A picture book, “Barbie: I Can Be a Computer Engineer,” has recently come under fire after a blog post about its poor handling of the subject of women and girls in technology. The book features Barbie creating a game on her laptop, but goes downhill when she realizes, “I’ll need Steven’s and Brian’s help to turn it into a real game!”

It’s just that it completely misses the point about how Barbie can become a computer engineer. It would have been fine if she didn’t know how to code, so long as she spent the book learning the skill and not just letting a couple of guys do it for her. What we end up with is a hot mess of gender stereotypes perpetuated for the unfortunate girls who read the book.
