I thought that was like the point of Barbie. As a kid it was like Barbie was a vet, a doctor, a fucking astronaut, etc. and had a sweeeeettt house and car that she earned for herself (at least in my world). That's empowerment.

Ginny Rommetty, CEO of IBM, she commands a company that employs almost 400,000 people, her annual salary (bonuses and other perks aside) is close to $20,000,000 a year.
Mary Barra, CEO of GM, she makes over $16M a year, she heads a company that employs over 216,000 people (so basically, if you count everyone in Salt Lake City you'd still be 26,000 people short of the number people whose jobs fall below hers at the company), GM declared a revenue of almost 39 billion dollars in the last quarter of 2015.
May-Britt Moser is a Neuroscientist who won the Nobel in Medicine in 2014. She's also the head of her department at her University in Norway.
General Ann Dunwoody was the first female 4-star General in the history of the US Army. During her time (she's retired now) she managed the largest logistics operation in the history of the US Army (which is not exactly small).
There are thousands of others, but I'd say those are better examples of "empowered women," you know, considering they are either women that can wield power over literally hundreds of thousands of employees any day of the week, or send ripples throughout the economy by decisions they make at work, or because they can speak at a conference anywhere and large groups of people will stop and listen.
Being fat is not power, it's just personal neglect. Power is power.

Just imagine if the business world wasn't so internally and openly fatphobic, these mildly capable twigs would be quickly replaced by REAL women who actually know how to fix problems.

“Hello, I’m a fat person, fat, fat, fat,” A 6-year-old girl giving voice for the first time to curvy Barbie sings in a testing room at Mattel’s headquarters. Her playmates erupt in laughter.
Kids don't give a fuck, and don't want your fat acceptance bullshit.
Read the whole article, fat moms like it, kids think it's fat and stupid.

Fat moms are the ones with the debit card. They'll force Blubber Butt Barbie on their kids.

Yeah, they say another girl wouldn't call it fat because she didn't want to hurt it's feelings. Even she knows that fat = bad
[–] VioletAura 0 points 6 points 6 points (+6|-0) ago
Sad part is now the more planet sized fatties are gunna whine about making ones that represent them. They will never be satisfied with this.

Shoving donuts and Starbeetus down a mayo maw is not the same as getting pregnant. The new Barbeetus is eating for 3 by the looks of it.
