I can understand why some men got so angry at the Barbie movie, she undermines their whole worldview when she tells Ken “you are not the car that you drive, you are not the contents of your wallet” nope, that was Tyler Durden in Fight Club. No she says “you are not your girlfriend, you are not your house”. Both movies have the same message about toxic masculinity

AlexanderMars (alexandermars@mastodon.social)'s status on Saturday, 22-Jun-2024 09:38:35 JST AlexanderMars @BethanyBlack sorry for this ridiculous deep cut reply, but I finally got to watch the Barbie movie(my daughter gives zero fucks about anything that’s not dinosaur related) and wanted to say I’m so glad for your recommendation to watch. A far better film than than what you’d expect Hollywood to deliver, particularly about a doll.

Bethany Black (bethanyblack@mastodon.social)'s status on Saturday, 22-Jun-2024 09:38:36 JST Bethany Black @stavvers been thinking about it a lot and there are so many parallels, Project Mayhem is pretty much the same as the Barbies’ plan. I’m prepared to say if you liked Fight Club and didn’t like Barbie then you didn’t understand Fight Club
