            There are some bullshit earlier in the year about Donald Trump versus Barbie, but I thought Barbie was a pMattel product? I don’t really remember there’s so much BS going on that I can’t keep track of it all now.

              Hasbro and Mattel made a cross licensing agreement in the beginning of this year, so probably a Hasbro product with Mattel licensing or something.

                I have never once thought that the Barbie toy manufacturers would be relevant in American politics but I guess my 3rd grade teacher was right - Girls who play with Barbies can be a part of local governance…

                  Barbie has been huge for politics but in a subtle way. It was the first doll made for girls that didn’t need some kind of help (needing to be feed, being a literal baby or child etc.) and was represented as being fully independent. It was a huge boon towards letting girls know that they weren’t doomed to be homemakers.

                  I’d actually prefer girls who played with Barbie’s quite a bit more than the man who would sexually assault barbie, so I hope those girls will be part of state and federal too.

      California pays more in taxes than they use federal funding. Going after their pocketbook will only hurt the feds
