Torture Victim Barbie
A disturbing story from the U.K....
Girls hate Barbie so much that many admit torturing, maiming and even decapitating the doll.
The all-American toy has become a "hate figure" among seven to 11-year-old girls, who regard Barbie as a "babyish" symbol of their earlier childhood.
Researchers from the University of Bath questioned 100 youngsters about their attitudes to a range of branded products. The study found the iconic doll provoked the strongest reaction. "When we asked the groups of junior school children about Barbie, the doll provoked rejection, hatred and violence," said Dr Agnes Nairn.
"The meaning of "Barbie" went beyond an expressed antipathy; actual physical violence and torture towards the doll was repeatedly reported, quite gleefully, across age, school and gender. "The types of mutilation are varied and creative, and range from removing the hair to decapitation, burning, breaking and even microwaving."
Academics found that the girls' violent hatred of Barbie was linked to the doll's "rich symbolism".
Evidently and unfortunately, the socialist/feminist agenda is going swimmingly in the U.K.
