It’s a stuffed toy. We all know what it represents but there are many things to be offended by, such as the use of offensive language and treatment which is much more dangerous. A lot of women get offended by stupid stereotypes such as Barbie dolls, me included, but to ban one and not another shows how society as a whole treats the views of women. Women however are expected to ignore it and get over themselves. It’s just a bit of fun don’t you know.
Then to appease certain religious groups dominated by men women are expected to tolerate women covering themselves in public and everything that represents but yet again women are expected to suck it up. Men self-identifying as women are being given rights that override the rights of women born that way but still women are expected to suck it up. I would say sexism is a bigger problem in the modern world than racism or any other ‘ism’.
