I love PWHL Barbies and I think the overall effect is positive for getting girls excited about the sport, but a color blind approach makes it seem like racism and systemic inequality isn’t present in the game. Maybe the PWHL Barbie campaign can be paired with more education on women’s hockey history

Yes!!! I agree… glad that we have words to put to it now! Also… the ice time wasn’t earned 🤣 why do women have to earn ice time that is freely given to men!🤬

OMG hi Roy from Instagram

Yeah actually you’re right, it’s not about resiliency, it’s kinda pretending that there’s nothing to even be resilient against. Like, if you work hard enough and dream big enough you can do it

You can guess where I’m going with the Barbie thing but the slogan “you can be anything” def applies more to white Barbies than black Barbies and celebrates Sarah nurse as a resilient subject. This “color blind” approach weirdly applies to how they were labeled blonde / brunette 🤣 (not white/black)

This has even been brought up with how the PWHL doesn’t talk about PHF. But yeah education and history matters

365HockeyGirl | PWHL @avapwhl.bsky.social · 7d

I was using the PWHL Barbies as a smaller / more obvious case study but yeah the league also upholds it 🤔 but probably the most obvious way to steer the ship is changing how we talk about the history of women’s hockey (telling a complete history and frankly discussing race and racism).

are we woke enough to talk about the PWHL Barbies as a neoliberal vehicle for upholding institutionalized racism?

Seattle finds their game at the right time. As always, the question is whether they can maintain it.

Game 3 is Thursday in Las Vegas.
