Bratz. Need i say any more?

Those dolls are pretty graphic and the clothes do suggest those who work in the sex industry. I do wonder what we are teaching are young female children. The only commodity that is worthwhile about women is their sexuality. Then we wonder why women allow themselves to be treated like a piece of meat and objectified. This is the lessons they have been taught as children with the toys and dolls they have grown up on.
I think they are abhorrent and I would never allow any of my children to play with anything like this.

I'd say so. Those Bratz dolls look like streetwalkers.
I also find it amusing that feminists are for "women's sexual liberation" then do a complete 180 and denounce such dolls. Trying to have it both ways.

Bratz, the Pussycat Dolls, that shirt in A&F that said "Who Needs a Brain When I Have These?" (I'm serious. They did it.) It's all part of a grand centralized media machine.

The 'machine' is not to blame--the parents are.
Unthinking consumers allow their children's childhoods to be evaporated by such stuff.
There is great power in the word NO.
Good luck

Actually, I think the blame falls more to the parents than it does to advertisers and doll makers. But the blame falls squarely on you if you think they are sluts.

Is "women's sexual liberation" as advocated for by the feminist movement turning young girls into fashion obsessed sluts?

Yes along with music videos and Victoria secret commercials and rap music.

Yes, they could look so much classier, I would never let my daughter buy one if I had a daughter.

Only if their parents allow it to happen.
