Hasn’t Barbie had basically every job on the face of the earth?
And isn’t the reason she’s so skinny something to do with her being able to actually stand up?
If I recall, her body shape just comes from the fact that it makes the clothing look flattering instead of frumpy on her, and appearing normal shaped when it’s on her
(And being based on the naughty German doll that’s also based on a naughty comic)I can honestly say that I never once as a little girl looked at my Barbies and thought “oh man I must be worthless because I don’t look like that!“. I didn’t aspire to her body type any more than I aspired to the body type of my Care Bears. It was just a damn toy.
