Religious right now attacks Barbie
Advertisements [?]
Oh brother! Tinky Winky, Spongebob, American Girls and now Barbie.

From Americablog: http://americablog.blogspot.com/ (scroll down some)

Snip: <The religious right is now attacking Barbie for promoting "gender confusion." According to the men at the Concerned Women for America, Barbie is urging kids to go bi:

"This is directed at children aged four to eight... that's a really young age to be directing something along the lines of bisexuality."

Yes, Barbie is making four year olds want to have sex with other four year olds of the same gender. And the Concerned Men would prefer that children have sex with four year olds of the opposite gender, I guess.

What's really going on here is that the religious right has been attacking Mattel for months, just like they went after Ford and Microsoft and Allstate and Kraft and every other major American company. This is just another way for them to attack Mattel and get Mattel to do something bigoted to make amends.

But claiming that Barbie is promoting bisexuality to four year olds, that's just whacked.

PS They also attack Barbie for not being a good Christian because good Christian girls only want to serve the Lord, get married, stay at home and have kids. I'm not making this up. I guess if you're a woman (or a doll) who wants a career, then you're a dyke. Link for the group: http://www.cwfa.org/articles/9788/CWA/misc/ >

I guess because so many of my fellow friends at my church are in college and one of my best friends this past summer graduated college to do social work is a bad Christian. :eyes: I guess I should tell her Sunday.
