I can see where a person my be wary of young girls' exposure to Barbies might lead to higher expecations of what society might consider beautiful (or successful, considering Barbie's lifestyle*), but are they not worried about the psychological implications that other toys may carry? I'm noticing that Barbie has stepped out of the spotlight, while Bratz have seemed to take center stage. Personally, I'm more afraid of the long-term affects of Bratz than Barbie. Bratz to me look like little more than ghetto bizatches who spend what letting money they have on bling. Is no one worried about young girls wanting not only to be hot, but hot with lowered expectations in life?
**Barbie is clearly disgustingly rich, considering all the dream houses, RVs, sportcars, and warehouses of clothes she can afford.
