Does Barbie have cankles?

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/52/150046632_17c32884d7.jpg and if ever a Barbie might be prone to cankles, it would be the preggers version. Yes, it has gone too far. We bombard girls and boys, teens, and young women and men with images of “perfection” which don’t reflect reality. We do this with dolls, print publications, cartoons, TV, movies, and fashion ads (in which models are either airbrushed before the shoot or photo-shopped after). We’ve done so since the 60’s. We’ve created a fairytale of perfection, and children have become indoctrinated to believe that *they* are somehow flawed unless they can reach these impossible standards. Teaching self-acceptance and the concept of “personal best” whether it’s in sports, school, or appearance, can undo some of the damage to young egos. But sometimes the damage takes a lot longer to overcome. Yes, it has gone too far.
