Response 4 to Jaimee Schuster

Jaimee brings up two different points that I think they are both great add ons to the conversation we had today in class. The dolls every little girl owns/owned was Barbie. She has the perfect dimensions and is the ideal stereotype for a young girl. Like Jaimee said her proportions are off. Her head is bigger than her waist line. Obviously Barbie had her soul mate because she could not survive without a man, Ken. This idea of a partner to survive is not unique to this situation. People with disabilities tend to seem very needy and dependent. Women and people with disabilities are seen as the lower men on the totem pole.
