MATTEL LAUNCHES NEW LINE OF "GENDER NEUTRAL" DOLLS

WHEN GENITALS YOU'RE BORN WITH ARE IRRELEVANT?
BECAUSE YOUR CHILD IS A LITTLE GOD, HE/SHE/IT CAN CHANGE GENDERS AT A WHIM, 
& RECREATE THE WORLD?
KIM CULMONE OF MATTEL SPEAKS FOR KIDS WHO CAN'T EXPRESS THEIR "GENDER NEUTRAL" WISHES?
THAT IS, IF YOU BELIEVE HER FANTASY!
Since its debut in 1959, Barbie has grown to be the most lucrative franchise for toy manufacturer Mattel. Despite their popularity, critics say the dolls perpetuate an unhealthy body image and gender roles. But Mattel has been trying to reinvent Barbie. They now include more body types, skin colors, and hair textures. The company is also tackling gender stereotypes with its new line, which it hopes will boost sales too.

Toy maker Mattel has announced it is launching a new line of “gender neutral” dolls, prompting some critics to accuse the company of trying to socially engineer children.
“Kids can customize the new dolls with long or short hair, pants or skirts, or both. The dolls come in six different skin tones,” reports Fox Business.
Kim Culmone, senior vice president of Mattel Fashion Doll Design, said the dolls were being released because “kids don’t want their toys dictated by gender norms.”
“Toys are a reflection of culture and as the world continues to celebrate the positive impact of inclusivity, we felt it was time to create a doll line free of labels,” she said.
An ad for the new product featured a boy with purple hair and one who was wearing an earring.
Some respondents accused the company of trying to socially engineer kids, contributing to making them confused about gender.
“This is all about social engineering,” commented Robbie Starbuck. “If @Mattel wanted to make a doll without defined private parts, totally fine, its been done many times and gives kids options. That’s not what’s going on here. This is social engineering masquerading as a toy.”
One wonders how successful the new line will be.
“Get woke, go broke” is a common refrain, but the amount of free advertising any company enjoys by pandering to identity politics is usually substantial.
