"You can be anything" is a slogan used by Barbie to mean just that--you can be anything. The slogan is intended as a symbol of diversity and inclusion. This is the sort of positive message all kids need to learn.
Indeed, the many careers Barbie has held shows that slogan, even before it was a thing. At one time she was a nurse, but she later became a doctor, though she did become a nurse once again.

Discrimination against lawyers!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe all need to write into Mattel and let them know of this glaring oversight. Has Barbie been a judge? She should also be a lawyer.
ReplyDeleteI always liked that they made Barbie with all the different kinds of jobs. I think they started these after my girls had outgrown dolls, but still, it was a good idea. :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's great Barbie can be anything. Let's face it, she's a role model in many ways. I wonder when they'll make lawyer Barbie.
ReplyDeleteHuh, I wonder if there's an "Author Barbie" or an "IT Barbie"? I like the slogan :-)
