So I just wanted to share my fb "debate " with this girl. She made a status that said :
::: Y iS EVERY1 HAtiNG ON BARBiE??? LASt tiME i CHECKED SHE HAD HER OWN HOUSE, HER OWN CAR & A CAREER. SHE'S iNDEPENDENt. & SiNCE WHEN DiD BEiNG PLAStiC BECOME A BAD tHiNG??? PLAStiC iS COLD & HARD. U NEED tHOSE QUALitiES N tHiS WORLD. HMMM...MAYBE UR HAtiNG BECUZ U'LL NEVER B COMPARED 2 A BARBiEDOLL. [*DOLL DOMiNAtiON*]
And yes...I felt the need to comment and answer her question. i felt compelled to share my opinion. I am copying and pasting the debate below. And to keep her identity concealed I've changed her name to Simple Barbie Bitch! :) Enjoy!
[She deleted a post here it said : I have to disagree. Barbie is a good role model.]
RoByn VaLentine: Maybe for a child. For a grown woman..No, she is not. Barbie has no struggles...no failure to learn from. Just things that are given to her. That isnt the way things work..and mature women should look up to women who have worked harder to achieve a name ...besides aspiring to be like a plastic doll!
Simple Barbie Bitch: & tHAt GiVES U tHE RitE 2 HAtE ON HER??? i tHiNK NOt. & PLAStiC iS GREAt...itS DURABLE & VERSAtiLE. itS StRONGER tHAN GLASS. itS WHAtEVER U NEED it 2 B.
Simple Barbie Bitch: JUSt BECUZ U iDENtiFY WitH BARBiE DOESNt MEAN U LiVE iN A FANtASY WORLD. i HAVE MY StRUGGLES BUt i'M StiLL iNDEPENDENt, PREttY & PLAStiC. NO MAttER WHAt U CANt tAKE tHAt FROM ME. WHEN i tHiNK OF BARBiE i DONt SAY 'O i WANt tHE EASY WAY OUt. i WANNA B LiKE A CHiLDS tOY.' i REMEMBER EVERYtHiNG SHE StOOD 4 WHEN i WAS YOUNGER. WOMEN CAN B ANYtHiNG tHEY SEt tHEiR MiND 2.
RoByn VaLentine: lol. I dont understand how people can "hate" on a plastic childs toy. People express their dislike for the way tht women aspire to be like a toy...not necessarily "hating on" barbie.! She has her own house,car, career...because it was handed to her, she was made like that. It's all unrealistic. I just dont get why grown women want to be like a child's toy. A toy that the child speaks for, dresses, moves,...and grows out of. I just dont get the fascination.
Simple Barbie Bitch: WHEN PPL SAY 'UGH BARBiE tHiS, BARBiE tHAt' tHEYRE HAtiNG. WHEN REALLY tHEY SHOULD B EXPRESSiNG DiSLiKE4 tHE GiRLS WHO CALL tHEMSELVES DOLLS BUt HAVE NONE OF tHE CHARACtERiStiCS (PHYSiCAL R OtHERWHiSE)....MAYBE iF MORE PPL HAD ROLE MODELS LiKE BARBiE tHEY WOULD B N COLLEGE R WORKiNG tOWARD A CAREER iNStEAD OF DOiNG NOtHiNG WitH tHEiR LiVES. i DONt EVEN WANNA KNOW WHO tHEiR ROLE MODELS R. i JUSt DONt UNDERStAND HOW U CAN B UPSEt tHAt ANY1 ASPiRES 2 B LiKE HER.
RoByn VaLentine:lol. Because she is not real. Wanting to be a barbie is really a superficial shallow thing. Because if a WOMAN has a career, a job, a home all on her own and is not Barbies size,complextion, have perfect hair...what does that make her? Just another sucessful woman that young women should look up to. A woman who has actually worked for hers..a REAL woman. && In all reality no one looks like Barbie but Barbie. Barbies dont come in ALL colors, or all sizes. Barbies porportions are impossible to gain...Barbie doesn't talk, she lives in a box...she can be purchased for about $20 dollars! But grown women want to be like her?Smh. Women dont go to college saying " I want to be a Barbie...let me go to college and get an education." They have better REAL role models in their life. Ones that actually can tell a story and exude sucess.!
RoByn VaLentine: & being "Pretty and Plastic" can ALWaYS FADE! ALWAYS be easily taken away. Although I dont know why anyone would want to be plastic either..is it not good enough to be made of flesh? Not good enough to find real women to look up to?
Simple Barbie Bitch: BARBiES NOt A REAL PERSON...AND??? itS WHAt SHE StANDS 4. iF SOME1 CANt C tHE MEtAPHOR N tHAt R N BEiNG PLAStiC tHEN i'M NOt EVEN GONNA GO tHERE. itS tHE DEEPER MEANiNG. BUt HEY! SOME PPL ONLY BELiEVE N & LEARN FROM WHAtS CONCREtE, WHiLE OtHERS CAN APPRECiAtE tHE ABStRACt. it iS WHAt it iS.
RoByn VaLentine: Lol. I understand the "metaphor"..It's just soooooo many flaws in it! But like you said "it is what it is"! Keep believing, "Barbie"! :)
Simple Barbie Bitch: ALWAYS. :-)

"Real Barbies" are hard to deal with-ha ha. Know the type I mean?
The dolls do piss people off, also the Ken doll, her friend.
Nice post, Robyn!
Secretia
That had to be one of the DUMBEST views I've heard in a long time. Much respect for how u communicated with her. Smh. I plastic female rapper gets a lil shine now you got people "believing"in shit like that.
Girl who is that bird? HA. I couldnt even get thorugh the whole thing. Nip/Tuck's episode last night was about that. A lady had her nipples removed so her and her boo could be like Barbie and Ken...then that nigga turned out to be gay and got him a GI Joe!
I'm mad she dead-ass thought she was right! lol this damn generation...for the record, i'm tired of this Barbie bullshit too. Whatever happened to bein real? Plastic isn't real. && I wouldn't think of plastic as something [metaphor or not] I'd wanna be.
Great post and interesting topic. I like the way you handled this... even though you had a strong opinion on the topic, you were still MATURE and RESPECTFUL even though this chick was clearly a bubblehead!
*blank stare* Did she really put "Doll Domination". What is that, their fight call or something?? That shit is just sad. Makes you wonder what the fuck was going on with the actual people in her life that she had to have Barbie as a damn role model. SMH
Extremely funny and educated post. You broke it down to its very last compound. I agree - everything Barbie has was given to her. LOL.
Hilarious @ the photo's @ ' i REMEMBER EVERYtHiNG SHE StOOD 4 WHEN i WAS YOUNGER
Can a grown person's role model be a doll? And a doll that stands for nothing? I like that you girls didn't get down and dirty though. Good work.
Im just tired of every girl down ere in London changing their facebook name to Minaj or Lewinsky lool... Its got em gassed to the core
Congrats! You've received an award on my blog, check it out.
i totally agree with you!
ithought I was the only one irritated by that shyt..lol
I’m going to change my facebook status to “why do all these chicken’s want to be barbie’s? well fake and materialistic pretty much sums up there lives!”
But yea, this has got to end!
wow.seriously. this was a real convo u had with a chick?? girl needs to get slapped. i agree with everything you told this chick. if every grown woman was looking up to "barbie" then those women need to seriously GROW UP
Ehh, she was dumb. *rolls eyes and walks away*.
-Cook.ThePoet.
I'm so disappointed with her life. There is absolutely NO excuse! NONE, that justifies calling yourself a Barbie... EVER! And if you're not intelligent enough to come up with a concept of your own to idolize or whatever you are absolutely irrelevant I gave up arguing with the lil smuts. I just redirect them to my poem and let them relish in their ignorance.
