* [[Barbie]] took a lot of flak for this for years, especially in one of her 'talking' iterations, where her phrases included things like "Let's go shopping!" and "Math is hard!" A group called Barbie Liberation [http://sniggle.net/barbie.php took matters into their own hands] to rectify that, swapping out Barbie's voice boxes with ones from [[G.I. Joe]], so Barbie instead said things like [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|"Vengeance is mine!"]]. [[Girls Need Role Models]] indeed.

** Barbie eventually grew out of this with her and her friends gaining personalities and mainly focusing on their goals. (Barbie has acting, Teresa has fashion design, Grace has sports, Summer has writing and so on.)
* Likewise, the [[Bratz]] dolls advocated shopping and fashion as a cure for all of life's woes. To say nothing of their actual appearance and, uh, taste in fashion.
