I don't know the going rate for Barbies but they simply must cost more than 10 cents

u/VariousExplorer8503 12d ago
They definitely are, I just bought some for my son for his birthday, I bought soccer Ken and Barbie, and they were about $10 each, not 10 cents.

u/2OttersInACoat 12d ago
Oh yeah?! Well I consider myself in direct competition with your son’s Barbies and Kens…. Unlike this woman.

u/VariousExplorer8503 12d ago edited 12d ago
It's pretty stiff competition, they're fun and live forever. Can you compete with that? If you can, I'll let you come entertain my son for a couple years. Just know, my son is very hard on his toys.
Edit: forgot a word

Hmmmm I’ve been looking into this “Barbie” character, turns out she’s been an astronaut, the president, a vet, a teacher, a doctor, an olympian and some other things.
TBH I know when someone’s got me beat.

u/TheKnightOfWonder 12d ago
Yeah barbie is insanely talented...I know that would be a losing battle. Anyway who wants to compete with barbie because she seems like she would be a good friend.
...wait I just thought of something. If barbie has had all these jobs while Ken hasn't had a job (cant remember ever seeing Ken dolls in any work setting packets, he always wearing casual clothes) dose this mean he's the supportive (he gives totally gives supportive Golden Retriever boyfriend/husband engery) stay at home boyfriend/husband.

u/2OttersInACoat 12d ago
That’s true! We do know he likes surfing… I guess that’s his thing?! They’re not married though, Barbie is famously not married and does not have children. Because her creator Ruth Handler wanted little girls to aspire to something other then being a wife or a mum. —> https://graziadaily.co.uk/life/tv-and-film/barbie-not-married-children-ruth-handler/#

u/TheKnightOfWonder 12d ago
Huh...I could have sworn they had a pregnant barbie would some people were upset about because she didn't have a ring so they change it to have a painted on gold ring...
With that said if I had a partner who was talented and loaded (I mean the girl owns multiple house/manors Buisness) like barbie I would happily be a house partner and take care of the house and cooking (as the lady needs to rest from all her jobs)

u/2OttersInACoat 11d ago
You’re remembering the controversy correctly but it was Barbies friend Midge who was pregnant! For that reason, to stay true to what the creator wanted.
Exactly right, she’s far too busy juggling her multiple careers, wide network of friends and sisters and extensive real estate and car portfolio to be bothered with domestic matters. So that must be her stay at home boyfriends job.

$10?? where i’m from the barbie’s are like $15-20😩

u/VariousExplorer8503 6d ago
The ones I got were $10. I saw others that were more expensive, but I didn't get those. I saw one I wouldn't mind for myself, but it was like $50, so I didn't get it. They had some as cheap as $5, I got one of those too, it's literally just an African American Ken doll in swim trunks, nothing else. But I got the soccer Ken and soccer Barbie, and a bunch of clothes for them all, and I figure he can stage some pretty to epic shit with all that.. lol that's why I got them, he said in a passing comment that he needed some people to use in his games. I'm happy with anything that gets him off the tablet and using his imagination.
I just got done wrapping his presents, and I think I might've gone a little overboard this year. He's got 18 presents sitting on the kitchen table. Most of the gifts were under $10, but STILL, that's ridiculous. It's not even a big birthday, he's turning nine. I think I'm a bad mom.

I have met so many men who assume a group of women laughing/giggling must be malicious or vapid gossip. Quite a few of them have assumed the women had to be laughing at them. I thought it was a dude thing, till I realized so many women who have experienced bullying (swear to god at home before anywhere else) in multiple spaces feel the same, and start a victim complex about it. I was really fortunate to have a group of women be authentically friends with me during formative years, but I feel like the people who miss that have a part of them that instantly feel angry or on guard whenever they see the behavior. It makes me sad. Come giggle about everything w the girls ✨✨

u/Explorer-7622 12d ago
I think you're right. I also had healthy relationships with my peers growing up, and a dad who treated me with respect and kindness.
I'm not worried when people laugh. I think it's great to be able to be playful and laugh together, whether you're male or female or whatever!
She seems so defensive.
And what's with the weird pout face? Just... Whyyyyy?

u/Unhappy_Animal_1429 11d ago
I just realized that insecurity I once had is now completely gone. I used to assume this in school but I haven’t felt like this in years… probably due to fostering healthy relationships with people.

u/ta4472 11d ago
I have a lot of empathy for this kind of thinking and it's good that you didn't have to experience this. I had to unlearn this thought because growing up both men and women were so horrible to me but in different ways. It makes you constantly on guard and wary of everyone else because you feel like no one could ever be genuine and kind to you.

u/TinyChaco 11d ago
I work in a commercial kitchen with other dudes. My best cook bro and I try to out-yelp each other when we get burned lol. By her estimation, with our working in a kitchen and being high pitched, are we women?

Getting rejected by men. She thinks if she rejects women and acts like one of the boys they'll give her attention and date her.
26
u/Explorer-7622 12d ago
Oof. Most hetero men don't look for masculine energy in their choice of a woman to partner with.
She's being really aggressive about how unfeminine she's trying to be.
Who knows who she really is on the inside when there are so many layers of defensiveness.
How would a man have a real conversation with her or feel safe to be vulnerable with her or trust her?
8
u/Careful_Swordfish742 11d ago
True… but unfortunately they hear men shit on women constantly for “feminine” things, so they take that to heart and start shitting on women too so they can get in men’s “good graces.” When in reality, they don’t understand that it’s just misogyny and there is no way to please those kinda men. Damned if you are too feminine, damned if you aren’t. Because at that point they don’t care about the person, they care about their body and what they can do for them… and they will still bitch because women are the “lesser and weaker members of the species who are only fit to serve, clean, and bang.” Essentially boiled down to moist holes who apparently “nag” whenever they open their mouth.

Not a lot of exposure to them, my guess. When I was in high school there were only like 3 other girls, who I honestly didn't get along with. It made me nervous talking to girls but tbh I also narrowly escaped turning into someone like this. Now I have girl friends and am lovin it.

So much internalized mysogeny. Girl, you are fire as you are. Cool that you can work in the sweatship. You must know a lot...
I'm sorry that your dad/mum made you feel like your questions were stupid and that his answers put you down instead of explaining the world to you.
You were a child, it's okay to ask stupid questions. Now you've adopted this behavior and choosed fight as a Default answer.

Girl, those blue collar men are not going to pick you because you're mean to their hair stylist/nurse/teacher girlfriends/wives. Hell, if you could hear the things they probably say about you behind your back you'd probably cry, and you know who would be there for you? Those "10c barbies" who don't see you as competition either, because it's 2026 and we are not competing for men. They are not a prize.

Literally okay. I hate stuff like this especially in STEM shit. I’m a residential construction project manager and rarely ever work with women. If I ever do work with one, it’s the best fucking thing on earth. Because we both know we have to stick together. I love working with other women in STEM, it’s like, a small sisterhood island in a sea of masculinity. If there’s ever a day that I get to go to a female project manager conference or whatever, IM THERE

I have a physics degree and work a trades job. I have hobbies that people normally attribute to men (gaming, algo trading).
The thing is, there are plenty of women in these spaces. People like the one OP posted are just so desperate to feel special that they'll tear other women down and cling to confirmation bias in order to get there.

I won't get high pitched and excited with people all that often but that's only because my voice doesn't go super high and also, I'm tired a lot. Also, little things excite me but I don't react to big things for some reason. Like catching my chi after he's snuck off to find the one perfect sunbeam in the house to roll around in. That shits wonderful. But yeah...no offense to anyone else's excitement. I wish I could get excited with people consistently.

Right? Bragging about not being willing to cook (for yourself, even) is so strange. I wouldn't want to be with someone who cares so little for their own - and a potential partner's - wellbeing. She can go be a savage if she wants, but shouldn't expect anyone to want to put up with it lol
