//I saw Barbie last night and tonight I'm off to see TMNT.
For now I am going to try not to fall asleep and maybe do some writing.
#//I loved most of the barbie movie but the ending..... I have a lot of thoughts about#and I've been mansplained too twice now whilst trying to articulate those thoughts#and the irony is not lost on me that two men have tried to explain to me how Barbie has basically solved feminism given what happens in the#movie#like#I can't as a woman I can't#it's not enough I liked most of the movie#apparently I'm not allowed to be critical and have a nuanced reaction to these things and this is not the first time#nor will it be the last that I have these arguments about#not just representation but other things in film#it's not like I'm being incredibly nit picky#like omg they didn't have an autistic anxious barbie I wasn't represented lets cry#I had this same thing with elemental about people FAILING strong female characters in film
