I was with one of my grand daughters looking at dolls. She had one in each hand. A Cinderella doll, white skin, blue eyes, and blond hair. The other one was Tiana doll with dark eyes hair and skin.
I asked her which one was prettier? And which one she wanted?
I always remember Bill Hicks’ routine in which he said to the audience, “if you’re in marketing, kill yourself. I’m not kidding.” Nervous laughter ensued. He kept it up. It was wonderful. Imagine our system without the lying liars who spend billions each year manipulating the public for profit.

And are we supposed to guess the answer?
And are you sure she didn’t want a superhero instead? Or are those just for your grandsons?
I don’t make the rules, TV does thu marketing.
That’s almost exactly the study by psychologist Kenneth Clark that helped convince the Supreme Court to write Brown vs. Board of Education, cook!
I saw it somewhere, on TV or the web or the newspaper a while back, so I was just checking to see if this perception has changed any.
So no matter how modern the times are, the persistence stereo type keeps chucking along.
“Hat tip to fuck-face/dip-shit” ??
not interested – but thanks ..

I wonder where that lovely child got those silly ideas.
I would imagine she got them from her parents, who probably are teaching her to question conformity and convention. Yeah, silly idea.
Then why is her hair cut in conformity with the style of a girl?
Cuz she fuckin likes it that way! See?
I think she still would prefer a superhero. One that’s probably not pink.
How can you be sure she really likes her hair in the conforming female style?
Hasn’t society unfairly attached that label of feminine on her?
I think that most people should have unisex hair styles – and that some people should shave their ass and walk backwards.
I remember way back, long ago, when there was seperate bathrooms for the sexes.
Now you can get sued if your restroom don’t have unisex unials .
What century is that? the 24th?
Uh, cook — (1) we still do have separate bathrooms for the sexes when they’ll be occupied by multiple people and (2) that’s not a urinal, it’s a sink.
If there’s a long line, I’ve seen that sink become a urinal.
Never wash your face at an Angels game.
