The girl is making a point. Granted, we are all presumably much more mature and enlightened than anyone who would think that women are only worth their Barbie status. But we live in a world where there are billions of people who do judge women just like that, and it's a bit disapointing to see proof that such judgement calls exist so close to home. I mean everyone knew this already, but still, who wants to have proof of it shoved in their face?
And yeah, the thread is presumably about "Barbie" looking women, who represent a particular blonde stereotype- but ummmm most of these pictures are being judged for general attractiveness. Combine this with the fact that apparently women who aren't white (brunettes are ok, but no black women?) don't qualify for posting, and it can grate on a woman's nerves a bit. I'm not trying to spoil your fun, and I definitely understand where both the guys and aurora_borealis is coming from.
But come on now, if you're going to try to say that this isn't about eye candy, then stop making blatent attractiveness judgement calls. Otherwise, perhaps a couple of you should consider that, while you may not find particular woman up to par, doesn't really mean that others don't either- personally there were about 25 girls in the previous pics that actually did look like blonde Barbies but weren't "qualifiers", and another 25 who were definitely hot but deemed unacceptable for this Barbie specific thread. So I guess I'm just saying, you should expect a certain amount of flack when what it seems like what you're doing is trying to put a pc label on generally holding a sorority stereotype beauty pageant. I think that's what aurora was saying also. With that being said, I'm going to go drool over eye candy in the fraternity boy A&F thread, where no one is trying to hide that it's all about the hot booty.

ps- Rudey, I don't understand your personal definition of what a Barbie girl is, but I've read all your posts and I'm still trying to figure it out. Do you just pick girls at random from each pic, or is there a common quality to your preferences? Not being rude, I'm honestly curious...
pps- sorry to add to the mini-drama in your thread, I just thought it was shitty to call someone an "annoying feminist" just because she's making a valid point, or say that just because she's greek she shouldn't post on something that should probably be in chit chat anyway.
