OK, so you’ve seen the awful Barbie book, and you’ve seen the improved versions made by people who just want life to be good, but all this time, you’ve been wondering, “How can I get in on the action?” Well, now there’s a website that lets you make Barbie into just the kind of badass computer hacking feminist you always wanted her to be.
Sure, you could’ve found pages from the book yourself and redone the text in Photoshop or paint or whatever, but the Feminist Hacker Barbie site is just so much more fun! Simply pick a page and fix it with a text box to turn this:

Or this:
Into this:
Or, you know, whatever else you can come up with. The site was created by a real life feminist computer engineer, because who needs boys to fix things? It’ll generate a link for you to share your creation with the world, so have fun in the comments below, on Twitter, or wherever you think people could use some positive female role models. So, you know: everywhere. Have fun!
