Barbie’s arms and legs will be flying around MacKay Auditorium during a presentation by The Rock, an inter-denominational religious organization. The group is sponsoring “Barbie Meltdown — Discovering True Femininity” at 7:30 tonight in MacKay Auditorium. The event focuses on dispelling “Barbie” myths regarding subjects such as femininity, dating and friendship.”We always felt like we had to take on the ‘man’ way of being,” said Dana Cramer, ISU alumna in architecture.Cramer and other women will be speaking about being a woman in today’s society from a Biblical perspective.”Through reading the Bible, I saw how beautiful being a woman really is and how excited I am to be one,” she said.Cramer will be speaking on the subject of marriage in a biblical perspective. “I guess the main thing that I want to dispel is that your wedding day is not the biggest day of your life,” she said. “The biggest day of your life is the day you take Jesus into your heart and welcome him as your savior.”Rachel Nixon, an ISU alumnus and event organizer, said the use of the popular children’s Barbie doll toy is meant to symbolize society’s standards of femininity — not to attack Mattel, the toy company selling Barbie. For Nixon, one goal of the night is to convey how God can use female friendships to positively influence the lives of individual women and society as a whole. Any woman attending the event will be affected in some way, regardless of what is presently happening in her life, Nixon said.”I’m sure every person will walk away with something different … something new and good that will apply directly to their lives,” she said.Nixon said she learned the importance of friendships among women from personal experience after her best friend had betrayed her trust. Returning to church during college helped her forgive her friend after she saw Christ’s example.”I started going to church and meeting people who had a relationship with God,” she said, “and I realized that he wanted to have a relationship with me, too.” About a year and a half into her relationship with God, Nixon said she realized not all women were out to get her. “God made me realize that I needed to have strong relationships with women,” he said. “I really think that persevering in relationships with women has a lot to offer [to all women].” Wendy Rehm, another “Barbie” speaker, said she wants women to understand that God cares about every area of a woman’s life, including dating. During her presentation on dating, Rehm said she hopes to explain to the audience, “how to practically apply your faith, as a single woman, to a dating situation.”Rehm said God has taught her she is whole person with or without a man in her life. “A lot of times women think they need a man to be a whole person, or that there is something wrong with them if they don’t have a man,” she said. “I can be fulfilled as a single woman.”Z
