#Like!!! No fucking wonder the Kens latched on to patriarchy!!! They were the oppressed class in a misandrist matriarchy!!! They had no jobs!

The more I think about the Barbie movie the more it frustrates me in it's narrative and the thematic inconsistencies
#Seriously#It's so fucking.....false feminist so much of the time#It's so fucking “women = good men = bad”#It's just “patriarchy = men = bad”#And it pisses me off because there's a few points where there are interesting parallels you can see with Ken's experiences#And the experiences of women in the sense of being oppressed and ignored by the ruling class!!!#Like!!! No fucking wonder the Kens latched on to patriarchy!!! They were the oppressed class in a misandrist matriarchy!!! They had no jobs!#No houses!! No voice in how things were run!!! They were just decoration!!!#But instead of that being acknowledged it's just painted as “the Kens are in power now and that's bad bc men”#The song they all fixated on? Push? After a quick Google search it's found that the song (though worded weirdly so it's a bit unclear)#It's about the singer being emotionally abused/neglected by his gf but still begging her to stay with him bc he wants to make it work#The Kens all fixated on that song and it could have pretty easily been hinted at that they were trying to communicate how they felt#For so so long before they instated their patriarchy. How they felt so ignored and unseen by the Barbies but still loved them#And wanted to be with them. It could have been acknowledged that they were trying to communicate their feelings via the proxy of the song!!!#But instead it's just played off as “ugh they're obsessed with a stupid song we need to pretend to care so we can use it against them”#The type of “feminism” in the movie is just “down with men” I fucking swear and it's not even necessarily consistent in THAT#It's so fucking frustrating that shit is just going to set everything back just fucking stooooooop#There's also the joke at the beginning of Barbie being called a fascist but then later in the movie she desperately wants to set barbieland#Back to how it was before in an almost “good ol days” sense and that's pretty fucking classic fascism there
