Why is being called Barbie an insult?
Besides being labeled as brainless bimbo, Barbie has been tied to anorexia, low self-esteem, and poor self-image. In short, many women are offended by the existence of an “ideal standard” that they should aspire toward, especially since that standard is both superficial and unrealistic.
Produced by the American toy maker Mattel, the 2016 line of Barbies comes in four body types: original, tall, petite, and curvy.
