Here is an American Institution even hard-core Feminists can't entirely put down.  Barbie



My mom would give my daughter a Barbie for Christmas and birthdays.  Treasured possessions.

That video made every sexist gene in my DNA stand up and salute. :shock::D:P

Lalanya loved her dolls and the thought of giving them up as she got older made her want to cry.

It's only natural you feel that way. :D

Genetics plays a role but is this sexist?  Sexism is discrimination against a gender but IMHO you are discriminating in your taste and not discriminating against the gender.  There is hardly a culture on the planet where the women do not enjoy getting "dolled-up."

Barbie is about play, dreams,  fantasy.

From the stuff of dreams comes the most stunning reality. "In my dream, I was sitting in a field weaving flowers into purses with this wonderful feeling of peace and grace surrounding me."   - Mary Norton
