Is Computer Wiz Barbie Just A Geek's Boy Toy

Amazon reviewers are seizing on “I Can Be A Computer Engineer" from Mattel’s “I Can Be” series. It focuses on Computer Engineer Barbie, created in 2010. Not much of an engineer it seems. She can design a game but is kind of stuck in a 50's "oh…I need big, strong, man" when it comes to coding it. And even rebooting her machine. And she even gives her computer a virus, and then needs help fixing it all up again. Why they let girls to mens work I'll never know.
