Only on FAUX, Mattel's Waxing and Shaving Monster High Doll Sparks Outrage

[DainBramaged]

If you thought Barbie, with her disproportionately big breasts and tiny waist, sent a bad message to young girls, wait until you meet of Mattel’s new Monster High doll.

Clawdeen Wolf comes complete with a thigh-skimming skirt, sky high boots and heavy makeup, and spends her days “waxing, plucking and shaving.”

“My hair is worthy of a shampoo commercial, and that’s just what grows on my legs. Plucking and shaving is definitely a full-time job but that’s a small price to pay for being scarily fabulous,” reads the character description of the teen werewolf doll, who also lists her favorite hobby as “flirting with boys.”

But the most frightful thing about Clawdeen, experts say, is the shocking impact she could have on girls aged 6 and up -- the very demographic Mattel is targeting.

“These dolls are training girls to feel ashamed of their bodies, to focus on being sexually appealing and sexually attractive from a pre-pubescent age," human behavior and body image expert Patrick Wanis PhD www.patrickwanis.com told FOX411’s Pop Tarts. "By sexualizing these young girls, corporations also create another avenue to market and sell more products to a younger demographic. These dolls also promote skimpiness of clothing, encouraging a young girl to dress like a stripper and believe that they must be sexually enticing to everyone around them.”

1. How about a Mattel Billy beer gut doll

You pour beer down it's little throat and the belly grows, yellow nicotine stains appear on it's fingers and the pants are cut to show a decent plumber's crack as it bloats.

2. The same Fox who only puts blonde bimbos with big boomers on the air?

Them?

[DainBramaged]

6. That was the point, yes them

[DCKit]

3. Clearly either homophobic or anti-hippy.

Faux should LURVE this doll.

9. You mean... 'hippie'

As someone from the hippieville of Eugene, Oregon, that is one mis-spelling that makes me wince. As does seeing women who waste their time plucking and shaving.

4. RepubliCorp Family Pharisee Values. As usual

Ptoooey on greed driven Republicon corporate 'values'

[ieoeja]

5. Yes, I can see where this could be very damaging to a girl ... if she is a werewolf. (nt)

[undeterred]

7. Geez, does she menstruate too?

[MilesColtrane]

8. Personally, I prefer my wolf/human hybrids all natural regardless of gender.

10. She also comes with fangs and wolflike ears.

Talk about setting unreasonable standards for young women! It's a good thing that she also doesn't have a tail.

11. Some people need to get a hobby besides being perpetually outraged.

Like self immolation.

12. They said the same shit about Bratz dolls

And Barbie, and every other doll that had red lips.

Maybe they should bring out the "Melon Patch dolls" they had in Rodney Dangerfield's "Back to School"--certainly morbidly obese Cabbage Patch dolls wouldn't "train girls to feel ashamed of their bodies, to focus on being sexually appealing and sexually attractive from a pre-pubescent age."

13. "FOX411’s Pop Tarts" WTF?

They call their entertainment reporters "Pop tarts" and they're concerned about Mattel "sexualizing" a werewolf doll? Pots and kettles all over the fucking place.
