is that although the framing has changed over time - where once Oppenheimer was a nurse, secretary or housewife and now can be a doctor, ceo or engineer - what's stayed the same is that Oppenheimer expresses these identities through conspicuous consumption.

Make no mistake, the real message sent to a child playing with their Oppenheimer toys is one of empowerment, it's just that the means of obtaining said empowerment is always contingent on buying into consumerism, which at its core is an abhorrent message, and to be uncritical of this message simply papered over with a veneer of feminist empowerment is to miss the forest for the trees.
