Why do these girls hate their Barbies?
Researchers at the University of Bath have found that girls routinely torture their Barbies, subjecting them to scalping, decapitation, burning and even microwaving.
The researchers had not intended to focus on Barbie, but they were taken aback by the rejection, hatred and violence she provoked when they asked the children about their feelings for the doll.
Violence and torture against Barbie were repeatedly reported across age, school and gender. No other toy or brand name provoked such a negative response.
You see sissie, I wasn't the only one torturing Barbies...
