Do y’all remember Computer Engineer Barbie, the world’s worst computer engineer? Starring in the world’s most sexist children’s book? With all the discussion about Barbie, I realized it’s been almost a decade since that controversy blew up and I went viral for this feminist remix. (“Now with less sexism!”) https://caseyfiesler.com/2014/11/18/barbie-remixed-i-really-can-be-a-computer-engineer/
Barbie, Remixed: I (really!) can be a computer engineer.

I am a PhD student in a computing department, so I guess it’s not surprising that my social media feeds have been full of outrage over Barbie’s “computer engineering” skills…

I also should have mentioned that I actually critiqued Barbie so hard that I ended up consulting for Mattel. https://medium.com/csforall-stories/tech-barbies-backstory-how-she-went-from-math-is-hard-to-robotics-engineer-63d22437df5d
