Finally watched the movie since it is streaming for free. Practically unwatchable. Was exactly what I was expecting, a feminist rant filled with whining about the “patriarchy“. The “Barbies” lived in a fantasy world where they did everything and the “Ken’s” were completely unnecessary. Is this what the feminist ultimately want in the future? Women are doing it now and reportedly more unhappy than ever.
This movie also fails to accept reality that men have to earn and work for everything. This ominous thing, “the patriarchy“ is a structure to ensure some sort of order. Feminist women fail to recognize all the benefits they receive on a daily basis because of this same structure.
Couple of random quick jabs sprinkled in throughout the movie. One about men not having to deal with raising their kids. ***** please, maybe from your broken home. I’ll most likely die early from working so hard to provide for my family, which includes my stay at home wife. But that must be a patriarchal privilege that I got for free so I can hold them back and have all the glory.
Last line in the movie is considered a ”mic drop“, lol.
“I’m here to see my gynecologist.”
From Variety Magazine - Barbie says with a huge smile, despite not having any genitals (which is joked about earlier in the film). The movie then cuts to black. When I was a teenage girl, I remember growing up and being embarrassed about my body, and just feeling ashamed in a way that I couldn’t even describe. It felt like everything had to be hidden.
Another example of women being solipsistic. Only they have to deal with struggles and men live on “easy mode.” Wrong, both genders have to deal with some similar issues and some specific to that gender. It’s called, growing up. You have a vagina that bleeds every month, that‘s life. Can’t blame the patriarchy for that. We also had to deal with random boners in gym class but you don’t hear men blaming women for that.
Just another click bait movie to push the agenda that men suck and women have it so bad. Hard to imagine this movie was competing with Oppenheimer, which was historical and much more rooted in moral dilemmas we dealt with in the past.

I'm impressed that you tolerated that. Thank you for reporting the details of the movie.
Men have the burden of proof, as Rollo Tomassi and Rich Cooper have said.
Good point!
