GASP! Unboxing the CONTROVERSIAL Teen Talk Barbie Doll!

[@yulia_plat]

I'm sorry, but as someone who graduated from university with a degree in mathematics, I don't see what's wrong with the phrase "math class is tough". Barbie did not say that "math class is not for women" or "I hate math class". She just said it was tough. Many things in the world are tough, that doesn't mean that a person who thinks they are tough will never do them or become successful at them.

Generally speaking as a woman who grew up loving Barbies and still do, I don’t believe this doll was harmful… Ever? The phrases is perfectly fine, and the only people that were hurt by it clearly were trying to find reason to attack the brand for the sake of it. “Math class is tough” as someone who was a teenage girl a few years ago, *big yes it is* that doesn’t mean, as everyone said, it’s a bad thing. Barbie saying all of these phrases were meant to make her relatable for kids, like she was really “talking” to them

Eh, it's a weird one for me. On the one hand yeah I think it's pretty harmless. But on a whole it was still symptomatic of a generalised pooing on maths and science for girls - just one little thing among so many others and together they are harmful. Normalising girls whinging it's tough just says yeah, it is, every girl thinks this way, so who cares about math - and the media will just go after Barbie because she's popular. Barbie can't get a break though, I'm pretty sure she has a math teaching doll several times over. They just go for her because she's low hanging fruit.

Joey, on the doll that isnt working try take a mini flat head screw driver like the ones used to repair eyeglasses and scrape the metal contacts inside the battery compartment. If there is a metal piece inside the battery cover on the dolls back, try bending it up slightly to make a better connection with the batteries. Use canned air and blow out the metal corrosion. Replace the new batteries and then try holding the button down on the back of the doll for a few seconds.

I’ve had probably 10 of these dolls in my life, and each one is different. I have been lucky to find two that did say math class is tough, there’s probably about 3000 that say that phrase. So if you’re just casually finding them I’m sure you’ll run into one. One of my “math class is tough” dolls actually had a hard time working at first. And I willed her to talk by honestly just fidgeting with her battery’s and pressing her button. And eventually she spoke. Then she said the phrase. It was awesome. I hope you can get yours to talk eventually. I’m very curious what she says. Because I’ve never seen her box style before, and two extra phrases would be interesting to hear. I betcha she could be the British version because her hair style is uncommon for the blonde doll. She has the kanekalon(however you spell it) hair fiber and usually those dolls had fluffy bangs and crimped hair that went all the way up to the root! Beautiful dolls. I loved the one that spoke when she said you’re her best friend it was touching.

[@BeautyInsideABox]

[@AlyceMalyce]

I hated math class beyond simple mathmatics, I find no use for anything beyond addition, subtraction, multiplication and simple divison. Which I can do in my head. But beyond those I find no use for advanced math. So yes math in higher grades was hard for me as I found no use for it, it became so very hard to learn. My learning style is that I need it to be useful, intresting or creatively taught or I have a hard time with learning. Sadly my teachers hated that, but eh I'm old now and they now do learning based teaching.

[@snezanavujisic7368]

Great video, thank you! I got that Barbie, but she speaks Greek!

When I saw this video, I thought I'll finally find out, so thank you for sharing all the info.

[@LishB1011]

People criticizing Barbie for liking feminine things miss the point of feminism. Insisting that "feminine" things are inferior implies that "masculine" things are superior, s concept that is rooted deeply in the patriarchy. Feminism is about having choices, and being multifaceted. Barbie likes pink, shopping and wearing dresses, but she also has had so many careers in male-dominated industries, even before women were "allowed" to work those jobs. And math class *is* tough for some people, regardless of gender. It doesn't mean she's bad at math, it just doesn't come easily to her.

[@milic5749]

I read about this doll as a kid in a very feminist magazine for young girls called New Moon; I think the doll was a few years old at that point, but there was an article about its controversy and it seemed to go with the expectation that readers would agree the phrase "Math class is tough" was harmful and that Mattel was right to remove it. At the time I didn't understand what was wrong with it, probably in part because I was too young to have had a lot of exposure to the "girls are bad at math" stereotype, as my school was pretty progressive, my dad was a math teacher, and I was good at math so I was vaguely insulted by the implication that I would stop being good at it just because of a talking doll. (Also, when I reached calculus in high school, math did get a lot harder for me, so when I was the "age" this Barbie was probably meant to represent, yeah, math class *was* tough.) But wow. I was there for the controversy and it's still being talked about. The real question I have is, since the UK dolls have British accents, I wonder if they say "maths" instead of "math."

[@nuclearcatbaby1131]

I actually found math was less hard after elementary school once you forget all the bad habits they drilled into you about how to do math. I actually got good at mental arithmetic from playing Pokémon for a few years and calculating battle damage in my head. Math only became hard again after my foster parent threw me out and I realized I have crippling anxiety in the classroom now that home became a comfortable place to study. So I had to study the whole lower division math curriculum at the library and get special permission to take upper division math classes at my university.

[@Franniiv3]

I like the colour palette of the '6 Phrase' one too. I mean this nice, 15:06 but does it seem like that one has a little bit of a 'bloated' look in the face from the side? Especially compared to the '4 Phrase' Doll. I still have my original Doll, I don't have any of the original clothes or acessories, but she's in a cute outfit. I took the batteries out years ago so they wouldn't leak, not sure if she still Talks. xo

As someone with Dyscalcula I would of definitely found the phrase relatable. I agree with you Joey like I feel the phrase was ment to be relateable.

But Math class is tough. I'm a woman who was in tears when it came to my math homework. It only got better when I had accommodations to use a calculator in my math classes. It's not anti feminist to have women say something is tough. Also Barbie has been a scientist, astronauts and so many other STEM professions that her as TEEN saying math is hard is actually relatable. If you want to humanize the plastic woman so much then you need to let her be a teenage girl

[@BeautyInsideABox]

I totally agree! She can still be good and math and find it tough. People put ridiculously high expectations on Barbie

[@nuclearcatbaby1131]

I need accommodations to be allowed to stay home to study (I’m AuDHD and the in-person class experience absolutely stupefies me with anxiety) and not be required to attend class except for labs and tests. My community college (I’m not so stupid that I couldn’t go to a real college right out of high school, my abusive foster parent just wouldn’t let me apply to a real college) refused to make this accommodation so I had to switch majors to something that could be mostly done online just to transfer to a real college.

[@Siansonea]

I remember when these dolls came out, I always loved them. I have about 6 or 7 of them, I got them all when they were new. I don't know if I know what all of mine say, there might be some I never even put batteries in at the time, because I really just liked all the hair, eye and outfit variation of the dolls. I mainly got redhead and brunette versions as I recall. I should pop batteries in all of mine to see if any of them still talk. I know that I have two green-eyed redheads wearing the mint green ensemble, I like that I got 'twins'.

[@MmMm-sf7pe]

For context, this was an era where a common stereotype was that Girl Brains weren't analytical enough to be doctors, engineers, etc. Women were "supposed to" be in socially oriented careers because "boys are naturally good at math, girls aren't." Mattel CHOSE "Math is tough" when they could have had Barbie say anything else. I'm sure the intent wasn't malicious, but I'm also sure it reflected to the biases of the people who made the doll. "What subject would Barbie have trouble with? OBVIOUSLY math, she's a girl." Imagine if the Naturalista doll line created a doll who said "Some days I hate my hair!" Most women, including black women, do feel like that some days. But that still wouldn't be appropriate.

[@BeautyInsideABox]

Very good point. Although I do also think math was probably chosen because a lot of kids struggle with it. But yes there are probably some unconscious biases showing here

⁠@@nuclearcatbaby1131I’m also autistic and I have extreme difficulty trying to do math. But just because I am unable to solve some complex calculus equation doesn’t mean I’m stupid.

I can also tell you all about music from the 80s and all about Pokemon. I know more things than people expect me to know. Not being able to do math is something that you shouldn’t be ashamed of but society refuses to accept that fact. It’s socially okay if you can’t read because you’re dyslexic but you are “wrong” if you can’t solve algebraic equations within two minutes and say that you can’t do it.

The fashion of this doll is gold! Back then I thought she was amazing. She still is. Just in her time yesterday, just weirdly cool now.

I got an Astronaut Barbie when I was four and my twin sister got a talking Barbie, perhaps it was this type of Barbie but the year is wrong. Funny how I ended up being good at math and science and my twin sister didn’t.

The Barbie movie did reference Teen Talk Barbie.
