"I never did have Ken, nor any older siblings army guys to use. If I wanted a guy I had to choose between Woody and Buzz Lightyear, both of whom already had distinct personalities. Buzz was a playboy, but all the girls knew it so he never broke their hearts. Woody was a sweetheart. A little stubborn but he was alright. Only ever had one romantic relationship in all of my storylines. Other than that, if I needed a male, he'd have to be a toilet paper roll."

When I was little, my Ken dolls were very submissive. My Barbies ran everything. They brought home the money while Ken stayed home with Tommy and Kelly.
