when you walk face first into the literal point of the barbie movie’s reverse power dynamics theme, meant to show how ridiculous the patriarchy is and how it harms both men and women, and you STILL don’t understand how it’s a direct reflection of modern society and demonstrates how women have been fighting for decades, even centuries for their rights, finally climbing to a point where women can exist independently of men for the first time in history, only for our rights to be continually stripped, ignored, or denied as the 21st century progresses. Rights that men still have and hold without a shred of threat to them, mind you.

when you literally type with your own two thumbs, “see how it feels” and “ken showed them being on the opposite end sucks” and you cannot grasp the idea that what you witnessed in 114 minutes of cinema is what women have been living through for the last 174 years.

if you get angry over the idea of oppression and inequality continuing after the oppressed have expressed it’s harm ONLY if it’s a man who is depicted as lesser than, and you choose not to walk away directing that anger at dismantling a harmful and unrelenting patriarchy, and instead go online to shout at women about how unfair the fictional matriarchy was and how feminism will kill us all, then you are simply oil to the rusted gears of an autocratic system that cares no more about you than it cares about the women you shame for fighting for something better.
