I know Muslim women engineers who feel very very sad that they can't wear religious Islamic clothing in this country because they feel it will make them the subject of discrimination. The one I know best is a power house who would be likely to outthink you 5 ways to Sunday if you tried to prevent her from doing anything she wanted to do. I think these would laugh at any attempt to see this as black and white.

As for me, I'm pretty much willing to use the "Fox News compliment rule" to say if Fox is outraged, Burka Barbie must be a better thing than I realized.

Shocking. Barbie has always been such a positive image for girls. What will become of the uneducated, anorexic housewives we have worked so hard to create all these years?

lmao isnt the barbie doll already a symbol of the opression of women?
