[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]

[b]DP and I feel like the movie oversimplified feminism.  Isn’t the point to get to choose? Not just be a powerful ceo[/b].  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]

This is the toned down message of feminism, but we all know that feminism celebrates some choices and derides others.  [/quote]
