[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently my friends cried, but I'm the heartless BEACH who thought the messaging was confusing. [u]Let's replace men with women and marginalize men that will be better![/u] I liked the outfits, history and the fun parts. [/quote]

That wasn't the message. I don't want to give away a spoiler, but think about the talk Barbie had with Ken after the vote.  It wasn't to marginalize men.  And also, it's OK for a fantasy world where women hold more power.  You know, the opposite of 2 CEOs in the entire history of the company.  [/quote]

DP.  If women have more power in the world, such as more CEOs, they will have to give up time raising their children.  They will need a house husband or nanny or both - and few American women want that.  This isn't the patriarchy, it's the choices of women.  [/quote]

Why the assumption that all women want to raise children?  What?  uhhhhhhhh.........[/quote]

DP and I feel like the movie oversimplified feminism.  Isn’t the point to get to choose? Not just be a powerful ceo.  I don’t want to be an executive at a large company.  I want to work and then enjoy my free time.  And I have the choice to do that.  I just didn’t get the nuance in the movie’s message.[/quote]

But the lead human female said that.  You can be a CEO or not.  You can be a mom or not.  That's the point.

I watched something else recently that reminded my of one of my privileges in life.  It made me uncomfortable and sad that others have barriers that make life harder.  It didn't make me feel like I was being attacked.  I think some people who watched this couldn't recognize that they weren't being attacked (not you, PP).  It's hard for people not see those privileges and not feel weird about them when they've benefitted from them.[/quote]
