Barbie Doll or Ken Doll

Marge Piercy wrote a poem called Barbie Doll which is very feminist. If I had to redo it about men I would write it using the Ken Doll as a symbol. The Ken Doll was very masculine. He always had "man" jobs such as construction worker and father. He was very masculine. He had a perfectly chiseled chest, blond hair and, blue eyes. Ken was also very athletic. He was even a Olympic gold medalist. He was very well dressed and had the perfect outfit for any occasion. All in all Ken was the "perfect" man.
