It was amongst the most egalitarian movies I’ve ever seen. It showed not just the womens’ perspectives but the mens’ as well, failings included. What a limited perspective
Also, Ken was awesome. They didn’t make him the antagonist
His cowboy patriarchy bit was perfect

Understandable, I didn’t realize I was intruding.
Edit: I promise I wasn’t trying to be cheeky
“A pink acid trip that feels like being slapped by lots of confusingly attractive people” is not that far from my very positive perception of the movie.
No kink shaming please.
It is very camp
The main feminist criticism of the movie is that it showed a conflict between a matriarchal hierarchical society in Barbie land and a patriarchal society in the real world. It never even attempted to broach the possibility of a non hierarchal egalitarian society.
That being said it created an interesting contrast and explored some harmful aspects of the patriarchy and hierarchal thinking in an entertaining way.
The silliness of the sexism in Barbie land did point more aware viewers towards the direction that a matriarchy doesn’t fix the problems inherent in hierarchical systems of dominance.
That was the annoying thing about the movie to me. They had a chance to show off a truly egalitarian society, where everyone really worked together. Instead, it kinda ended the barbieland scenes on a sour note, taking a shot at men. Which I get, but I don’t think that zero sum thinking should be the ending note of the film (excluding the comedy bits at the end of course).
I wanted the director to show off where our society should go, the same way that Bluey can serve as a good cultural reference point for healthy relationships and families.
Neither the movie industry nor the toy industry are allied to woman. In fact, capitalism is what sustains most forms of opression against woman
Dangerous and like being on an acid trip? I wish I was as cool as a lot of these men seem to think I am.
I know, it’s just so flattering. Sadly I’m still waiting for the day someone calls me a feminazi…
“they wont be happy until they are all gay”
yes pls
Yep I’m 100% down with this. Sperm donors will make procreation work, we can do this
Queer people can have offspring with sex sometimes. It depends on various factors, but it’s not impossible.
I haven’t watched it yet and everything I hear about it makes me want to more…
I guess I’ll watch the movie
I just thought the movie was boring
