Poll Results: Proposed Barbie Ban Sexist

march9to16survey

Last week, Prospere Magazine asked its readers how they felt about West Virginia politician, Jeff Eldridge’s proposed ban on the sale of Barbies in the state.  Close to 40% of you, at 37.5%, believed that his proposal was sexist, since he didn’t call for a ban on violent video games, predominantly played by boys.  These video games are often seen as being a bad influence on young people as well.  There were some of you, at 25%,  who thought that if Barbie is banned, then so should fashion magazines, television and so forth, since models and many actresses and singers are very thin (and therefore, a bad influencce) as well.  Nobody agreed with Jeff Eldridge outright, but another 37.5% of you chose “other.”  Perhaps you’d be interested in discussing this?
