Barbie Doll

Barbie Doll written by Margie Piercy. This poem was written about how society perceives how young woman should be. If I were to re write this in comparison to how society perceives our young men I would compare it to WWF wrestlers. I think society puts alot of pressure on our young men. I believe society thinks our young men should be the bread winners, Stronger than women. Young men that grow up with no male interaction struggle with identity. Some young men tend to play alot of video games which sometimes leads them to trouble down to road. Men and woman are labeled unfairly. People do not look at what on the inside, instead are only concerned with the outside appearance. Society puts alot of pressure on how a person should look and in return that causes people to suffer from eating disorders and ect trying to achieve the look that society pressures us to have.
