I was going to go off on a whole rant about what a horrible and inappropriate toy this is, but then I figured the video makes that point pretty clear. At least you know what your options are if the store has a run on doctor Barbie, computer engineer Barbie, chef Barbie, dentist Barbie, or even race car driver Barbie.
For extra shits and giggles, or because I’m that bored I went to the doll’s website to check things out. My first response was that this shit cannot be for real. I mean, what normal person wouldn’t think posts like God supports the Breast Milk Baby or Little girls need to learn to breastfeed wasn’t straight from the Onion? Don’t bother clicking the link, their whole argument for why pre-pubescent girls should practice breastfeeding is this:
Little girls need to learn to breastfeed….The Breast Milk Baby lets young girls express their love and affection in the most natural way possible, just like mommy! … Just put on the fashionable top included with each Breast Milk Baby, bring the baby’s mouth up to the pretty flower, and enjoy the closeness, the loving bond between mother and child.
Won’t little Sally be confused when her breasts never develop into pretty flowers. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all for a woman breastfeeding her child if possible, but pushing such things on a child is a bit, oh I don’t know…cart before the horse? Maybe they should work on physical and emotional development and maturity first. Maybe even the importance of education, but clearly that falls too far into the forward-thinking side of things.
