Luckily I have not got to this stage yet with dd1.
However, round someone else's house the other day, the children were watching a Barbie film (12 Dancing Princesses as I remember). It was just so ludicrously sexist - at one stage the "mother" said to the girls "You are no better than a common maid".
Am I over-reacting or should I try to resist the onslaught of negative role models for my dds?
