Ken Dolls

[Desdinova]

A few weeks back, me and my gf went toy shopping. No, not THAT kind of toy shopping!!! :nono:

She wanted to browse the Barbie section for the hell of it, so I said sure. We were both blown away at the line of Ken dolls. Are these supposed to be a reflection of society, or are they supposed to be what women consider the 'ideal man'? Take a look for yourself:

They all look gay. Why isn't Ken masculine?

you have to take in to account the target audience, little girls.

They would probably be drawn more towards the cute, little boyish bieber look than the vin diesel, i'll crack you in the jaw look.

fashion and design is heavily dominated by gay men..it is no surprise that their influence can be clearly seen

Ken is so alpha that he can get away with wearing s*** like that

With that reasoning, the female G.I. Joe character action figures (Scarlett, Lady J, ect) should be a hell of a lot more sexual than these :

Oh, well, at least it has tits.

ha ha..
When my now ex-wife would go clothes shopping for me, I'd respond by calling myself "Ken."

Yikes.

What if the ''SHAVING FUN KEN Doll'' is anatomically correct?

Is this a mere coincidence?

I agree.
Just keep it g-rated with a feminist bent.

Yep its the world we live in these days. Don't offend anybody!

Wow, so that's where they got the Ken model from. Never saw High School Musical and I don't want to.
