Agreed that few things like pillow fighting are not at all misogynistic, but the title of the book should've been "Barbie The Game Designer" or similar. Saying that Barbie is a computer engineer and then having stuff like "Steven and Brian will do the coding" is nonsensical. Its like saying Barbie is an actress but Ron and Bob will play her character on stage. Make sense?
Also, at the end Barbie doesn't credit the guys for fixing the issue, and take all the credit in front of her sister.
While not all of it is against women, most of it is nonsensical, immoral and just something I wouldn't want to read to my girls if and when I have them.
Oh of course, the story is pretty lame, poorly thought out, and in general what you'd expect from a merchandising book mill on a budget. I'd be against buying it for my daughter on that principle alone.
