This is a pure example of making something out of NOTHING. Barbie has always been a doll for girls, a way for children to get a sense of glamor in the most unachievable standards, and that’s the point. Dolls are to make children dream and think beyond their reality. Simple as that. Doesn’t need to be political. It’s up to the parents to guide the child where to go from there
ill bet you a hundred made up printed monies that they'll point out white ken has no crotch..no wonder the chinese want to colonize or destroy the world ...
exactly, just like supercar posters for boys. I had a Lamborghini Diablo and a Dodge Viper on my bedroom wall as a kid. I doubt I'll ever be able to afford either one of them, but it's perfectly normal to have inspirations and dreams like that, especially as a kid. After all, you need something to aim for as a kid even if you'll never get there. Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll land amongst the stars.
There is a lady in tassie who upcycles brats dolls to look like normal children. A bit of paint & repair and they no longer have the overtook glam we see so much of these days
Shut up. I'm thinking right now. 🤔 How dare you interrupt my way of thinking of superficial society these days. Imma go to Messico and get my BBL and some fat sucked out to feed the kids that are local there that are starving Marvin. * knick knock nick nock. *
@porter9494 Lmao the shaming language right on cue....pure dribble that you've been fed by the internet and regurgitate on demand without any facts or original thoughts of your own. Women have had more rights than men for years but are addicted to the victim mentality sugar hit. The irony of 3rd wave feminism that teaches girls like you (or you're a simp soyboy) to hate men is that modern women are far more depressed than their grandmothers. ever where. Enjoy your cats and box wine lady/ladyboy 🤣
I grew up playing with Barbies, never once did I think I was meant to look like Barbie. I didn’t think babies looked like Baby Born, or horses looked like My Little Pony. Kids aren’t as stupid as we make them out to be.
Me too and I hate how everything became so political and the whole agenda of the LGBTQRSTUV I feel for the kids today and how much of a target they have become
It's a bit like saying that every child that played with a transformer tried to sneak into their dad's garage and weld metal pieces to themselves so they could be one for real. These demented pea-doughs think children have no agency as you say are some kind of thicko spazs
I still fail to see how Ken's depiction is an insult to all men? :I Literally, the happy end is that Barbie acknowledges the damage she has done to Ken by dismissing his feelings, acknowledging them and him finally trying to find himself as an own person, not just as an addition to Barbie.
I played with dark haired Barbie to do her hair, I didn’t become a hairdresser. My grandma knitted her clothes, I didn’t go into fashion. She had nothing at all to do with what shaped me. I loved having her.
Legit, I hardly played with dolls, I was a total tomboy, but I loved swimming as a kid so my mum got me the Olympic swimmer Barbie, which I loved; It didn't make me 'not a tomboy' after than, and I'm lucky if I get to go swimming once a year now, let alone become an Olympic swimming champion
Dolls were never meant to reflect reality. They basically served as imaginary companions and then discarded. Most of the Barbie dolls I've owned and have seen, wound up dirty, naked, and with tangled hair when we were done playing with them.
Sorry but all the girls born in the 80’s myself included never felt pressured to be like barbie. It’s ridiculous!! We played house with ken and skipper, had their cars, clothes, house. WHY is everything a tragedy today? It seems like everyone born before 2000’s according to woke people is psychologically damaged by EVERYTHING. So disappointed Piers!!
I just found it weird that there were holes in her feet 😂😂😂😂 it’s not like pregnant women expect their brand new baby to be like baby born or baby all gone lol
i was born in 2000 and i loved playing with barbie’s. i still remember my dad coming home with a giant barbie doll house when i was 3. there was never a thought to be like barbie or try to look like her. it was a toy and it was fun to play with! that was it
Listen, I am a woman and I relate to Ken so so much. I don't have my own house, been friendzoned, and don't have a job. But I know I am Kenough. We are all Kenough people!
@@DB742 It was always "(insert title here)" Barbie and KEN. There were titled Ken dolls but not really advertised. It was always more focused on Barbie. Ken was the sidekick. I'm usually against what people are complaining about but this is typical Barbie. If it the new feminism movement wasn't so stupid, common and political no one would question this movie.
I think your missing the point, the movie is called Barbie. Maybe if you played with Barbie's you'd get it, but you didn't. I did & Ken was always just Ken, Barbie's BF. I mean we're talking about toys played with by kids, it's not that deep.
right! I remember thinking it was too weird that they came out with other ken dolls because that created complications that my Barbie did not need. She already had the hot pink convertible and the 2 storey home with a balcony. 1 Ken made everything easier lol
And Indiana Jones is called Indiana Jones - yet an empowered super awesome female co star is added there. If all these male starring movies and shows that sold toys needed to change to cater to women then barbie needs a total ovverhaul as well.
It's not anti-men when audiences felt for the male. People loved Ken's role and are talking positively about him more than ever. It's called the Barbie movie, but Ken stole the show. Ken's now the one taking over pop-culture and memes. The real message of the movie was about equality and all these stupid societal expectations we ALL feel pressured by at one point or another. We've all felt like we have to be perfect or we're not good enough. Good enough for who or for what? We don't really know, but we still feel it at times. That's why "I am Kenough" is trending. We've all been Ken. TL;DR: For a movie that's supposedly anti-male, how tf is THE MALE of the movie the one trending in a good way? Ken has finally risen to pop-culture icon status thanks to the Barbie movie. This isn't what anti-male looks like.
Brilliant comment. I'm one ofnthose who felt sorry for Ken. He had his feeling player all the time. And to be honest, women in adolescentes and youth ages can be Barbies, I mean, treat a guy like the 'for ever friend', make the poor dude their Ken. Just when adulthood nikcs the door, is when we realise that treat guys as Ken is perhaps not fair.
This movie was not aimed towards equality, it aims for a matriarchal society where women are in the position men once had. Instead of a goal of equality between men and women, Barbie pushes towards a world ran by women
I want to go back to the days when things were spectacularly simple. We didnt have to think and over think every toy, action, word, phrase and gender. Science was simple. People were not micro sensitive. There were hardships and we just got on with it.
its not hard to just not be a jerk lol. you don't have to think about toys, actions, words, phrases and genders, you obviously care about these things if you're thinking about them. why do you have to think about someones sexuality or gender, its not effecting you so it shouldn't be hard to just not say something out of pocket... unless you care oncourse.
All barbie was to me and my sister was a girl that we could dress up and make clothes for. We sowed clothes all the time for our barbies.we made earnings out of pins and Jewelry out of beads. We had lots of fun. Mostly though, making them clothes was our favorite thing.
I am 55 and still have my first ever barbie!! My mom gave it to me for Christmas and is so meaningful for me of all the lovely moments of fun from my childhood (my daughters also keep theirs! lol)
I must chime in, I have worked for many year With Bricklayers...... I am a woman and spent some time as a helper. I mixed mud, hauled rocks, shoveled sand, installed scaffolding and supports for stonework, packed stones up several levels of scaffolding.... BUT I was absolutely NOT strong enough to be a bricklayer. That is a man's job, generally because of the upper body strength and core strength requirements to fulfill the duties, but also because of the shear stamina that is required! You gotta be tough to rock out with the big boys! I have had many jobs in several male dominated fields. Woman ARE NOT THE SAME. We need to start giving men some credit for their strength and fortitude.
Respects. As another comment fairly stated, Ken is an accessory to Barbie 😂. She's a toy for a little girls fantastic imagination. You're a woman and you are kicking butt in the real world. I hope you have a great Fourth of July 🎉🎉. You rock✔️
The movie was insulting. It's funny, when men paint women in a "dumb caricature", we cancel them, make videos about them calling them pigs, have rallies and marches. But when it's the other way around it's just "arguing over a stupid doll". Funny how that works.
As a person who played with Barbies when I was real young- Ken has ALWAYS been a "fill in the blanks" kind of male. The center of Barbie's world are the people who play with the dolls. I had my Ken as a rough and rugged farmer- *or building houses, a vet- out working in the fields while Barbie fixed dinner. Ken was the lifeguard next to the pool (blue felt square) that saves Barbie and visa versa. Because Ken was left mostly to the child's imagination with a few outfits to play in Barbie's world. Often though, with many little girls... Ken was on the sidelines, waiting to be brought into play. -- and the movie reflects this. A movie that was made to be a spoof so they are making fun of the fact-- Ken was just a blank slate.
I was thinking the same and I wouldn't have been able to say it better. This movie is reflection of how girls would play with Barbie, it has nothing to do with politics.
Yeah, like it's not weird. Ken is just like her jeep or her dog or her friends. It's Barbie's world, and it's about Barbie, not Ken. If this is upsetting to a man, then he knows how women feel in the human world.
@@eroccha Regarding the old Barbie ads, don't remember any "men are simple or dumb in this fictional world, but sexist or dominating in the real one" kinda msgs.
Every time I hear this ridiculous C word I announce to the speaker the fact that I am offended by it. They often get a stupid look on their face when they have to hear me out or be completely hypocritical.

This broad believes that there is a gender pay gap and that Climate change is a threat to the planet. She is the modern schizophrenic. I take joy in knowing that she will live and die unhappy.
Equal opportunities do not lead to equal outcomes. Men and women are psychologically and biologically different and there's nothing you can do about them no matter how much you try to defeat gender stereotypes, the patriarchy, etc. Therefore if you give them the same opportunities then the outcomes will not be the same.
"if you give them the same opportunities" In some cases they don't have the same opportunities. If women make it through their studies without encountering a male professor who has a diminished view of women, she will likely encounter men at some point in her career who do, and those men might be her superiors, the ones who decide whether or not she advances, or gets a raise, or gets a bonus.
idk if this is relevant but very few matriarchal tribes exist where women are in charge of taking care of there children and very cultured people who represent there traditional femininity. Feminist obviously would not want that 🤣
There are men and women and trans identifying men, trans identifying women. There is no "cis" you (ideologues), don't get to label those of us who refuse to participate in delusion.
I always thought Barbie was good for girls because it told them that even if your pretty and care about your looks you can still be whatever you want. I thought it was a good contrast to all the movies and TV shows where the pretty girl was dumb and vain while the "ugly" ones were the smart ones. Also, since it was a toy marketed towards girls Ken never really had a job that I'm aware of and I thought it was hilarious that they actually took that and poked fun that the man was the trophy instead of the woman.
*Even on this panel the Black man is totally left out by design! Barbie is as racist as she has ever been and she remains the icon of white supremacy! Any Black woman who buys white dolls for her daughter is a self-loathing FOOL!
I still see no problem. Like it's not suppose to be about ken for the most part but he is important cus barbie and ken are high school sweethearts and some sets they were married
They've been attacking Barbie for 30+ years. In response, they came out with Monster High and, what my son calls, other prosti-tot dolls. Over sexualized, highly painted pre-teen dolls that look like they're ready for the street corner. Those make Barbie and Skipper look like Sandra Dee, but nobody is talking about them.

Imagine if they did the opposite on Lois in Superman. Showing the Man of Steel being epic, then cutting to Lois and it saying "oh and Lois is there too." The Far Left Lunatics would be creaming their pants to get the film cancelled. Even though the two are basically the same. Ken and Lois are just the love interest. Both are stupid, Lois cant even spell words properly, saying retarded shit like "Hey Smallville, how many O's are in lunatic?" And Clark answers none, for her to go "And thats why I'm front page, its two." She cant spell. Both drive flash cars, wear provocative outfits. (Ken in speedo's and Lois in micro skirts or sexy costume as disguises) So people in other comments saying "Ken is just an accessory like a handbag." Well so is Lois, she is just a thing, not a person either. Cant have it both way people.
Its the fact that movie producers are using barbie to further their gender identity politics.. barbie is just the vehicle for the message. Do you get it?
As a child I didn’t think about what my Barbie was doing,or what she could be. I just played with toys, went outside and ran and jumped rope .These people are putting to much emphasis on inanimate objects creating “dreams of what they could be” instead of fostering imagination.it’s ridiculous. I’m sick of everything being politicized.I think it’s the job of parents to instill confidence in what their children want to be not a toy.I can guarantee you that many little girls had their Barbie’s just pretending they had their own homes, children and homes, where ken was the husband too.
You are right. Barbie doll don't hurt girl's mind, as long girls don't watch sick neurotic TV debates about Barbie thematic as this one. If they want to self sabotage Barbie sales, they just need to say Barbie is female trans and Ken is a male trans.
I’m sick to death of this crap. Over the years barbie has been used as a ridiculous beacon of feminists.. and that’s for the adults NOT THE KIDS because kids don’t care.. It’s a TOY.. and I wish people would STOP PUSHING AGENDAS ONTO KIDS.. ALL AGENDAS and just let kids be kids..
Well every cartoon every film in disney and every advertisement are right now ridiculing and mocking boys /'men so somebody is trying to push some narrative so off course people will react
This is all because the adults want to take control and shape their childrens' minds through their toys, regardless of how the child sees it. In fact, the adults probably appear childish to the child who doesn't understand what all the fuss is about

@kylemylo3776 you're a weirdo it's a fuckin Barbie movie the only men who should be heavily invested in the roles are gay men 😂🤦🏽♂️go whine about something else
Played with Barbies growing up in South America. Ken was always tossed to the side bc well, he wasn’t interesting so no one wanted to play with him. We wanted to dress up our Barbies in colorful outfits, brush her beautiful hair, drive her car, shop for her closet and home. SHE was the star of playtime, not Ken. Had nothing to do with thinking women are superior or hating on men. So let’s stop further dividing humanity by jumping on Barbie’s case 🙄
As a boy in ancient times, I loved pretending and playing like I was Roy Rogers, Tom mix, Mickey mantle, Willie mays, GI Joe but I never became a professional ball player, cowboy or brave war hero. I became a supply sgt in military reserves and later, a psychologist but I fondly recall those memories, playing with neighborhood friends, sibs, and yelling, “Reach for the sky, I have you covered!” As a great granddad, it is sorta sad to see most of the kids in solitary mode, walking/sitting with earplugs and focused on iPhones/pads. We built forts, explored woods, played ball until dark when moms/dads called us home. Imagine, in our poor neighborhood, there were about 20 + kids playing games and doing things without supervision...and we rarely got trouble. You know 90% or more of those kids went to houses of worship on Sundays....I wonder if that helped, too! Forgive an old guy’s rambling...could not help it.
I love knowing that I share the same fun memories of Barbies that you have and you grew up on a different continent and yet your description is just how I remember playing with them! 💕💕💕💕💕🌟
@@fcv4616 funny. The one's that began this whole cancel culture trend and woke identity politics are peolle from the political left when the rest of us simply want to watch a sports game. You funny my dude.
Barbie movie taught many things. First it told that stereotypes whether of man and woman are problematic. Secondly our purpose is more than to be a wife or a ceo.
4:30 She just told 2 lies women do not get less pay, we had the whole soccer fiasco and it proved that women were getting paid the same even though they made less money for the teams, we also know there are no sewage female technicians or other very difficult jobs that men are the only ones that apply, because apparently it's too difficult or traumatizing for women to do. So I wouldn't call women being on the front line of the hardest jobs true either. This woman needs to get a real job so she can see what the real world. Maybe she needs to binge dirty Jobs and see all the men doing the jobs and the women not in most? When you need a quota of people with check boxes next to them then your talking about sexism and or racism. Simple as that, no butts.
@@musicloverchicago437 I dunno where you're from, but in Australia, it's been illegal since 1972, so any woman with a gripe, can lodge a complaint.....funny, that the only complaints seem to be on mainstream news sources and social media, never in the courts..........!
How about they come out with a Barbie movie where she is happily married to Ken. He happens to not just provide, but also offers support and happines. This Ken would be cast as a real man and not a 15 year old Abercrombie model. I dont think Hollywood is interested in making a movie like that.
I've been a bricklayer (10 years) and a care worker (5 years). Bricklaying was harder, hands down. In care, many people can literally loaf through the job and it's frustrating. You can't loaf through bricklaying, I've seen people be instantly chewed out and they fall off the face of the earth.
@jennykononenko2527 no, they don't. Because to think that would be stupid. For this one person, bricklaying was harder. For another person, they might struggle a lot more with caring. It's because as humans, we have this thing called individuality. We each have things we love and hate. Could you argue bricklaying is a more physically demanding job? Yes, you could successfully argue that. But a job being more physically demanding doesn't automatically make it overall more difficult. At least you don't have to often watch people you've cared for die as a bricklayer. My dad is a train driver, a job far less physically demanding than a bricklayer, but he's also had multiple jumpers decide to use his train as a suicide weapon. He's had to watch a body explode all over his cab window. And it's really affected him over the years. I also have a friend whose job was to pick up the globs of flesh left over on the tracks. Again, not at physical as a bricklayer, but I'd argue much harder on the mind.
@@stephaniefarrant I get the point you are trying to make but there are also some people that find it very demanding working in an office from 9-5, and I think we can both agree working in an office is slightly easier than maybe working in a coal mine
@@stephaniefarrant Because it's a job requiring strength you've assumed it's a job for brutes. You've no idea what the emotional challenges are but you assume them to be small because it fits your desired world view.
Piers needs to get a grip. Barbie is a girls doll and Ken not being cared for much is the whole point. They even joke about it in the movie but that doesn’t mean it’s an insult to men 💀 I’m a guy myself and it’s not that deep. It’s a movie about dolls! He needs to chill fr
No, the movie is basically just feminist propaganda. It litteraly starts off with some little girls playing with their barbie dolls and then they start bashing the barbie dolls saying "We don't need to be mothers anymore!!" Then the movie also centers around women not needing men and hating men aswell (Ken is basically the antagonist in the movie and barbie hates him). On top of all that, many characters in the movie are played by transgender people, essentially giving the message that boys can be better girls than girls themselves, which is an attack not only on girls but also on boys. I pray that parents have the sense and moral foundation to not take their little girls to watch this movie. Scary times we're living in that this kind of garbage is what's popular.
@@Ria.ray77257 what’s wrong with feminist commentary my dude? you really think this movie directed by a woman was only gonna be about dolls and not have a second degree?
How are women treated unfairly? Suicide rates are higher in men. Men are more likely to get harsher convictions for the same crime as a woman. Women get their own movies like this where they’re allowed to shit on men, but we don’t get the same privileges. Most of the time, in divorce cases, mothers get custody. If a woman accuses a man of a crime, she will be taken seriously and the man will be punished even if he’s innocent. There are entire days and months dedicated to women. So please. Explain to me how in today’s world, anyone but straight white men are treated unfairly?
@@thefnafdetective have you actually seen the movie 😐 why does a movie that showed you real world vs a fantasy world for women make you so angry and defensive of men, actually get a grip
@@thefnafdetective you know why suicides rates are high in men? because less men decide to take an action regarding their mental health. patriarchy affects not only women but men too, it has made men think seeking out for help is weak and them rather killing themselves is better. Statistics prove it. women seek out help more often in the mental health spectrum because women in society have been conditioned to think its okay. and women get to make movies where they're allowed to shit on men because we've been in ownership of men literally since ever. women have gained an individual self only since the past 40 years or so and just in the west, third world country women still have a far along way to come. false accusations are bad and some women try to take adavantage of it, but don't you think if somebody is reporting a crime to law, it should be investigated on? there are days and moths dedicated to women because we fight for our rights. Malala was shot her in face just because she wanted to have an education. even in America today abortion rights for women are batshit. just because some women are happy and thriving doesn't mean the whole community has gained their deserved rights
when a movie aimed at little girls makes men look like idiots, its subtle programming to make them dislike men. Doing this thousands of times through media/education makes them into misandrists. Take a look around you, its pretty obvious this has been happening a long time
@@Cherry-nc5us Why? I'm having great fun laughing at men who get themselves castrated to climb from the bottom to the top of the victimhood league. Funny and pathetic in equal parts.
In the ‘60s I had Barbie, Ken, Midge, and Skipper. I played with my friends who had Barbie, et al too… But we never knew what to do with Ken. 🤷🏻♀️ So soon after we began our play, Ken went “off to work for the day”…which meant we put him in a shoebox with a lid!

It's not to serve barbie... That's weird to say Ken was literally only created because people like peirs bitched that barbie was single. That's the only reason he exists.
It's ok. Both barbie and Ken serve only themselves. They live in separate apartments and maintain their career in corporate America. Soon their jobs will be replaced by automation and they'll have nothing to live off because they cannot retire. Their social security will dry up because none of the Barbies and kens had children and eventually they will die elderly and single like they originally planned for

I tried to watch 10min of Barbie and I wish I could wash my brain off. I think this is clever marketing by Matel. I loved barbie when I was a girl but this movie was awful. It was just pushing the girl boss narrative and I think the story line fell flat. I like the ken and barbie story better from Toy Story 3....also in the movie it kept saying Barbie is the reason for so many girls being strong women but I think that is giving Barbie too much credit, for real womens accomplishments. I believe women are strong because of there own will power and determination not because of a toy most of us quit playing with at around 13....
I agree that people are freaking out too much, however what should the right wing/conservatives do? Ignore it? No, because there needs to be pushback on both ends. Also I think this should be talked about as it is propaganda for young girls which teaches them that men are bad and that the patriarchy exists.
I respect origin Barbie vs. Ken. The toy line is about teaching girls to enjoy being a lady and having fun with life. As a man, I was never offended. I had GI Joe.
@@steelfistwarrior1332barbie movie was great, and provided an insight into experiences that men don’t really usually see from the eyes of a woman. even if you have negative expectations, i suggest that it’s worth a watch because it’s always great to see from all points of view
The working class are pretty much immune to this Hollywood propaganda. Ironically it is those young ladies from wealthy and comparatively wealthy families who have bought into this we are being screwed by the patriarchy. In fact traditional working class third wave feminists are harder to find than a Dodo lol
The movie literally does nothing but complain about men When men dare to call out misandry we are called insecure or sexist But women will make an entire movie about it
@@nobodythenobody9779 You didn’t understand a thing. If you are referring to the fact that Barbies rule in barbieland: That’s because that’s how almost every child played. There is no complain about men. In the real world some men see Barbie (-> a woman) just as some kind of object, most of powerful position are owned by man. On the other hand the equality is presented too, woman are allowed to become a doctor etc. which they weren’t years ago. Ken just brings back the rule of men to Barbieland. But I don’t see where exactly the movie is anti male. The Barbies rule due to the fact that’s how children played with Barbie, that has nothing to do with anti-Male. In fact, the movie shows that it is not right, if only one gender has the whole power. And it also shows stereotypes. The Barbies represent stereotyp girls and women, just like they would be based on prejudices, loving pink, having girls nights, care for their appearance etc. As soon as the Kens rule they represent the stereotypical behavior of a man based on prejudices, showing off their muscles, love to explain things to a woman and so on. Not to mention that the movie picks up other topics as well, criticizes that a Barbie looks “perfect” and can have a bad influence on girls, that the society still needs to learn to respect another (-> laughing at someone because they wear “strange” clothes and catcalling), the character development of Barbie and Ken (both learning they don’t need someone else in their life, they are enough and perfect the way they are, they don’t need to change for someone, they can be more than they are at the moment etc.), the critic of Mattel and so on. Most comments I have read about the “anti-male” thing refer to the fact that Barbies still rule Barbieland in the end. But since Barbieland is still a fictional place based on how children play(ed) it makes perfectly sense. How and where exactly do you see misandry in this movie?
@@Marie-cq2cy it’s trying to say that women are as oppressed as a world where men aren’t even allowed to be doctors 😂 get real Western women literally have more rights but cry the most You know who the ruling class is by the fact you aren’t allowed to criticize them or get called a sexist
As a Gen x generation that played with Barbie and looked at her as a role model to what we could aspire to become as little girls, Ken was an accessory BUT very vital role in playing with Barbies... Why would Ken dolls be given the Pinnacle role when it is catered for girls to play with, NOT boys? Did not diminish the role we gave Ken as little girls, he was still the father the husband the brother...
Ken's whole existential crisis is accurate depiction of what most men go through when they don't feel appreciated. And it's part of why men are abandoning commitment in this modern age because society has done a very terrible job at teaching young boys that they're more than their ability to provide. They're also people who deserve to be loved and appreciated. Manospheres have been fear mongering and taking advantage of hopeless young men by playing the same game the toxic feminists are playing. Teaching them to be resentful for things not going their way. And both sides are going to lose eventually. I feel grateful I have a positive feminine mother and a masculine father who taught me what it means to be a good man and what to expect from a good woman.
I find it interesting that it seemed to portray both patriarchy and matriarchy quite well. I thought that was done with intention? Like both worlds aren't fair. It'll only get better if people actually work on it. I did get bummed that they didn't make a perfect happy ending where all Kens, Barbies, and Alan can live equally, but what type of fantasy is that? Maybe they brought in some level of truth into it. Barbie Land is just the real world in reverse and shows (in reverse) the struggles of overcoming matriarchy/patriarchy. The Kens are not going to have it easy to be equal in a society where Barbies have the power and control. Same way women had (and are - I know some people don't believe this, but you can at least acknowledge they did have it hard to be equal) struggles to be equal to the men in society. It didn't happen overnight and we have not seen the happy ending of our own real world. Since it focuses on Barbie mostly, the view of the matriarchy will skew the perspective of the movie, no?
In the Barbie cartoon, dignity is given to all the characters, they all have a healthy interaction, the criticism goes because today every movie has an agenda and this one does too.
Bricklayer, mason, roofer, ironworker, ditch digger, sanitation worker- sewers, trash pick up. I don't see these feminists looking for higher numbers of women in these fields.
You're right, feminism is about having equil rights, and that means that me as a woman can decide that I don't want to be a brick layer, but if i wanted to, no one is gonna stop me, I'll make something mosaic. Just like men in these fields can go into a woman dominated field (like childcare). That being said, if you're so unhappy that woman aren't normally in these fields, I really hope you clean sewers to help our economy and civilization because these jobs are important and needed (which many immigrants do, thanks guys I appreciate all that you do for us❤️) but if you're not, it is well within in your rights, no judgment.
Meh, I would gladly do a manual job, but I know that even if I were hired for a position like that, I'd probably physically collapse and wind up with bone stress fractures.
Women do want jobs in trade and face descrimination in said fields. Women also face descrimination in the military. Feminists argue for less harrassment in trade fields for easier barriers of entry. Also most men and women don’t do trade in general.
I played with Barbie as a child and I loved dressing her up. I recently saw on tv that there is a new Barbie film. I watched a promo for it and would love to see it.... and I'm 60 😊 It's just a children's film and Barbie is just a doll..... no need to get all hot and bothered about it ❤
@camw9133 that's a bit harsh!! In my previous comment I did point out that I only saw a promo for the film. Listening to what was said, it seemed to me that some people were getting hot and bothered about a film....whether it's for adults or children I stand by my first comment. There are ways to make a point to people, the way you did it was uncalled for.
It's a movie. For once in years we get a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, and you complain about it 😂 I usually agree with you Piers but not this time. This debate wasn't necessary.
Agreed. Its just a barbie movie. They are creating the monster they claim to be fighting. Its the same with rasicm and homophobia. The more they draw attention to these topics the bigger they become
Piers said, "It's an assault to not just ken but to all men." Did he feel assaulted???? does he even know what assault mean? the unsettling pictures and memory one has to carry and then hea from after facing an assault to live a life normal again. He just threw those words from his mouth
This was totally a slam towards men...it's a doll where girls play dress up with but this movie turned into a anti men and men are the worst people in the world...was funnier is feminist used to hate barbie for being a illegitimate portrayal of women.
@@AmirChemE no, I don’t. It’s for adults and older teens who grew up playing Barbie’s. It’s not that hard to understand. It’s rated pg-13, and literally ended with a sex joke in the first trailer. It’s not that hard to understand.
Boomers are not bad people. Us minorities Boomer grandparents that did good thing. Shut up you entitled idiot, you are probably some middle class jerk that inherited wealth. I am tired of your kind talking crap. Many of us had Boomer grandparents that had class and knew how to act like humans. Moron.

I remember being an 8 year old girl and playing with a “Dentist” Barbie, and for years as a child I always wanted to be a Dentist and whilst I didn’t become a Dentist I did become a Dr! It doesn’t need to be as deep as Barbie being a feminist “icon”…. but it can have some positive influence on little girls!

@@caitlynlivingston7272Probably growing up and learning about more professions. Like most people do. Though Barbie probably laid some of the back bone and motivation to become something more challenging.
The fact his only "evidence" is a hunch all the men will be called Ken while the barbies have individual names is stupid. Barbie herself describes her girl friends as "barbies" early in the first trailer and the cast details title some actresses as "[job title] barbie" just as much as there are actors as "Ken."
@@bigxtoes Who cares? Women shouldn't be worried about working but our government screwed us over. The government knew that in order for families to stay together, the woman needed some incentive to stay devoted to her marriage, so they took that away to create division. Now men have absolutely no leverage and women been running around whoring because it makes them feel "empowered". I don't care If women work but this whole "I don't need a man" Ideology is retarded because men have and are still building this world. All the luxuries that you enjoy are because of men literally sacrificing their lives (women too) because that's what being a human is about, sacrificing your body, mind, and spirit for the next generation. Ya'll feminist shouldn't even exist, but a bunch of "intellectual" MEN AND WOMEN came together and constructed a plain to reshape humanity. In the future there will definitely be a time when humans won't even be human anymore, but we need to slow down and think about the ramifications of our actions today.

Mother goes to a store to by a barbie for her daughter, she asks the store owner “how much do the dolls cost”?, the store owner said “ nurse barbie is $30 dollars, cowboy barbie is $30 dollars, mermaids barbie is $30 dollars and divorce barbie is $130 dollar”. The woman was shocked and asked “why is divorce barbie so expensive?” The store owner replied” b/c barbie gets everything, kens home, car, horse and camper van” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣👏🏻👏🏻
Yea maybe divorce barbie gave up her career, raised kens kids and invested years from her life into that relationship to support kens career just to be dumped. This is why education and work if important for women. In case of a divorce, no one has to get paid
@@_chapternumberone_8782or may be Barbie had a choice to educate herself and do some work but she willingly choose to be a housewife and when she got sick of her wifey role and realised she must have gotten education and do some work so she took divorce and everything with it blaming ken that he was the barrier in her success...
It’s a movie about dolls. It keeps true to the franchise of Barbie and how Ken was never supposed to be forefront. He was actually an accessory to Barbie because boys typically didn’t play with Barbie and needed to be represented in careers. The great thing about movies is that people take away different things, especially with psychological and emotional pieces. Some people view barbie as a very important political piece and focus on that while others look at it as a metaphor for growing up and seeing Barbie’s innocence as the broken innocence of an aging woman. Not just aging women but an aging human. I’m sure everyone has/will at some point experience a realization with the aging body and mind and the heaviness of human emotion. It happens when we grow up and it can be scary seeing the body morph as well as the mind.

Comparing bricklaying and hospice work is like comparing apples and oranges. One is difficult physically, the other emotionally. Neither is easy, and both are important.
I do agree, but I would say (just an idea) for example that bricklayers must have it tough mentally too. I mean, not enough pay, most likely underpaid, long hours, bosses probably abusing them (with unpaid work, hours, etc), dangers depending on situations and weather, and not being about to afford for your family. Also A better example is men working in sewage, mines, oil mines on the ocean, fishing boats, putting up and maintaining electrical towers? The things with electricity lines... :)😅
@@networth00 Not all women want the same thing. I want equality of opportunity (which I have) - but with the SAME standards as men. Ie, if I can't meet the demands of the job, I don't deserve it! I'm 5'0" & 100 lbs, so bricklaying is out of the question for me! 🤣 No way I should go out there and demand equal pay to lay 10% of the bricks as my coworker! The issue is that a lot of vocal women want special accommodation and want to be treated as SUPERIOR, not equal. As for "taking the easy way out," I'm not sure what you mean. We should all choose suitable careers for ourselves as individuals, given our unique skills. But if you're referring to women wanting lower standards but equal pay for lower performance at a particular job (eg, manual labor), I agree that's wrong.
@@yahoo642 You're right, it wasn't a perfect analogy. Many physical jobs come with all sorts of stress (as you've noted), while emotionally challenging jobs (eg, hospice, ICU, etc) can also come with physical stresses (eg, 60+ hr workweeks on your feet, while 6-9 months pregnant, lifting and turning 350+ lb patients all shift, etc). Bottom line: Lots of people have difficulties, and it's usually counterproductive for us to compete in the "oppressed Olympics," competing over who's life sucks more. 😆
An American older guy here, was trying to figure out more about the Barbie movie. Barbie in America never had a secret meaning for anyone, girls or boys. It is was toy almost entirely for girls in my day, and many generations since my day. No secret meanings. How did this "panel" go off on a tangent and into the weeds talking about completely unrelated topics? Why can't girls just enjoy a toy that was made for them if they liked it? I would expect a toy made for girls to be mostly about girls and the movie likewise? This episode is really a video clip about mental illness and an argument looking for a victim.
I love how she just called out Piers Morgan for distracting the public with frivolous arguments instead of speaking about what is more important and actually affects oriole’s lives. Now that I think about it. Never have I listened to piers Morgan and become informed about important matter instead it’s always been cheap entertainment of frivolous identity politics
I have a real question… who actually listens and agrees with piers and is seen as a good person (and not by their mothers, family or people they keep hostage)?
Conservative here: The Barbie movie is supposed to be how little girls play with Barbie- everything from having a million jobs to her extra arched feet to not walking down to her car to not taking a real shower to Barbie and Ken’s naïveté. Ken has ALWAYS been her sidekick. I didn’t even have official Ken dolls growing up because Ken is a sidekick. Also, Ken is the one who goes on the adventure with Barbie. The fact that Ken gets to go on the adventure is huge.
Black men are still considered sidekick slaves! Even on this panel the Black man is totally left out by design! Barbie is as racist as she has ever been and she remains the icon of white supremacy! Any Black woman who buys white dolls for her daughter is a self-loathing FOOL!
Robin was a side kick, but was shown that he could be reliable, but imperfect at times. He learned to work together with batman to solve any issue. However in Barbie, men are portrayed as unreliable, self serving rapists who treat women like objects( Like women dont do that too) Its so sad that they could have done more to the movie, instead of all this victimhood trope.
@@KYOBI4178victimhood? c’mon more like exaggerated way to compare Barbieland and real world for humor value…It’s exaggerated and showing how naive Barbie was thinking everyone has good intentions like in her world. Most of the audience probably laughed their ass off when she got spanked by a stranger
@@KYOBI4178 it sounds like your issue isn’t with the Barbie movie but rather the Barbie franchise. Ken has always been a bit of an afterthought. He’s Barbie’s trophy boyfriend/husband.
Lol, imagine if the scenario you just mentioned was in the reverse. Feminist would RIOT, and from having conversations, feminist are not mailable to understanding nuances like you are now when it does not involve women being front and center. Nuance is only understood when it comes to men.
well according to the women in the comments, Ken is just an accessory like a handbag. So by these womens logic, Lois Lane is just an item too, not a person. Use their own logic against them.
@@AzguardMikeI mean- he is tho. Like ur not buying ur girl more ken dolls then barbie we don't need him to have fun. Barbie wants romance? They have each other to kiss
@@AzguardMike cause he is if you actually knew Barbie you'd understand he himself only wants to be Barbie's boyfriend there's a whole episode in Barbie of him trying to find a different job but then he realises the only thing he wants to do is to be barbies boyfriend
I've just been to see this film and I can honestly say it's the most sexist and outrageous thing I've ever seen. If this negativity was aimed at women or any other group of people it would be quite rightly condemned. This film is anti-men propaganda
I’m a man and I loved this movie. I didn’t feel attacked at all, in fact, quite the opposite. Anyone with more than a few brain cells could see that the film had a lot to say when addressing men’s issues. There was a great message to be found for men through the story of Ken and his journey to self acceptance.
So, men should be subservient to women, making their lives perfect while living in the background. That’s feminism at its core. The fact the movie women should be happy being single, and their perfect world is being single is disturbing.
The Barbie toys have always been Barbie and her sisters. There have been several male characters introduced and cancelled over the years but none were popular enough to stay. Among the guys were Alan, Brad, Curtis, Todd, Steven, Tommy, Derek, Kurt, Ryan, Ricky, Scott and Kevin. As a kid who played with Barbie dolls in the 70s, we threw Ken back in the storage bin to be “at work” and stole our brothers’ G.I. Joe figures to be the real men of the house.
Yup... our barbies were paired with gi joe.... Ken was always a weird asexual doll. He didn't look like a dad or husband. He was the weird neighbor lol
The humour in every man being "just Ken" relies on an appreciation of irony. It's not a comment on men, it's a comment on a side-kick character in children's games.
It's such a wild coincidence that zero franchises aimed at boys ever dare to denegrate the female characters in those franchises out of irony. It only ever happens to men
@@ericb5328 That's a fair point. I suppose, though, that it is more socially acceptable to poke fun and laugh at men, because men are generally funnier than women.
@@ericb5328lterally because toys made for boys do not focus on romantic themes..? Barbie is a stereotypical girl who likes makeup, fashion and has a boyfriend who happens to be Ken, no degradation here. Most boys want to be super hereos while little girls want to be princess with a prince. So why would they even include females in boy toys franchise unless she’s a super hero. Also it could be that, it’s not expected for a lady to be single especially Barbie
@@sana.4.a This movie doesn't stop there, but a plot of a marxist struggle of the sexes. Which side deserves to be the plebs or emperors. Males are portrayed as bozos or wannabe tyrants. Meanwhile action style movies men consumed had plenty of strong, tactical, smart female characters in them.
@@DB742 Barbie franchise have always portrayed Ken as a character with not much deep development. He’s just Barbie’s boy. It’s not degrading in any way as the franchise is made for girls mainly. Why would they focus on Ken? I would not compare the Barbie movie which is a parody of the actual Barbie doll with other action movies which seriously tells the story about super heroes. I think if they wanted to make Barbie live action it would be kid friendly, this one is PG-13 and made for the generation of girls who played w Barbie in the early 2000s
Well this is why I can't always agree with the 'right' side of politics. Not everything made is an attack on men or "girl power" concept. In the Barbie world Ken was always the "underdog" as it's Barbie"s world. Just don't watch it if you don't like it. It's not an attack on men it's just a movie mostly fiction.
@@cherrybae43 No it's not. Since when is Barbie a boy's interest? Some boys might but most people are girls. I watched the movie and clearly the audience is meant for teens even me as 21 didn't enjoy it however I don't feel it's an attack on men it's just a fiction world. I feel the reaction from Piers is an exageration. It's no one near a masterpiece of a movie it's just one of these movies you watch and move on.
If playing with barbies shapes your whole personality as well as your life and career choices I am sorry to inform you that the problem is not with the barbie doll.
Well, that is exactly the argument that the left wingers use when talking about the importance of making gender free dolls and games, films and cultural products.
This is a pure example of making something out of NOTHING. Barbie has always been a doll for girls, a way for children to get a sense of glamor in the most unachievable standards, and that’s the point. Dolls are to make children dream and think beyond their reality. Simple as that. Doesn’t need to be political. It’s up to the parents to guide the child where to go from there
ill bet you a hundred made up printed monies that they'll point out white ken has no crotch..no wonder the chinese want to colonize or destroy the world ...
exactly, just like supercar posters for boys. I had a Lamborghini Diablo and a Dodge Viper on my bedroom wall as a kid. I doubt I'll ever be able to afford either one of them, but it's perfectly normal to have inspirations and dreams like that, especially as a kid. After all, you need something to aim for as a kid even if you'll never get there. Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll land amongst the stars.
Exactly!! Im so sick of this woke shit making everything a trauma!
There is a lady in tassie who upcycles brats dolls to look like normal children. A bit of paint & repair and they no longer have the overtook glam we see so much of these days

Enjoy your cats and box wine lady/ladyboy 🤣
@porter9494dude they are literally mocking from the men in a barbie movie. And for you its okay?
I grew up playing with Barbies, never once did I think I was meant to look like Barbie. I didn’t think babies looked like Baby Born, or horses looked like My Little Pony. Kids aren’t as stupid as we make them out to be.
👍
This is an excellent statement.
Me too and I hate how everything became so political and the whole agenda of the LGBTQRSTUV I feel for the kids today and how much of a target they have become
Same. I was going to say the same thing!
It's a bit like saying that every child that played with a transformer tried to sneak into their dad's garage and weld metal pieces to themselves so they could be one for real.
These demented pea-doughs think children have no agency as you say are some kind of thicko spazs
I still fail to see how Ken's depiction is an insult to all men? :I Literally, the happy end is that Barbie acknowledges the damage she has done to Ken by dismissing his feelings, acknowledging them and him finally trying to find himself as an own person, not just as an addition to Barbie.
Yeah I agree with you. They reached on this one
Yes. Thank you.
All men are Ken 🙌🏽
Still shows men as subservient to women and also when it goes to the real world it depicts all men as macho assholes
Right? Guess they watched a different movie lol
I played with dark haired Barbie to do her hair, I didn’t become a hairdresser. My grandma knitted her clothes, I didn’t go into fashion. She had nothing at all to do with what shaped me. I loved having her.
Legit, I hardly played with dolls, I was a total tomboy, but I loved swimming as a kid so my mum got me the Olympic swimmer Barbie, which I loved; It didn't make me 'not a tomboy' after than, and I'm lucky if I get to go swimming once a year now, let alone become an Olympic swimming champion
Dolls were never meant to reflect reality. They basically served as imaginary companions and then discarded. Most of the Barbie dolls I've owned and have seen, wound up dirty, naked, and with tangled hair when we were done playing with them.

I think your missing the point, the movie is called Barbie. Maybe if you played with Barbie's you'd get it, but you didn't. I did & Ken was always just Ken, Barbie's BF. I mean we're talking about toys played with by kids, it's not that deep.
Precisely.
right! I remember thinking it was too weird that they came out with other ken dolls because that created complications that my Barbie did not need. She already had the hot pink convertible and the 2 storey home with a balcony. 1 Ken made everything easier lol
And Indiana Jones is called Indiana Jones - yet an empowered super awesome female co star is added there. If all these male starring movies and shows that sold toys needed to change to cater to women then barbie needs a total ovverhaul as well.
Perhaps deeper thinkers can see things that those that can't see ?
Its deeper than you think .
@@poocrayon4588 It would, if f3 min ism was about equality.
It's not anti-men when audiences felt for the male. People loved Ken's role and are talking positively about him more than ever. It's called the Barbie movie, but Ken stole the show. Ken's now the one taking over pop-culture and memes.
The real message of the movie was about equality and all these stupid societal expectations we ALL feel pressured by at one point or another. We've all felt like we have to be perfect or we're not good enough. Good enough for who or for what? We don't really know, but we still feel it at times. That's why "I am Kenough" is trending. We've all been Ken.
TL;DR: For a movie that's supposedly anti-male, how tf is THE MALE of the movie the one trending in a good way? Ken has finally risen to pop-culture icon status thanks to the Barbie movie. This isn't what anti-male looks like.
Just because people felt for the male doesn't mean that's what the movie makers were aiming for.
They completely failed in making males look like dumb dogs
Movie makers aim to show men in general, like Ken are useless and run around women, like Barbie, but they are supposed to be rejected
Brilliant comment. I'm one ofnthose who felt sorry for Ken. He had his feeling player all the time. And to be honest, women in adolescentes and youth ages can be Barbies, I mean, treat a guy like the 'for ever friend', make the poor dude their Ken. Just when adulthood nikcs the door, is when we realise that treat guys as Ken is perhaps not fair.
This movie was not aimed towards equality, it aims for a matriarchal society where women are in the position men once had. Instead of a goal of equality between men and women, Barbie pushes towards a world ran by women
I want to go back to the days when things were spectacularly simple. We didnt have to think and over think every toy, action, word, phrase and gender. Science was simple. People were not micro sensitive. There were hardships and we just got on with it.
hurrah someone with sense ...please takes us back to 1985...
THANK YOU, this looks like a fun, funny cute movie and now we have adults arguing over it.
its not hard to just not be a jerk lol. you don't have to think about toys, actions, words, phrases and genders, you obviously care about these things if you're thinking about them. why do you have to think about someones sexuality or gender, its not effecting you so it shouldn't be hard to just not say something out of pocket... unless you care oncourse.

I mixed mud, hauled rocks, shoveled sand, installed scaffolding and supports for stonework, packed stones up several levels of scaffolding....

As a person who played with Barbies when I was real young- Ken has ALWAYS been a "fill in the blanks" kind of male. The center of Barbie's world are the people who play with the dolls. I had my Ken as a rough and rugged farmer- *or building houses, a vet- out working in the fields while Barbie fixed dinner. Ken was the lifeguard next to the pool (blue felt square) that saves Barbie and visa versa. Because Ken was left mostly to the child's imagination with a few outfits to play in Barbie's world. Often though, with many little girls... Ken was on the sidelines, waiting to be brought into play. -- and the movie reflects this. A movie that was made to be a spoof so they are making fun of the fact-- Ken was just a blank slate.
Great comment my niece is exactly the same with her Barbies. I love them too.💕
I was thinking the same and I wouldn't have been able to say it better. This movie is reflection of how girls would play with Barbie, it has nothing to do with politics.

Funny thing is she stands out as being so stupid but would never reconsider her position.
Equal opportunities do not lead to equal outcomes. Men and women are psychologically and biologically different and there's nothing you can do about them no matter how much you try to defeat gender stereotypes, the patriarchy, etc. Therefore if you give them the same opportunities then the outcomes will not be the same.
Amen. 💯
"if you give them the same opportunities" In some cases they don't have the same opportunities. If women make it through their studies without encountering a male professor who has a diminished view of women, she will likely encounter men at some point in her career who do, and those men might be her superiors, the ones who decide whether or not she advances, or gets a raise, or gets a bonus.

I always thought Barbie was good for girls because it told them that even if your pretty and care about your looks you can still be whatever you want. I thought it was a good contrast to all the movies and TV shows where the pretty girl was dumb and vain while the "ugly" ones were the smart ones.
Also, since it was a toy marketed towards girls Ken never really had a job that I'm aware of and I thought it was hilarious that they actually took that and poked fun that the man was the trophy instead of the woman.

Played with Barbies growing up in South America. Ken was always tossed to the side bc well, he wasn’t interesting so no one wanted to play with him. We wanted to dress up our Barbies in colorful outfits, brush her beautiful hair, drive her car, shop for her closet and home. SHE was the star of playtime, not Ken. Had nothing to do with thinking women are superior or hating on men. So let’s stop further dividing humanity by jumping on Barbie’s case 🙄
it was so lovely watching my daughters play so imaginatively with dolls
As a boy in ancient times, I loved pretending and playing like I was Roy Rogers, Tom mix, Mickey mantle, Willie mays, GI Joe but I never became a professional ball player, cowboy or brave war hero. I became a supply sgt in military reserves and later, a psychologist but I fondly recall those memories, playing with neighborhood friends, sibs, and yelling, “Reach for the sky, I have you covered!” As a great granddad, it is sorta sad to see most of the kids in solitary mode, walking/sitting with earplugs and focused on iPhones/pads. We built forts, explored woods, played ball until dark when moms/dads called us home. Imagine, in our poor neighborhood, there were about 20 + kids playing games and doing things without supervision...and we rarely got trouble. You know 90% or more of those kids went to houses of worship on Sundays....I wonder if that helped, too! Forgive an old guy’s rambling...could not help it.

She just told 2 lies women do not get less pay, we had the whole soccer fiasco and it proved that women were getting paid the same even though they made less money for the teams, we also know there are no sewage female technicians or other very difficult jobs that men are the only ones that apply, because apparently it's too difficult or traumatizing for women to do.
So I wouldn't call women being on the front line of the hardest jobs true either.

How about they come out with a Barbie movie where she is happily married to Ken. He happens to not just provide, but also offers support and happines. This Ken would be cast as a real man and not a 15 year old Abercrombie model. I dont think Hollywood is interested in making a movie like that.
I've been a bricklayer (10 years) and a care worker (5 years). Bricklaying was harder, hands down. In care, many people can literally loaf through the job and it's frustrating. You can't loaf through bricklaying, I've seen people be instantly chewed out and they fall off the face of the earth.
You don't need to explain yourself anyone with any sense knows that bricklaying is harder 😂
@jennykononenko2527 no, they don't. Because to think that would be stupid. For this one person, bricklaying was harder. For another person, they might struggle a lot more with caring. It's because as humans, we have this thing called individuality. We each have things we love and hate. Could you argue bricklaying is a more physically demanding job? Yes, you could successfully argue that. But a job being more physically demanding doesn't automatically make it overall more difficult. At least you don't have to often watch people you've cared for die as a bricklayer. My dad is a train driver, a job far less physically demanding than a bricklayer, but he's also had multiple jumpers decide to use his train as a suicide weapon. He's had to watch a body explode all over his cab window. And it's really affected him over the years. I also have a friend whose job was to pick up the globs of flesh left over on the tracks. Again, not at physical as a bricklayer, but I'd argue much harder on the mind.

Reverse the gender and see how the thing goes.
No, the movie is basically just feminist propaganda. It litteraly starts off with some little girls playing with their barbie dolls and then they start bashing the barbie dolls saying "We don't need to be mothers anymore!!" Then the movie also centers around women not needing men and hating men aswell (Ken is basically the antagonist in the movie and barbie hates him). On top of all that, many characters in the movie are played by transgender people, essentially giving the message that boys can be better girls than girls themselves, which is an attack not only on girls but also on boys.
I pray that parents have the sense and moral foundation to not take their little girls to watch this movie. Scary times we're living in that this kind of garbage is what's popular.

How are women treated unfairly? Suicide rates are higher in men. Men are more likely to get harsher convictions for the same crime as a woman. Women get their own movies like this where they’re allowed to shit on men, but we don’t get the same privileges. Most of the time, in divorce cases, mothers get custody. If a woman accuses a man of a crime, she will be taken seriously and the man will be punished even if he’s innocent. There are entire days and months dedicated to women.
So please. Explain to me how in today’s world, anyone but straight white men are treated unfairly?

@@thefnafdetective you know why suicides rates are high in men? because less men decide to take an action regarding their mental health. patriarchy affects not only women but men too, it has made men think seeking out for help is weak and them rather killing themselves is better. Statistics prove it. women seek out help more often in the mental health spectrum because women in society have been conditioned to think its okay. and women get to make movies where they're allowed to shit on men because we've been in ownership of men literally since ever. women have gained an individual self only since the past 40 years or so and just in the west, third world country women still have a far along way to come. false accusations are bad and some women try to take adavantage of it, but don't you think if somebody is reporting a crime to law, it should be investigated on? there are days and moths dedicated to women because we fight for our rights. Malala was shot her in face just because she wanted to have an education. even in America today abortion rights for women are batshit. just because some women are happy and thriving doesn't mean the whole community has gained their deserved rights
I think Morgan and the producers of the film Barbie are overthinking this. It's a doll.
when a movie aimed at little girls makes men look like idiots, its subtle programming to make them dislike men. Doing this thousands of times through media/education makes them into misandrists. Take a look around you, its pretty obvious this has been happening a long time

The movie literally does nothing but complain about men
When men dare to call out misandry we are called insecure or sexist
But women will make an entire movie about it
@@nobodythenobody9779 You didn’t understand a thing. If you are referring to the fact that Barbies rule in barbieland: That’s because that’s how almost every child played. There is no complain about men. In the real world some men see Barbie (-> a woman) just as some kind of object, most of powerful position are owned by man. On the other hand the equality is presented too, woman are allowed to become a doctor etc. which they weren’t years ago. Ken just brings back the rule of men to Barbieland. But I don’t see where exactly the movie is anti male. The Barbies rule due to the fact that’s how children played with Barbie, that has nothing to do with anti-Male. In fact, the movie shows that it is not right, if only one gender has the whole power. And it also shows stereotypes. The Barbies represent stereotyp girls and women, just like they would be based on prejudices, loving pink, having girls nights, care for their appearance etc. As soon as the Kens rule they represent the stereotypical behavior of a man based on prejudices, showing off their muscles, love to explain things to a woman and so on. Not to mention that the movie picks up other topics as well, criticizes that a Barbie looks “perfect” and can have a bad influence on girls, that the society still needs to learn to respect another (-> laughing at someone because they wear “strange” clothes and catcalling), the character development of Barbie and Ken (both learning they don’t need someone else in their life, they are enough and perfect the way they are, they don’t need to change for someone, they can be more than they are at the moment etc.), the critic of Mattel and so on. Most comments I have read about the “anti-male” thing refer to the fact that Barbies still rule Barbieland in the end. But since Barbieland is still a fictional place based on how children play(ed) it makes perfectly sense. How and where exactly do you see misandry in this movie?
@@Marie-cq2cy it’s trying to say that women are as oppressed as a world where men aren’t even allowed to be doctors 😂 get real

They posted this 3 weeks ago, they haven’t even seen the movie.
As a Gen x generation that played with Barbie and looked at her as a role model to what we could aspire to become as little girls, Ken was an accessory BUT very vital role in playing with Barbies... Why would Ken dolls be given the Pinnacle role when it is catered for girls to play with, NOT boys?
Did not diminish the role we gave Ken as little girls, he was still the father the husband the brother...
Yeah but he’s the sidekick at the same time. I didn’t even have Ken dolls for my Barbies.
Ken's whole existential crisis is accurate depiction of what most men go through when they don't feel appreciated. And it's part of why men are abandoning commitment in this modern age because society has done a very terrible job at teaching young boys that they're more than their ability to provide. They're also people who deserve to be loved and appreciated. Manospheres have been fear mongering and taking advantage of hopeless young men by playing the same game the toxic feminists are playing. Teaching them to be resentful for things not going their way. And both sides are going to lose eventually. I feel grateful I have a positive feminine mother and a masculine father who taught me what it means to be a good man and what to expect from a good woman.
I find it interesting that it seemed to portray both patriarchy and matriarchy quite well. I thought that was done with intention? Like both worlds aren't fair. It'll only get better if people actually work on it. I did get bummed that they didn't make a perfect happy ending where all Kens, Barbies, and Alan can live equally, but what type of fantasy is that? Maybe they brought in some level of truth into it. Barbie Land is just the real world in reverse and shows (in reverse) the struggles of overcoming matriarchy/patriarchy.
The Kens are not going to have it easy to be equal in a society where Barbies have the power and control. Same way women had (and are - I know some people don't believe this, but you can at least acknowledge they did have it hard to be equal) struggles to be equal to the men in society. It didn't happen overnight and we have not seen the happy ending of our own real world.
Since it focuses on Barbie mostly, the view of the matriarchy will skew the perspective of the movie, no?
In the Barbie cartoon, dignity is given to all the characters, they all have a healthy interaction, the criticism goes because today every movie has an agenda and this one does too.
Why should super hero comic books cater to girls when they have always been primarily popular with BOYS?
Double standards much?

Take a flight out of your mom's cushy basement
You're right, feminism is about having equil rights, and that means that me as a woman can decide that I don't want to be a brick layer, but if i wanted to, no one is gonna stop me, I'll make something mosaic. Just like men in these fields can go into a woman dominated field (like childcare). That being said, if you're so unhappy that woman aren't normally in these fields, I really hope you clean sewers to help our economy and civilization because these jobs are important and needed (which many immigrants do, thanks guys I appreciate all that you do for us❤️) but if you're not, it is well within in your rights, no judgment.
Meh, I would gladly do a manual job, but I know that even if I were hired for a position like that, I'd probably physically collapse and wind up with bone stress fractures.
Women do want jobs in trade and face descrimination in said fields. Women also face descrimination in the military. Feminists argue for less harrassment in trade fields for easier barriers of entry.
Also most men and women don’t do trade in general.
I played with Barbie as a child and I loved dressing her up. I recently saw on tv that there is a new Barbie film. I watched a promo for it and would love to see it.... and I'm 60 😊
It's just a children's film and Barbie is just a doll..... no need to get all hot and bothered about it ❤
Love that you shared this! I’m going with my grown daughters- we are all going to dress up and have fun at the movies!!!
@@Somuchfire Good for you 👍 enjoy yourselves ☺️☺️
It's not a children's film lol you're clueless
@camw9133 that's a bit harsh!! In my previous comment I did point out that I only saw a promo for the film. Listening to what was said, it seemed to me that some people were getting hot and bothered about a film....whether it's for adults or children I stand by my first comment.

Feminism wants to be in charge
It's a movie. For once in years we get a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, and you complain about it 😂 I usually agree with you Piers but not this time. This debate wasn't necessary.
It's a feminist troupe that is hiding itself behind an icon in order for girls to buy into the propaganda.
Agreed. Its just a barbie movie. They are creating the monster they claim to be fighting.
Its the same with rasicm and homophobia. The more they draw attention to these topics the bigger they become
The next time you hear someone complain that a movie is not "representative" enough or some other leftist nonsense remember it's just a movie.
“It’s a movie.“
So was *Triumph of the Will.*
Piers said, "It's an assault to not just ken but to all men." Did he feel assaulted???? does he even know what assault mean? the unsettling pictures and memory one has to carry and then hea from after facing an assault to live a life normal again. He just threw those words from his mouth
Mhm
This was totally a slam towards men...it's a doll where girls play dress up with but this movie turned into a anti men and men are the worst people in the world...was funnier is feminist used to hate barbie for being a illegitimate portrayal of women.

When did you see Barbie in the movies growing up? 🤷🏻♀️ How old are you?
@@dooraexploore9388 That’s a huge distorted exaggeration. Something a drama queen would declare! 🎭🤴🏻
I remember being an 8 year old girl and playing with a “Dentist” Barbie, and for years as a child I always wanted to be a Dentist and whilst I didn’t become a Dentist I did become a Dr! It doesn’t need to be as deep as Barbie being a feminist “icon”…. but it can have some positive influence on little girls!

@@caitlynlivingston7272Probably growing up and learning about more professions. Like most people do. Though Barbie probably laid some of the back bone and motivation to become something more challenging.
The fact his only "evidence" is a hunch all the men will be called Ken while the barbies have individual names is stupid. Barbie herself describes her girl friends as "barbies" early in the first trailer and the cast details title some actresses as "[job title] barbie" just as much as there are actors as "Ken."

@@bigxtoes Who cares? Women shouldn't be worried about working but our government screwed us over. The government knew that in order for families to stay together, the woman needed some incentive to stay devoted to her marriage, so they took that away to create division. Now men have absolutely no leverage and women been running around whoring because it makes them feel "empowered". I don't care If women work but this whole "I don't need a man" Ideology is retarded because men have and are still building this world. All the luxuries that you enjoy are because of men literally sacrificing their lives (women too) because that's what being a human is about, sacrificing your body, mind, and spirit for the next generation. Ya'll feminist shouldn't even exist, but a bunch of "intellectual" MEN AND WOMEN came together and constructed a plain to reshape humanity. In the future there will definitely be a time when humans won't even be human anymore, but we need to slow down and think about the ramifications of our actions today.

😄
Omg💀💀💀💀
good one...
Old but Gold! Actually the only joke i know about Barbie😂
Mother goes to a store to by a barbie for her daughter, she asks the store owner “how much do the dolls cost”?, the store owner said “ nurse barbie is $30 dollars, cowboy barbie is $30 dollars, mermaids barbie is $30 dollars and divorce barbie is $130 dollar”. The woman was shocked and asked “why is divorce barbie so expensive?” The store owner replied” b/c barbie gets everything, kens home, car, horse and camper van” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣👏🏻👏🏻
Yea maybe divorce barbie gave up her career, raised kens kids and invested years from her life into that relationship to support kens career just to be dumped. This is why education and work if important for women. In case of a divorce, no one has to get paid
Maybe it's the Ken dolls that should be more expensive to buy because he needs the income 🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Thats a big maybe! He should have got a pre nup!
@@_chapternumberone_8782or may be Barbie had a choice to educate herself and do some work but she willingly choose to be a housewife and when she got sick of her wifey role and realised she must have gotten education and do some work so she took divorce and everything with it blaming ken that he was the barrier in her success...
It’s a movie about dolls. It keeps true to the franchise of Barbie and how Ken was never supposed to be forefront. He was actually an accessory to Barbie because boys typically didn’t play with Barbie and needed to be represented in careers.
The great thing about movies is that people take away different things, especially with psychological and emotional pieces. Some people view barbie as a very important political piece and focus on that while others look at it as a metaphor for growing up and seeing Barbie’s innocence as the broken innocence of an aging woman. Not just aging women but an aging human. I’m sure everyone has/will at some point experience a realization with the aging body and mind and the heaviness of human emotion. It happens when we grow up and it can be scary seeing the body morph as well as the mind.

And you can tell who has no argument, they shout louder and try to make sure no one else can say a word. If you ever try to say being a mother/caregiver is not the hardest job in the world they blow their tops pretty fast.

Comparing bricklaying and hospice work is like comparing apples and oranges. One is difficult physically, the other emotionally. Neither is easy, and both are important.
The point is... women want equality yet take the easy way out.
I do agree, but I would say (just an idea) for example that bricklayers must have it tough mentally too. I mean, not enough pay, most likely underpaid, long hours, bosses probably abusing them (with unpaid work, hours, etc), dangers depending on situations and weather, and not being about to afford for your family. Also
A better example is men working in sewage, mines, oil mines on the ocean, fishing boats, putting up and maintaining electrical towers? The things with electricity lines... :)😅
@@networth00 not all women are modern fems
@@networth00 Not all women want the same thing. I want equality of opportunity (which I have) - but with the SAME standards as men. Ie, if I can't meet the demands of the job, I don't deserve it! I'm 5'0" & 100 lbs, so bricklaying is out of the question for me! 🤣 No way I should go out there and demand equal pay to lay 10% of the bricks as my coworker!
The issue is that a lot of vocal women want special accommodation and want to be treated as SUPERIOR, not equal.
As for "taking the easy way out," I'm not sure what you mean. We should all choose suitable careers for ourselves as individuals, given our unique skills. But if you're referring to women wanting lower standards but equal pay for lower performance at a particular job (eg, manual labor), I agree that's wrong.
@@yahoo642 You're right, it wasn't a perfect analogy. Many physical jobs come with all sorts of stress (as you've noted), while emotionally challenging jobs (eg, hospice, ICU, etc) can
also come with physical stresses (eg, 60+ hr workweeks on your feet, while 6-9 months pregnant, lifting and turning 350+ lb patients all shift, etc).
Bottom line: Lots of people have difficulties, and it's usually counterproductive for us to compete in the "oppressed Olympics," competing over who's life sucks more. 😆
The same folks crying about society getting too soft are now crying about a Barbie movie a month after crying about The Little Mermaid
I think its kinda funny ngl
soft rightwingers love to cry
We are not crying, this is just stupid propaganda.
An American older guy here, was trying to figure out more about the Barbie movie.
Barbie in America never had a secret meaning for anyone, girls or boys.
It is was toy almost entirely for girls in my day, and many generations since my day.
No secret meanings.
How did this "panel" go off on a tangent and into the weeds talking about completely unrelated topics?
Why can't girls just enjoy a toy that was made for them if they liked it?
I would expect a toy made for girls to be mostly about girls and the movie likewise?
This episode is really a video clip about mental illness and an argument looking for a victim.
I love how she just called out Piers Morgan for distracting the public with frivolous arguments instead of speaking about what is more important and actually affects oriole’s lives. Now that I think about it. Never have I listened to piers Morgan and become informed about important matter instead it’s always been cheap entertainment of frivolous identity politics
Exactly
If I wanted to hear angry people shouting, I would visit my parents house. 🤦
Hahahaaaa!
I have a real question… who actually listens and agrees with piers and is seen as a good person (and not by their mothers, family or people they keep hostage)?
Conservative here: The Barbie movie is supposed to be how little girls play with Barbie- everything from having a million jobs to her extra arched feet to not walking down to her car to not taking a real shower to Barbie and Ken’s naïveté. Ken has ALWAYS been her sidekick. I didn’t even have official Ken dolls growing up because Ken is a sidekick.
Also, Ken is the one who goes on the adventure with Barbie. The fact that Ken gets to go on the adventure is huge.
Black men are still considered sidekick slaves! Even on this panel the Black man is totally left out by design! Barbie is as racist as she has ever been and she remains the icon of white supremacy! Any Black woman who buys white dolls for her daughter is a self-loathing FOOL!
Robin was a side kick, but was shown that he could be reliable, but imperfect at times. He learned to work together with batman to solve any issue.
However in Barbie, men are portrayed as unreliable, self serving rapists who treat women like objects( Like women dont do that too)
Its so sad that they could have done more to the movie, instead of all this victimhood trope.
@@KYOBI4178victimhood? c’mon more like exaggerated way to compare Barbieland and real world for humor value…It’s exaggerated and showing how naive Barbie was thinking everyone has good intentions like in her world.

@@KYOBI4178 it sounds like your issue isn’t with the Barbie movie but rather the Barbie franchise. Ken has always been a bit of an afterthought. He’s Barbie’s trophy boyfriend/husband.
Lol, imagine if the scenario you just mentioned was in the reverse.
Feminist would RIOT, and from having conversations, feminist are not mailable to understanding nuances like you are now when it does not involve women being front and center.
Nuance is only understood when it comes to men.
She is not Anti-Ken!!! She loves ken. You know that if you know what Barbie and Ken actually are

The movie could be pro women without being anti men and attacking men but they didn’t do that. They belittled men every chance they got.
poor femcel trying to normalize sexism against Men.
I’m a man and I loved this movie. I didn’t feel attacked at all, in fact, quite the opposite. Anyone with more than a few brain cells could see that the film had a lot to say when addressing men’s issues. There was a great message to be found for men through the story of Ken and his journey to self acceptance.
Because you are a simp white knight nick.
You are a male, not a man. You are the person in the Barbie Ken movie who worships the greatness of women
@@Mix_755 nah, I just don’t hate women, and it doesn’t make me uncomfortable when men aren’t always the focal point of every movie I watch.
So, men should be subservient to women, making their lives perfect while living in the background.

The fact the movie women should be happy being single, and their perfect world is being single is disturbing.

Opposing woke feminist propaganda is not equivalent to hating women mr white knight.
The Barbie toys have always been Barbie and her sisters. There have been several male characters introduced and cancelled over the years but none were popular enough to stay. Among the guys were Alan, Brad, Curtis, Todd, Steven, Tommy, Derek, Kurt, Ryan, Ricky, Scott and Kevin.
As a kid who played with Barbie dolls in the 70s, we threw Ken back in the storage bin to be “at work” and stole our brothers’ G.I. Joe figures to be the real men of the house.
Yup... our barbies were paired with gi joe.... Ken was always a weird asexual doll. He didn't look like a dad or husband. He was the weird neighbor lol
Preach!
@@goodolearkygal5746true. Ken is just a dumb male blonde. I think dumb people are lame.
The humour in every man being "just Ken" relies on an appreciation of irony. It's not a comment on men, it's a comment on a side-kick character in children's games.
It's such a wild coincidence that zero franchises aimed at boys ever dare to denegrate the female characters in those franchises out of irony. It only ever happens to men
@@ericb5328 That's a fair point. I suppose, though, that it is more socially acceptable to poke fun and laugh at men, because men are generally funnier than women.
@@ericb5328lterally because toys made for boys do not focus on romantic themes..?
Barbie is a stereotypical girl who likes makeup, fashion and has a boyfriend who happens to be Ken, no degradation here.
Most boys want to be super hereos while little girls want to be princess with a prince.
So why would they even include females in boy toys franchise unless she’s a super hero.
Also it could be that, it’s not expected for a lady to be single especially Barbie
@@sana.4.a This movie doesn't stop there, but a plot of a marxist struggle of the sexes. Which side deserves to be the plebs or emperors. Males are portrayed as bozos or wannabe tyrants.

@@DB742 Barbie franchise have always portrayed Ken as a character with not much deep development. He’s just Barbie’s boy.

I would not compare the Barbie movie which is a parody of the actual Barbie doll with other action movies which seriously tells the story about super heroes.
I think if they wanted to make Barbie live action it would be kid friendly, this one is PG-13 and made for the generation of girls who played w Barbie in the early 2000s

Well this is why I can't always agree with the 'right' side of politics. Not everything made is an attack on men or "girl power" concept. In the Barbie world Ken was always the "underdog" as it's Barbie"s world. Just don't watch it if you don't like it. It's not an attack on men it's just a movie mostly fiction.

If playing with barbies shapes your whole personality as well as your life and career choices I am sorry to inform you that the problem is not with the barbie doll.
Well, that is exactly the argument that the left wingers use when talking about the importance of making gender free dolls and games, films and cultural products.
Right! but in a society with low quality brains, it's easier to blame a doll for parents poor levels of education and personal decisions.
