Grooming Barbie and Ken

The left plays with our children as if they were plastic dolls.

There has always been something off about the left’s obsession with molding children into their vision of the future. It isn’t that we all don’t want to steer the next generation into adulthood, because we do. It is or jobs as parents and adults to teach, train and prepare our kids for the future.

But the left’s obsessions seem to be focused on altering the natural state of humanity through fantasy and magic rather than facts and truth. Their goals seem to be less growth of the mind and more a corruption or perversion of human psychology.

I have concluded the left simply never outgrew playing with GI Joe, Ken and Barbie.

Unable to deal with reality, at some point, they gave up trying and gave in to some sort of perverted case of arrested development. As they reached adulthood, they just removed the fantasy template from playing with plastic dolls on the den floor and placed it firmly over real children and young adults - and just continued their play.

I believe this is how they see our children, as dolls/action figures free for them to pose and manipulate while attempting to exert complete control over the outcome of the scenario.

And the dolls did, the children have become the objects of their twisted fantasies and role playing.

The Ken doll is famously missing his man bits, and appropriately so. Barbie somewhat less, having her breasts prominently displayed, but the lady bits under the hood are missing. With GI Joe (even though Joe was never anatomically correct either), there never was a question about his testosterone levels. With his fancy, pastel costumes, Ken always appeared to be a more feminine presentation of maleness.

Barbie, on the other hand, has transitioned over time from bimbo status to a more masculine (i.e., “empowered”) representation of the female as the “women can do anything a man can do” perspective took hold.

Both the Ken and Barbie dolls were marketed to little girls, GI Joe to little boys. Where GI Joe was clearly a masculine representation, Ken and Barbie represent androgynous beings, neither truly neither male nor female – in the Barbie world, gender could be swapped by changing outfits.

Child’s play is often a precursor to learning the basics of becoming an adult. During this period, our parents, family and teachers begin to seed (and correct) the behaviors needed for adulthood.                   

But our kids aren't dolls. They are our children. Manipulating them has consequences.

There is a term for what they are doing, it is called “grooming”.

RAINN, the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, is the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization. The define “grooming” this way:

“…manipulative behaviors that the abuser uses to gain access to a potential victim, coerce them to agree to the abuse, and reduce the risk of being caught. While these tactics are used most often against younger kids, teens and vulnerable adults are also at risk.”

RAINN also notes the pattern grooming typically take:

• Victim selection: Abusers often observe possible victims and select them based on ease of access to them or their perceived vulnerability.

• Gaining access and isolating the victim: Abusers will attempt to physically or emotionally separate a victim from those protecting them and often seek out positions in which they have contact with minors.

• Trust development and keeping secrets: Abusers attempt to gain trust of a potential victim through gifts, attention, sharing “secrets” and other means to make them feel that they have a caring relationship and to train them to keep the relationship secret.

• Desensitization to touch and discussion of sexual topics: Abusers will often start to touch a victim in ways that appear harmless, such as hugging, wrestling and tickling, and later escalate to increasingly more sexual contact, such as massages or showering together. Abusers may also show the victim pornography or discuss sexual topics with them, to introduce the idea of sexual contact.

• Attempt by abusers to make their behavior seem natural, to avoid raising suspicions. For teens, who may be closer in age to the abuser, it can be particularly hard to recognize tactics used in grooming. Be alert for signs that your teen has a relationship with an adult that includes secrecy, undue influence or control, or pushes personal boundaries.

Just compare this to what woke teachers are doing when they try to teach CRT behind the backs of parents and how these steps dovetail with how the opposition to Florida’s parental rights bill has reacted, claiming they should be allowed to talk to kids as young as kindergarten about things like homosexual relationships, sex and transgenderism.

They are still playing with Ken and Barbie, except now, instead of dolls made of plastic, they are playing with children made of flesh and bone.

As you can see by the definition of “grooming” this amounts to child sexual abuse.
