Would you buy Barbies for your children?

"I think that you can't shield your children from popular culture. If I had a daughter I would try to be sensitive to her desire for a Barbie. I would probably give in, but I would try to offer alternatives like a Beth Ditto album and a copy of 'Free to Be You and Me.'"
