With Barbie being the standard for society, many are upset. I believe we’ll be able to achieve feminism, however women of color are going to have to take extra steps towards feminism. For example, “female rage” is a TikTok trend many people participate in to show their struggles as a girl, however, not every girl can relate, and those women tend to be women of color, especially Black women, as if they were to participate in “feminine rage”, they’d be seen as the common “ghetto, aggresive, loud” stereotype.
