yr old races dirt bikes. |
| | |  | | great blog thanks for sharing |
| | |  | | Hi Adrian, Have 3 daughters and all three did fine without Barbie. |
| | |  | | thanks for sharing your blog with us |
| | |  | | Adrian, with almost everything you have to read behind the lines or the hidden meanings. All of the promgrams on TV or movies out need to be sensored and we must make sure that we know what is really behind them. Great blog and full of great info! |
| | |  | | I agree 100%. I have 2 daughters and I won't allow ANYTHING to make them feel less than what they are. We have to protect our childrens fragile minds. Great post. Thanks for sharing |
| | |  | | I'm not sure I have an opinion on Barbie, but I raised boys. |
| | |  | | Great post Adrian, I agree with you on Barbie. Thanks for sharing! |
| | |  | | Great post! When I was a kid, I always got even with the evil Barbie and chopped off her hair! |
| | |  | | Well written and good content, thanks for sharing, Go IBO! |
| | |  | | Nice blog post, thanks for sharing. I appreciate all the information. |
| | |  | | I've never been a Barbie fan either, even when I was a kid, and think it's so sad that so many beautiful women out there don't find themselves attractive because of the impossible standards our society generally imposes on them. |
