"It's a movement, an aesthetic, a vibe," Fahrah told Insider. "Barbie is diverse now, like Black Barbie. She's had many different jobs. She's a doctor, a veterinarian, a real-estate agent. That's women, that's girls. We can be anything."

What the fuck does this even mean?

Call me a disgusting sexist but I personally wouldn't want to be treated by a doctor who is also moonlighting as a real-estate agent and veterinarian

Hilarious how nobody reads anymore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbie

The Economist has emphasized the importance of Barbie to children's imagination:

From her early days as a teenage fashion model, Barbie has appeared as an astronaut, surgeon, Olympic athlete, downhill skier, aerobics instructor, TV news reporter, vet, rock star, doctor, army officer, air force pilot, summit diplomat, rap musician, presidential candidate (party undefined), baseball player, scuba diver, lifeguard, fire-fighter, engineer, dentist, and many more. ... When Barbie first burst into the toy shops, just as the 1960s were breaking, the doll market consisted mostly of babies, designed for girls to cradle, rock and feed. By creating a doll with adult features, Mattel enabled girls to become anything they want.[40]
Barbie was all that from the beginning, but hey - let's pretend progressives came only with Gen Z.

It's just people wearing pink stuff. Reminds me of the J Peterman catalog descriptions (Seinfeld parody that is)
