"I stopped playing around the age of eleven. I knew that it wasn't cool anymore. We girls were supposed to channel all of our creative and imaginative energy into attracting boys. A part of me really dreaded that loss of girl-centered play. I knew that the focus was shifting and I was hesitant to make the change."

As a child, did you think it was weird for boys to play with Barbies? How do you feel about that now?
"No, but I didn't know many who did. I would play Barbies with my brother and the one boy friend that I had. I still feel like it's totally okay for boys to play with them."

"I cant remember but I probably did just cause i always knew them as "girls toys" but now I think anyone should play with what they want, i mean as a kid i played with hot wheels as much as i did barbies maybe even more!"
