Late with my comments I know.... Loved this. I had the honor of hearing it in read and critique, with your voice reading it. Fantastic writing as always!
My daughter born the same year would spend hours dressing her Barbies in different outfits (she is now in fashion design) while her older brother would disrobe every single Barbie. Is this the yin vs Yang? The anima vs animus? Hahaha…
I think it must be. I know what my son did to Barbie, and I have now heard what other brothers did to Barbie. It must be weird to think that a person is entirely irrelevant to the world of another person, and maybe that is the male ambivalence. But all the photos I see online, there's a lot of Kens out there having a good time at the Barbie movie!
