Hi John,
Popped up in my F.B feed from Space.com. It took a while and a prompt from someone else that "something was wrong" -- (can't you see it!) before I noticed.
If a (real) young lady turned up at a star-party dressed in tight-fitting pants, a tight nebula top and heels, I'm pretty confident there'd be a long queue of male astronomers ready to lend a hand with that finderscope!
As others have pointed out correctly (on a more serious note) I'm not sure this really addresses the accusations about what's wrong with the way Barbie projects herself into the minds of those who receive or buy the dolls. It really is just the same old Barbie, with the same "iconic" (and unrealistic) proportions and "perfect everything", in slightly different clothes and posed next to a telescope.
Best,
L.
