Guardian (UK) Article on Dolls

A long read, but an interesting and fairly well balanced article in The Guardian today. TDF is referenced a few times.

It mainly talks about the psychology involved in doll ownership, and while it mainly about single male owners, it does mention the fact that couples and women owners do exist.

Thank you for sharing. I gave it a read and it was a nice insight.

Agreed, it was refreshingly fair and accurate.

I don't think an article about dolls that brings up #MeToo and Eliot Rodger is particularly "fair", but each to their own interpretation I suppose.

Oh, I don't know... they could have wheeled in a certain doll hater from DeMontfort University (who I shall not name

) to balance the article, that would have been faaaar worse

Quote: RealDoll’s very emphasis on customization belies the concept of a singular, universally agreed-upon ideal.
Probably something that the LHP purists could take note of

Have to be honest, it is refreshing to read an article about men that isn't overladden with stereotypes and not overly negative. Articles like this will help with "Doll-Acceptance", especially given where this one is published, the Guardian is quite respected in the circles of people that otherwise would not be on board with female dolls.
