and can't do anything without the help of men. This isn't as dismal as pediatrician Barbie telling Skipper (and the poor little girls) that her job as a pediatrician means she knows how to feed and diaper babies. No, Barbie, I think that job description is "Mom." Pediatricians do just a little bit more than that, like treat sick kids.

I would love to see this horseshit off the shelves but sales are probably brisk in the churchy parts of the country where men are men and women are fluff who work like rented mules behind the scenes.

As bad as Barbie has been for years, having her talk through these books makes her a hundred times worse.
