Truth Revolt ^ | 1/28/2016 | Trey Sanchez

Posted on 01/29/2016 6:01:08 AM PST by Bon of Babble

I the name of diversity and inclusion, Mattel has announced big changes to its Barbie product line again this year that will now include three new body types for the iconic doll: curvy, tall, and petite.

"The company hopes that the new dolls, with their diverse body types, along with the new skin tones and hair textures introduced last year, will more closely reflect their young owners’ world,"

Re: That word - diversity - is like fingernails on a chalkboard every time I hear it.

Me too. Mainly because the word as used no longer means what the word is supposed to mean. And in most cases these days it implies a rejection of white heterosexual males and often white females as well. It is frequently used as a value judgment instead of indicating a variety of different forms, ideas, etc. Talk about micro aggression! The common PC use of the word is a real form of micro aggression. People are being judged, not by the content of their character but by their level of skin pigment, the God given shape of their genitals, and by their sexuality.

As for Diverse Barbie, I think the term is being used more accurately. It does sound very PC. But Mattel has been losing a lot of money and is gambling on Diverse Barbie to bring the money back. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Tolerance diversity and AGW will make me stop listening or reading

Anyone using those terms has lost whatever argument they are trying to defend.

I remember when tolerance was the keyword in the 80’s, then the effing libs bastardized the meaning- Libs meaning of tolerance my point of view trumps your point of view.

Double BS:
The feminization of our culture has fermented the Political Correctness that is responsible for coming up with this whole Barbie thing.
BTW, I’ve heard the way women talk about other women and they are simply brutal about it.
Comparing the silliness of “guilty” or “not guilty” on a message board to the brutal, catty tearing down of other women’s appearance is silly....
Women are MUCH harder on other women and are ABSOLUTELY just as responsible for promoting this notion of “ideal” beauty as men are.

That’s PMS Barbie, who when she gets married transforms into Bridezilla Barbie. After, she becomes I-Gotta-Headache Barbie.

I have to agree. Did you see the neck on the tall barbie? Talk about a vampire’s dream.

This whole barbie thing though is nonsense. The PC crowd will never be happy until they’ve permeated every single facet of life.

You know men had nothing to do with these decisions because they left out the Two Fives makes a Ten Barbies.
