Summary

"Millions of girls will grow up thinking that this is the right way to act. That they can never be anything 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!" - Lisa Simpson

Malibu Stacy speaks for the first time, and her sexist sound bites inspire Lisa to track down the doll's creator and develop a feminist alternative. Meanwhile, a run-in with TV's Matlock causes Abe to enter the competitive world of fast food if only to avoid ending up a tired, old freak like Andy Griffith.

Our guest: Rebecca Sugar, creator of Cartoon Network series Steven Universe
