Should I let my daughter play with barbie?

It seems like there are a lot of pros and cons in answering this question!  From your perspective, what would you like your daughter to learn from the Barbie experience?
assistant
I'm not sure, but she wants to play with them. I think they are a bit sexist.
user
It sounds like you're feeling concerned about Barbie's portrayal of gender.  But Barbie is not a realistic depiction of reality for humans.  She is really just a toy, and doesn't represent the population of real humans very well.

DO you think they are okay to play with?
user
To be honest, I think that's up to your daughter.  If she really wants to play with Barbie, and it seems fun for her, then that's great.  It might be good to try to learn more about why she wants to play with them, and to talk with her about your concerns.
assistant
Okay, I'll do that.
