SuperGirl that i dont care about

Before reading this essay, i didn't care about Barbie.  After seeing that the essay is eleven pages, I really didn't care about Barbie.  After reading this essay, Barbie is kind of cooler.  Now she is something more then just a Barbie.   But what does that say about our society?  That we are paying this much attention to a doll.  Because of my 'y' chromosome it is still hard for me to care about Barbie and it is still somewhat foreign to me to think of her as anything else as a doll, but the article did put her into perspective for me.  And that's all i really have to say about this one.
