I saw Barbie website. You know, this site is presented for girls, and there are a lot of dress-up dolls who are beautiful princesses. Girls can change dolls’ dresses. Moreover, they can choose the color, theme, and shape of dresses or clothes that they want. They can also buy these dolls and their clothes by the internet order. They seem to be spending lots of time in this site.

In my opinion, feminists are likely to criticize this site, because they maybe think that it gives girls bad influences. I mean, girls who saw this site may think that beauty is good and I want to be beautiful like these dolls. These thoughts are easy to connect to the typical gender socialization in which beautiful women are more likely to be admired. But these opinions are the viewpoint of feminists, so in general, this site gives girls a lot of fun.
