So is referring to a woman as “Barbie” not sexist if she works for Trump, or is it still sexist but it’s ok to be sexist towards women who work for Trump?
Is Barbie inherently sexist? I think here it’s implying that she’s just there to be the good-looking face of corruption. She is being used as a toy. Is calling out the sexism by referring to her as ICE Barbie sexist, or is using her as an ICE Barbie sexist?
Edit: I think the answer can be and is both. I don’t support the use of ad hominem attacks. It just makes your argument easier to dismiss and is completely unnecessary when you have so many easy legitimate arguments to be made against this administration. However, I do think the bigger issue is the administration using her compared to the crass comment.
Yes, it’s an obvious reference to her looks. Lefty internet is not immune to sexism. It’s easy to spot every time MTG or Lauren Bobert make the news. In 2016 sexism in some left spaces wasn’t just allowed, it was enforced.
Gotta admit, when she was governor of one of the Dakotas, I thought she was cute. Pretty sure a lot of the conservatives that voted for her thought the same thing.
Yeah, it is an obvious reference to the fact she was hired for her looks. Is the sexism the comment or the reason she was put in the position she is in?

(I’d ban Daily Beast links if I were in charge.)
I think the whole ‘Barbie’ thing is a reference to how the women in Trump’s orbit all have the same over-manufactured aesthetic.

Is “bimbo” better? It fits…
Whore, Bitch, Slut, Cunt, Battle axe, Harpy, Cumbucket
Calling someone “Barbie” is not sexist at all as long as the person being called it is actually made of plastic, such as in this case.

I just assumed it was a reference to Klaus Barbie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_Barbie?wprov=sfla1
