The mocking of that picture wasn't so much for her crying but the general weirdness/creepiness of it. Like how the rest of the family looks, how they are dressed, and the fact that she's obviously dressed the same way as the doll she's holding.
Ah, ok, I understand. Real men make fun of little girls for their dresses and dolls. Winning argument.
You're goddamn right real men make fun of little girls regarding their dresses and dolls. See, there's this company called American Girl. Really sick stuff... they've built an entire store devoted to pampering their admittedly high class dolls. You buy a doll, then you can buy matching dresses, then you can get your doll's hair styled in the store. Or the doll's nails done. Or other things.
Like I say, sick stuff. Kind of makes my blood boil a bit. Why do I care? Well... My mother is an avid connoisseur of their products. Ditto for my aunt and 10-year-old cousin. Do you think I miss a chance to make fun of any of them for their pampering of a plastic doll? Of course not. The 10-year-old certainly gets her share.
Further, to my dismay, my four-year-old is also a fan of the franchise. Do I give her a pass because of her age? Hell no! She gets the worst comments of the bunch, and every last one of them is thoroughly deserved.
Yes, Phil, real men do make fun of little girls and their dolls. Sorry you had to find out this way.
