So far we have seen how Barbie's are manufactured with no real-life measurements.
Let us take a look on how Barbie dolls would look if they were made on the basis of real measurements of the average of women population.
Now, when we see both dolls standing next to each other, we can say that the one on the right (the way we look at the picture) is the one looking more healthy than the other one.
She is not overweight, she is not THAT short, her breasts have the normal size as a regular woman's do her neck is not that prolonged and her belly is flat as well and curvy on the side. That is how a big majority of women look like. Next to her the real Barbie doll looks "extraterestrial"
in a way but also since we have been used to her she also seems pretty (let us not lie to ourselves).
The point of this study though is not to determine which is prettier but to show ho far away Barbie's depiction is of a real person's one.
The unhealthy body shape that Barbie is promoting has nothing to do with women in our days and we can safely say that the differences are VAST!
There have been studies where real women's faces next to a Barbie ones indicate how scary this twisting of the body shape that Barbie is promoting can get.
Do you want to find out more?
Stay tuned!
PS. For the meantime I am presenting more pictures of the study
