Thread regarding Mattel Inc. layoffs

What is this "Dream Gap" nonsense the CEO was on about today?

He said that starting at age 5 little girls stop believing their gender can do or be anything. What a load of s-xist, misogynistic bullsh!t. Also gender is not the same as s-x, suggesting all little girls are female a transphobic and regressive view of gender. Gender is a social construct and has nothing to do with biological s-x.

If they were all let go it wouldn’t matter. Couldn’t be any worse than it is today.

It’s just the research team trying to make themselves useful. Surprised they are still here.

I completely agree with the poster, I have two daughters and my husband and I have always taught them that they can be anything they want when they grow up. The fact that Mattel is pushing this garbage and telling young girls that at age 5 they will probably stop believing their gender can do or be anything is terrible. What kind of message is that sending? I always thought the Barbie brand did a great job showcasing what a woman could do, but now thats not good enough, you need to promote some made up physiological problem and convince girls they are worthless unless they buy Barbie dolls to cure them of their self loathing?! Fire whoever came up with this concept!

Will this be Mattel's BIG NEWS at NYTF 2019? They littered NYC with "Dads Who Play Barbie" banners last year. Just our latest desperate cry for attention. Predecessors include fat Barbie, dad-bod and man-bun Ken. Another yawn from Ynon.
