I remember the last time they tried this was in 87 with the live action version of masters of the universe in which it failed at the box office leading to financial collapse of the canon films group it took Mattel years to try again and this time they succeeded with Barbie in which it is on the way to the one billion dollar club I can predict high Black Friday and Christmas shopping sales for Barbie and an big win for Margot Robbie and possibly a sequel on the horizon.

Ben's take that Ken is supposed to be completely unsympathetic is peak media illiteracy. He's literally symbolic of women in the real world who historically have not had an identity apart from their husbands.

[@eja9539]

Yeah like why does he think the director gave Ken a story arc, funny lines and his own musical scene. They wanted the audience to like Ken and find him goofy but lovable. Ken would have been like Syndrome from the incredible if they really wanted to have him be evil.

[@KiwiKiwi145]

Also in alot of media directed towards men or boys women dont have any role but romantic interests

[@KaiaKooking]

Their own disgust towards men who are allowed to show weakness is showing. They see ken having an emotional arc and think it’s entirely to make fun of him. No, it’s played for laughs a little because it is a satirical movie, but their egos are so fragile that they think any man who isn’t afraid to be ridiculous is a threat to their holy masculinity ideal and surely everyone must hate him because they do.

[@Cfaerify]

The realization that Barbie wants to be a "real human" and not an "idea" was so incredibly powerful to me and I'm sure to a lot of other people as well. It highlights the beauty of imperfection and the power that comes from being "real" rather than an idealized version of ourselves. While Barbie dolls might not be popular anymore, in the age of social media so many young people feel compelled to present themselves as this "perfect idea of a life" and forget to actually live.

[@TamWam_]

[@AttackHelicopter64]

I'm actually having a blast, because Barbie becoming "real human" grew into such a huge meme Cause when I went to the movie with my wife, and like 3 minutes in I've said to her: "I have a feeling it will be a Blade Runner 2049, but with dolls" And it totally was

[@pierregravel-primeau702]

Not very far than Randy wanting to be a dolphin.

[@dormghost]

I love that the old lady at the bus stop said "I know!" when Barbie complemented her. I had expected her to thank her for the compliment, instead she showed that she was already confident in her own self and though I'm sure that the gesture was kindly appreciated, it amplified her instead of just consoling her. Made me think that, we often place our self values based on other peoples perception, which is of course natural, but with enough experiences in life as we age forward, we will realise that being secure and happy is all about accepting that we are enough despite whatever perceptions or judgement others have on us, and those are less important to what we thought of ourselves first. Hope the last bit makes sense lol.

[@auralit8]

​@@dontcensormebro3217 Big questions for a comment section, so will answer in a list form. This is non-exhaustive and brief. 1. Who are you quoting here the "goal" of patriarchy? I would say patriarchy functions just like an organism would: it tries to maintain itself. Oppressing women is incidental but essential to the main goal, which is to preserve male power. 2. Why does Amazon have more power than your local bookstore? Because once power aggregates it maintains itself and spreads. This is why our society is still patriarchal despite advances. 3. A contested, but interesting theory is that patriarchy tends to emerge with the advent of agrarian economies, where men's greater strength and mobility out of the home becomes advantageous. 4. Yes, relatively egalitarian, yet technically matriarchal hunter-gatherer societies do exist, e.g. some Indigenous cultures in Canada. 5. I have more to say about all of the above but it would get suuuper tl;dr then. 6. Patriarchy absolutely is compatible with trans people existing. Gender identities don't need to be immutable for patriarchy to function. You can find instances of trans people reflecting on the difference in respect they get after transitioning, even when they pass. That is, if you are genuinely curious and not just trying to facetiously concoct a "gotcha."

[@leix7]

Also can the "trans Barbie" even be considered trans if none of them have genitals? Unless the implication is that Kens can become Barbies, it's just a Barbie that is played by a trans woman.

He went in there ready to see a 'feminist' and 'a 'woke' movie, fully armed with his conservative gear and his right wing assault rifle. And as a result he failed to enjoy the movie. Didn't see the point of it. And the point of the movie? It's to be pointless and silly and to draw some laughter out of it. Barbie to me is one of those films that you will enjoy the more you watch it and the more it gets old. Give it ten more years it'll be a classic and will have its own cult followings.

I particularly love the ending scene with Barbie at the gynecologist because it is the antithesis of toxic feminism. We’re expecting to be beat over the head with how progressive and accomplished Barbie is because feminism means women can do anything and instead we’re confronted with the very comical fact that in this moment Barbie is completely unexceptional. It harkens back to when she talks about how ordinary she feels because she’s not an astronaut, or politician, or doctor, she’s just a woman. The point is that all women are capable of being exceptional and empowered without being in the top 1% of accomplished women. We’re all important and we all have a place in this world even if we’re not mega CEOs shattering the glass ceiling. When Barbie enters the human world she is not immediately breaking gender stereotypes but instead she is just doing her best at living as a woman like the rest of us do everyday.

Now, feminist groups are more likely to promote organizations that raise money for breast cancer, it's true, though it's not as if though they're doing anything to prevent people from going out and raising awareness for prostate cancer, and that wouldn't explain why cervical cancer, another cancer that primarily affects women, doesn't get funding. The sad irony is that forms of cancer that are highly survivable, like breast cancer, have more people who survive to promote awareness of that cancer, while highly deadly cancers don't leave enough people alive who have experienced it to tell people how terrible it is. That's why funding healthcare with charities (which are dependent on eliciting emotional responses from people) instead of tax dollars doesn't work. You need an objective form of funding that directs money where it's needed, not just to the cancers that people hear about the most.
