"Most girls up through adult women become frightened and confused,
often hysterical when presented with a traditional command prompt,"
Cesterino explained, "therefore the console program available through
the B-Menu in BarbieOS features pink text on a flowered background
so as to not intimidate or threaten females, and all windows are
circular instead of the usual square, since most females unconsciously
associate a circular shape with inclusiveness and the womb."
