Is Barbie Anti Men?

[@abigailmarks6469]

If they think Barbie is anti-men then they must admit that the world is anti-women. Barbie world is a satirical flip of the real world.

[@neon17.08]

These people just don't understand when a movie uses this technique to show what its like, its such a useful tool to use and people can be so dumb and completely misunderstand the entire film. I remember short films like what peta use (humans are the victims and not animals) nobody understands it, I think its useful to get a point across only if people understand it. However Peta isn't a good company anyway. Theres also a short film that flips the experiences of gay and straight people, instead gay people are the privileged majority ones and straights are the minority and decriminated against, it was about putting straight people in our shoes, but the comments were still so confused and didn't get the point and some actually thought that the short film showed a good reason to keep decriminating against lgbt people, like no dude that's not what the film was trying to say at all. So many people lack Critical thinking which is such a useful skill to have, its disappointing that they can't see deeper into the message and compare the events in real life. And it really shows how much the far right want to brainwash kids now by removing critical thinking skills from schools (which is really dangerous). "Believe everything I say, never think for yourself"

[@billou97]

I think the problem is more the portrayal of men in the real world, bc they didn’t show any good men at all, all dummy, creeps, misogynistic. Most of the mother’s speech isn’t much applicable to 2023 and most of those « standards » pushed on women were are still are pushed by women. Women assume what men’s want or assume that what men liked in the past is still the same today, when it ain’t the case. In reality the problem isn’t patriarchy per say but SOCIAL PRESSURE pushed on everyone. Patriarchy is still a thing don’t get me wrong, but for what they showed in the movie, it would have been received better if they had used social pressure or peer pressure instead of patriarchy, bc a large group of people assume that patriarchy means Men=bad. (most know it’s not the case, but some do, so to not have that blocage maybe we should adapt our message so they could understand without getting defensive)

Yes! I had to explain to my husband that it wasn't 100% just about "women can do any job" and more about "encouraging women to explore a part of the world that they were barred from for centuries" especially when Barbie first came out. It was to push women out of a force gender norms. That's why babrie still exists (well, is still liked, it exists to make money) there are still areas of the work field that aren't really safe for women and that's todue to 1.the lack of women in these spaces (looking at you tech jobs). 2. These space lack women because girls are told "this work is not for them" And it really bothers me that girls can't even have one Capitalistic voice telling them that women can do these things, in sea of voices that will only tell girls they can't.

@@AdaireKricketsthis is just not true. I don’t know a single woman in real life who has been told she can’t do a certain job. Sometimes, it’s not because of sexism.

@@AdaireKrickets THIS. it was never about 'women can do everything and anything and kens have to suffer' no. barbie came out during the 50s, when many work fields were still male dominated and women in media were often seen as side characters, so Barbie was created for yougn girls to tell them that THEY can also do those same jobs and that THEY can be the main character, and their himbo boyfriend can be the side character. the fact that i need to even justify this tells a lot.

Stereotypical Barbie doesn't like Ken because Gloria's not playing with Barbie to be romantic with Ken.

19:44 Actually, they DID answer this question in the movie, and it isn't a plothole. All the successful and compotent Barbies fell victim to the Kens' brainwashing because they had no natural defenses against it. They were very heavy handed in their explanation of that by comparing it to a real life example (I think the one they used was the Native American population having no natural immunity to disease brought in by Europeans. Could be wrong, but I remember being shocked and happy they included the callout, cause they're right.) The Barbies are stand ins for little girls, I think, who have all this creativity and potential inside them that ends up being squashed when the toxic masculinity of patriarchy is introduced. These little girls have no defense against that. It was only through the Barbies coming together and educating and supporting eachother that they were able to reclaim the power they once had. The message is so very clear when you think about it like this--> how do we beat this terrible patriarchy? How do we prevent these very powerful little girls from being brainwashed into sexist and subservient roles? Women supporting women, that's how. Helping them to acknowledge that yes, the world does treat them unfairly, but that's a problem with the world and not a problem with them.

oh sick! i wrote a whole review on letterboxd about how men and women are represented in barbie which i was super proud of, which none of my friends read in the end lol

[@WhoWhatWhe]

Can I have the link to your review?

[@eliezerdelacruz5340]

To be honest someone did make a good point online that the movie cover the basis of feminism and it does not even go that deep with it. It is more of a humanist film of self-discovery. Especially with Ken and Barbie.

[@helenn6551]

The one thing that always annoys me when it comes to the way conservative media talk about Barbie is how they end up viewing Ken's journey. They always talk about how the Kens being only existing for a Barbies attention as bad, then are annoyed when Ken later gets into the themes of patriarchy in the real world. It's almost as if he's enjoying being respected for the first time and ends up going down a rabbit hole. Shock and awe

[@lmbella99]

I genuinely don’t understand how people are so ignorant to completely miss the points in Barbie. Even if you’re viewing it as “woke feminist propaganda” like do they not see how Ken represents real life women and barbie represents real life men in the barbie world, dominated by barbie, “she is everything” and “he’s just Ken” they think they’re just accessories for their barbies. Also the Mattel CEOs are all male so idk what that girl was getting at when the movie made it a comedic point.

[@Lilzki]

I think the thing is that they all believe it is ok/right for women to be dominated by men. That is why they are having an aneurysm when the movie flips this around. They don’t complain about the real life alpha men nutters and their cult of dominating women.

[@Overseer2579]

I love how Matt Walsh just said Barbie isn’t a smash hit because it’s a good movie, but because of its IP. This, after he literally said right before, that three of the supposed-to-be biggest movies of the summer flopped, i.e. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (which is also based on an iconic IP)

[@roxassora2706]

Also, the live action Scooby-Doo films had adult jokes similar to Barbie.

[@palesgensler3099]

Any one who has ever had someone continue to flirt with them despite the fact that they made it clear that they have no feelings for that person knows how effing annoying it is. So many movies try to make it seem endearing, and like women will just change their mind. And I’m not saying that no woman I’ve ever changed their mind before. but I haven’t and As far as I’m concerned, no woman I know has. So I really appreciate the fact that at the end, instead of having Ken and Barbara get together, they had Ken learn to be on his own.

[@Darknienna08]

I find it hilarious when women are complaining about how men are portrayed in this film when the VAST majority of films have portrayed women exactly like that! If a women is a love interest or side character, they are portrayed as vapid and hopeless without their male counterpart. They literally live to just be looked at by their male character partner. WHICH IS THE JOKE OF THE ENTIRE KEN CHARACTER. I could continue without a giant essay long rant about this but for now I'll just say, if you don't like how men were portrayed in this movie, then you are missing the point of this movie. Also, to add, the "beach off" joke that they hate so much. Obviously these women don't actually watch "men's" action movies because honestly, the fight scenes in those movies are so subtly homoerotic its ridiculous. And again, because they don't realize that THAT is the joke, not just the pun, they miss it completely.

[@katielee7364]

I don't see how it's anti men when I literally had heart eyes for Main Ken the whole time. and he's a favorite character to MANY people. they don't get upset when men are always portrayed as the villain in every action movie ever, BUT the second it's a movie lead by Women it's all of a sudden a problem. (Even though Ken wasn't actually a Villain)

[@ghoulishtoad]

[@fairygodmother139]

Idk what cinemas these guys went to because everyone was laughing both times I went, dudes, women, kids. It was such a great experience seeing it on the day of release

[@nichellecox4846]

I swear the haters missed the mark of the movie. And (or) don't know Barbie lore... Barbie was meant to be EVERYTHING and Ken was a himbo The creator wanted her daughter to aspire to be anything a man can be and to not have sole identity attached to someone else hence why Ken is an accessory. Also if they paid attention it'd tell them that matriarchy and patriarchy aren't the greatest (one should not rule over the other) there should be a balance between the two. Empowering women does not mean hating men!

[@SikrosSpencer]

[@leoc5465]

as a pre op, barely passing trans man the barbie movie was such a unique experience cause like, i experience misogyny daily, i face all of the same issues as women because society sees me as such- i walk with my keys in my hand, i dress so i won’t get looked at bt creepy men. however, as a man, im not apart of the spaces to talk about because i’m not a woman. the movie just let me feel the things i needed to, it gave me a chance to be like “i do face misogyny and it really fucking sucks.”

[@fenrirm.f6930]

That girl who criticises Barbie is a woman. Why is she against feminism? Doesn't she realise that she can make content and share her opinion freely because of feminism? Make it make sense 😭

[@Lilzki]

I know right. I don’t understand it either.

[@TheVletHansen]

not everyone who supports feminism needs to pee their pants about a pretty mediocre and mostly unfunny movie. just deal with it.

[@dianabialaskahansen2972]

Didn't see the movie as anti-men, and I did go watch it with a mixed group, and all enjoyed it a lot. One thing I find quite interesting in all of the negative reviews, is how they completely overlook the rather strong trans coded theme in Stereotypical Barbie. Starting out with Barbie privilege (male privilege), she goes to the real world and instantly feels the loss of that privilege. She starts expressing emotions quite strongly, which is a common thing in trans women in particular, as they had to hide their feelings and emotions due to being socialized as a man. Towards the end, she finally has the option to remain in Barbie Land, but then has a speech with Ruth. That speech in itself literally is how Barbie does not need others to validate her identity, if she is a human, that is what she is, and she becomes a human woman. Lastly she has fully transitioned in the last scene, in which she rushes to a gyneocologist for the affirmation that she is now a woman.

[@elius1548]

This also works super well with the Matrix scene. I’m not gonna explain how The Matrix is a trans allegory, but on the Barbie side of things, you see more of a typical egg response.

[@dianabialaskahansen2972]

@@elius1548 I saw more than one connection to the Matrix than the scene with picking the shoe. The overall theme of the movie was in many ways a pink and comedic version of the Matrix: Barbie is living in one world, but somehow is becoming unsettled. She is offered the truth and ends up going to the new world. Returns to the Matrix again, where there is confrontation. In the end becomes the One, completing the transformation into their true self.

People who say "Its only popular because its Barbie" are so stupid like obviously thats the case? Things based on events or franchises people know tend to do better.

Original ideas - despite how amazing they can be - dont get as much advertising.
