Crywank - An academics lament on barbie

Like a f^Emlip flop feminists relationship with Barbie H^Cmaj7ardly the unsung perfectionist, perhaps white supremacist O^Emr Is this over-analysis of plastic? A f^Cmaj7anatic franticly forge five thousand words On the r^Emelevance and development of marketing to girls And the h^Cmaj7arshness of the world, against all odds she worked ^Em130 jobs But still thrilled mostly by the presence of h^Cmaj7eartthrobs Unaffected by patriarchy or rec^Emessions, but soon it must be questioned Does the doll face only re^Cmaj7present what first is projected Grammar and spellcheck, h^Emalf these points make no sense The deadlines days away and their conc^Cmaj7lusions a conflicted mess So ^Emhow did molded plastic become so problematic Where negi re^Cmaj7adings are dramatic but posis over-romantic And maybe B^Emarbie would rather be a gnarly dirty harpy Tattoos d^Cmaj7rawn on with sharpie, kissing girls at a party A f^Emigure once seen as pristine whilst preserved in a box ^Cmaj7Most barbies end up naked and limbless with their hair shaved off P^Emerhaps it should be mentioned that Barbie would be sectioned H^Cmaj7aving weigh-ins everyday for what others call perf^Emection You can say she's just a doll so what does their size really ^Cmaj7mean 6^Cm0s slumber party Barbie still read books saying don't eat Pe^Emrhaps an ever-changing icon reflecting female progress P^Cmaj7erhaps a shallow feminism focused on individual suc^Emcess

And n^Emow we a^Cmaj7re over the word count Got to edit down what's wr^Emitten with no conclusion fou^Cmaj7nd out Tangled and confused and now sc^Emared of being misread Wishing they'd done ^Cmaj7GI Joe male violence and cons^Emcription instead E^Cmaj7xhausting appr^Emoaches Barbies subtext s^Cmaj7eems absent A one dimensional character with endless mu^Emltifacets Time is nearl^Cmaj7y up they must be p^Emragmatic Conc^Cmaj7lusion: the m^Emost human thing about Bar^Cmaj7bie is the fact she's problematic

Af^Emter quick and heavy e^Cmaj7diting Se^Emlf-flagellation for a c^Cmaj7op-out ending I^Emn time they hand their e^Cmaj7ssay in T^Emhey forgot their ref^Cmaj7erencing

You h^Emave failed your d^Cmaj7egree £^Em27,000 down the d^Cmaj7rain A^Emsk yourself, "Was it w^Cmaj7orth it? W^Emhat did you learn about B^Cmaj7arbie?" ^Em
