Barbie Movie Spoiler Alert...I will be talking about the Barbie movie today! If you have not seen it yet- go see it! Today we are discussing a part of the Barbie movie that not many people are talking about...Barbie's friend Midge...the pregnant Midge.Midge has come and gone in the Barbie franchise many times since she was introduced in the mid-60's. But it was the pregnant version of Midge that was so controversial. Pregnant Midge was introduced in 2002 as part of the "Happy Family" series with Alan and their son Ryan...and Midge almost immediately created such an uproar that the doll was discontinued that same year.Why the uproar? The overwhelming argument was that a pregnant Midge would encourage & glorify pregnancy....what????? Society is perfectly ok with children playing with baby dolls and pretending to be parents...but not ok with playing with an actual mother.

How do you feel about politics? How do you feel about advocating for your political views? This is a tough, vulnerable topic for me! I was raised in a "high-control religion" (aka: a cult) and was taught from infancy that I was "separate from the world" and was not allowed to have any political opinions or affiliations. I was not even allowed to say the Pledge of Allegiance. I was 20 before I said the Pledge for the first time!!!Now I am in a place and time where I can be more politically active...and it is both exciting and scary for me. What about you? How do you feel about being politically active?
