Barbie - Just Another Ploy in the Gay Agenda

Not that I find it all that odd to come across something ridiculous on the Concerned Women for America website, but this one will have me chuckling for a while. CWA is advising parents to keep their children away from Barbie.com because it's unsafe; just another tool for those promoting "gender confusion". (Click here to listen to CWA Culture and Family Institute Director, Bob Knight, describe the danger.) Apparently there is a poll on the site designed to determine favorite winter activities among Barbie fans, ages 4 - 70+ despite CWA's comments that 4 - 8 are the only options, but wasn't the inclusion of wearing "way-cool" winter clothes that has CWA in an uproar - it's was the third option of "I don't know" in the gender category.
A spokeswoman for Mattel, when contacted by ABC for comment, explained that the third option was an error meant to be a nonresponse option reading "I don't want to say". Until contacted by ABC Mattel knew nothing of CWA's objections, and the survey has since been corrected. Could it be that CWA is so wedded to their view that America's children are being groomed for a new world order that they didn't even bother investigating the possibility that the objectionable option was a mistake by making a simple phone call? Somehow I find that far more likely than the notion that a child can be made to question their gender by the innocuous inclusion of a third, nonspecific, option.
Tell you what - give me a call when Mattel includes "Trangendered" as an option. Until then, while I thank you for your constant insistence that one's sexual identity is something one can be recruited into, isn't there another form of inclusion and nondiscrimination you could focus on for a while?

You should include this post in GLBT Progressives. I was going to blog about Barbie but haven't gotten around to it yet.
I wasn't quite sure about the posting rules on GLBT Progressives - I'll go ahead and do that now.
I say if it's gay-related or if it exposes the religious right, post it. It's all ammunition for the upcoming amendment fight. And it's nice to keep it collected in one place.
