Lisa Simpson is a feminist icon and her quote about the talking Mailbu Stacy doll is a great example of why. This little memorable excerpt is from The Simpsons: Season 5, Episode 14, “Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy”. Times are finally changing, but if feels like it’s still relevant today:

Here is the full Lisa Simpson quote:

Lisa Simpson: A hush falls over the general assembly as Stacy approaches the podium to deliver what will no doubt be a stirring and memorable address.

Malibu Stacy: I wish they taught shopping in school! Let’s bake some cookies for the boys!

Lisa Simpson: Come on, Stacy. I’ve waited my whole life to hear you speak. Don’t you have anything relevant to say?

Malibu Stacy: Don’t ask me, I’m just a girl.

Bart Simpson: Right on! Say it, sister.

Lisa Simpson: It’s not funny, Bart. Millions of girls will grow up thinking that this is the right way to act….that they can never be more than vacuous ninnies whose only goal is to look pretty, land a rich husband, and spend all day on the phone with their equally vacuous friends talking about how damn terrific it is to look pretty and have a rich husband!

Bart Simpson: Just what I was going to say.
