The Guy Who Designed Barbie Was a Bit of a Perv (Go Figure)

The guy who designed Barbie for Mattel was a bit of a perv, at least according to author Jerry Oppenheimer, whose book “Toy Monster: The Big, Bad World of Mattel,” is out next month.

The book claims that Jack Ryan, the American, Yale-educated engineer who designed for Mattel, had a socially distasteful sexual appetite that would make the average-American’s jaw drop. Jack is described as a “full-blown seventies-style swinger” with “a manic need for sexual gratification.”

Ryan’s friend, Stephen Gnass, confides to the author: “When Jack talked about creating Barbie . . . it was like listening to somebody talk about a sexual episode, almost like listening to a sexual pervert . . .” Ryan took calls at Mattel from a madam and patronized “high-class call girls to streetwalkers,” including a “very thin and child-like” hooker. The book claims that Ryan “somehow rationalized that he was the only man in her life” until he was diagnosed with gonorrhea.

Are we supposed to be surprised by any of this? An educated, rich white man in power, who really had a thing for women, to the point where he paid them for sex? Shocker! What would Eliot Spitzer say?!

The truth is everyone is some sort of sexual deviant and has secrets about themselves even their most valued loved ones will never know about. Don’t fool yourself into thinking otherwise! That being said, when I was a little girl my dolls would have threesomes all the time. Yeah, I was a perv even when I was younger!
