If Barbie was a real person she would be over seven feet tall. She would be underweight for her height, and she would be too top heavy to stand up straight. Apparently women feel pressured to look like Barbie which is nearly impossible. Barbie has supposedly caused a lot of pressure on young girls to look like her. I disagree. I don't think girls care that much about Barbie's measurements. I never really cared about Barbie's measurements, the only measurement of Barbie I ever thought of is that she eleven and a half inches tall. I don't think that the designers of Barbie meant to make her so disproportionate. I don't think anyone cared that Barbie should be built to scale of a real person, and I don't think that it really matters that she is so disproportionate. People say that Barbie pressures girls into trying to be something that they can't, but I think that girls care more about Barbie's hair than her body.
