Trouble finding the main arguments

http://www.scribd.com/doc/55733073/Barbie-and-Playmates-Don-Richard-Cox

Hi I'm reading the essay "Barbie and her playmates" by Richard Cox. I'm having trouble finding the main arguments/points. Can someone give me some help or hints? Also I need to know if theres is any prejudice. From what I have read, I don't think there is any. Someone help please.

Prejudice in which direction? The author speaks of the doll's 'social importance', her 'tremendous impact on the toy industry', and her 'value structure' — her version of the American Dream. He also mentions that girls have 'dolls' while boys have 'action figures', but I don't think that is a main point.
