There is already Doctor Barbie though. Since the 80s!
- watwut 5y agoThese are not generic occupation Barbies, but modeled on some real world women: > Kirby White is an Australian doctor based in Victoria who pioneered Gowns for Doctors, an initiative behind surgical gowns that can be washed and reused by frontline workers during the pandemic. Dr White was inspired to create the gowns after her clinic experienced a shortage just three weeks into the COVID-19 pandemic last year. I don't see how it changes much of anything. The novelty is not to propagate being doctor to girls (quite normal occupation for women these days), but that this particular woman was made into barbie.
