I can only hope instead that the experience of trying to carefully pick words that Barbie allows is so clunky and annoying that the girls are instead taught a lesson in how stupid and arbitrary authority can be. That by the time they're 16 they've figured out how to hack their way around the net nannys and they can't wait to reach the age of majority when no one will be able to foist that kind of crap on them anymore.

I would happily accept the irony of a generation of female hackers brought about by Barbie.
