Response to the Sexy Tech-Girl Obsession


























Look at these dolls, look at the sexualized poses, one with her leg in the air. Look at the scientist doll, with her doe eyes, blank, helpless stare and her sexualized body. I chose to post these pictures from Nat and I's adventure to the mall because it is the production of products like these that contributes to situations such as Jade Raymond's where girls in technology are given credit for their bodies and beauty rather than their technological skills.

The fruits of consumerism are so embedded in our culture and pervasive in girl's lives that the identity they breed becomes the identity girls perform or are expected to perform.
