Dear Rodger:
When my boyfriend and I are in bed together, he sometimes refers to me as “my Barbie doll.” I love for him to do that because it makes me feel beautiful and sexy—I’ve always had trouble controlling my weight and thinking of myself as attractive. He never uses the term when anyone else is around.
But just yesterday I mentioned his pet name for me to some of the girls I work with, and they said I should be outraged. They said “He’s objectifying you” and that he just thinks of me as his little plaything.
Should I be outraged? Should I tell him to stop using that name? Am I wrong to like this particular pet name?

What you & your boyfriend call each other in private is up to you & him—& no one else. You may, however, want to keep such intimate details of your relationship to yourself.
As for being outraged, I’d save that for the fact that, within a matter of months, the Vice President of the United States may be Gun-Toting Barbie!

When a SO calls a woman by a pet name that causes that woman to feel good about herself, that is definitely a good thing. The SO should keep it up and the woman's friends should keep out of it.
I loved your comment about Gun Toting Barbie! We can't let her become VP! What a disaster to have such an inept woman a heart beat from the presidency!

i agree with the original letter writer's friends - there's something unsettling about a guy calling a girl his barbie doll
