Did you feel like the Barbie movie was feminist propaganda aimed at little girls?

What on earth is feminist propaganda… I am so confused at this line of thinking because at its core feminism is literally just equality or rather equity of the sexes

I know there are different types of feminism now that are more nuanced and I don’t agree with a lot of them but what about the Barbie movie has anything to do with that? Did anyone even watch it?

Patriarchy was mentioned multiple times and you don't think it's feminist propaganda?

What recent movie in your memory ever used the term patriarchy and have nothing to do with feminism?

a lot girls tend to disagree with you so you should ask them why they thought it was propaganda.

I don’t see the idea of the patriarchy as propaganda but that’s because to me it is an obvious truth. I now see that to others that isn’t the case. Thanks for your reply

But feminists use patriarchy in a negative term just like how socialists use capitalism in a negative term.

I don't believe in feminism so I would never say the way men and women interact is a patriarchal system.

When I see the male species of lions go out and hunt and bring back food for their tribe. I don't say oh that's a patriarchy. I say the biggest stronger sex went out and provided for their young.

The problem with using the term patriarchy it makes it seem like women throughout history could have done what men did even though they have 120% less strength than men. And I would argue that our current society is more feminine then it has ever been and women are complaining that men are too feminine so it doesn't even make sense to say men shouldn't be in charge.

in my opinion patriarchy doesn’t just mean “men” or their capabilities, or just how men and women interact, it is an oppressive system just like white supremacy and the existence of racism (just an example)
so yes the patriarchy is inherently negative. I thought you just don’t believe patriarchal society exists, which is an opinion you’re free to have.

Yeah but these terms are arbitrary. If you move to a Chinese culture, would there be Chinese supremacy? Is there Japanese supremacy in Japan? Why call it white supremacy if white people make up 70% of the population. It's a term to make people who are the minority feel like their victims. But as I said before, if you're a minority in China, you're not automatically a victim.

That’s not what white supremacy means? we clearly have different meanings for words and that is probably the issue here

I didn’t watch it but not rlly, it was rated pg13 which I think it should’ve been rated higher since it has a lot of adult topics. I think it was just aimed at women in general rather than little girls.

I thought the girls played with Barbie so why would it be for women. If they made a GI Joe or Transformers movies that's definitely for kids. Why wouldn't it be the same for girls?

I don’t know. I couldn’t get through it because I got bored.

Good for you, your wife material

[Opinion Owner]

Lol I appreciate that 😁

[chris_987]

Im not sure about the other women cause the movie did make a billions dollars, and my sister is gonna watch it twice

[Anonymous]

Yeh, kind of. I felt gross after watching it.

[chris_987]

Ok your restoring my faith in woman kind.

Girls would be in an uproar if there was a movie teaching men how to disrespect women.

[Anonymous]

FFS, it is just a movie. 🤦‍♀️

[chris_987]

Why do girls think that propaganda aimed at kids is just a movie. Are you guys not capable of thinking logically?
