In her own playful, excitable style, Ruby points out that girls can do anything boys can do. Considering she’s already met Gloria Steinem, she may be the world’s youngest feminist!
Ok, I really really dig this. But I have to say it's pretty disappointing to see this stuff sponsored by Barbie. Sure, everyone played with them, but maybe it's time to get beyond her...is there a Feminist Barbie? Is she trying to eliminate the other forms of oppression also at the root of oppression? Ruby seems beyond Barbie, so why aren't we?
Barbie gets a bad rap. I know there's problems with body image issues and the fairy princess themes, but at least she's not another baby doll. She has careers, often in male-dominated industries like medicine and space-travel. She's the center of the action and Ken's the peripheral accessory, which is the gender-opposite of the usual Smurfette set-up. With a few tweaks, Barbie could be a feminist.

I was also a bit turned off by the Barbie sponsorship. However, it is a far cry better than Bratz. Those dolls are awful!
