'The campaign refers to Barbie as "the doll that started it all," and uses the hashtag "#Unapologetic" to promote buzz around the issue."

Some will say how is this a men's right issues, I get that but for me this is personal. I often avoid being personal on this sub so please, indulge me for a moment.

I remember spending many any an hour playing with my cousins when I was little. That time together helped to maintain and deepen a relationship with my extended family.

Often my brothers and I would bring our GI joes to play with our cousins. GI Joe would protect the dream house or base for Barbie. Eventually C.O.B.R.A. would start to overwhelm GI Joe and all would seem to be lost. Untill, Barbie joined the fray her being a 6" doll and GI Joe being a 4.5", meant in our child minds she was more powerfull. Barbie would turn the tide of battle and WIN!!! C.O.B.R.A. never won a battle against Barbie. The tea party that would follow was alway epic, hours of imaginative play would always follow. Plus what makes a better tank than the barbie car wich my oldest cousin was only allowed to play with because she got it for getting all A's one perticular year. Barbie and GI Joe was a factor in helping to reinforce a strong family bond between me and my cousins. Now, my second cousins are finaly getting old enough to play with Barbie and know that they will be a gift I'm proud to give the very next chance I get (also one is two years way from being old enough for his first all metal Tonka Truck). The only toy better we could find as a group was the stick outside.

I would like us in this sub to share if you feel like it how this toy, has made an impact on your life. This toy has changed the world for women and men.
