So I got my niece a Barbie for her birthday. I plan on getting her one for every birthday and every Christmas, just like when I was a kid. Thought it would be nice "tradition" to carry on. Of course she loved the Barbie, but my brother started saying that maybe I shouldn't be giving her Barbies because of unrealistic body image bullshit or some shit like that. I told him she is a smart girl and knows that Barbie is just a doll. I never once felt I had to look exactly like a Barbie when I was a kid. I didn't develop a complex because of Barbie. What a load crap.  I'm still plan on sending her a Barbie for every birthday and Christmas.
