"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Sounds ghastly
Paul Joseph Watson on the new Barbie movie. And, yes, it's another vehicle for woke feminism (although a silly, gaudy one).
Barbie used to be aspirational. Barbie let girls pretend to be anything they wanted, all while being exquisitely feminine.
No longer. It's not enough to encourage girls to dream big and try to make them real... nope, gotta smash that patriarchy and grind the stinky men into the dirt. Wimmingz don't need no stinkin' aspirations, because they're all of them already awesome, without exception! As such, the new Barbie film is just another salvo in the same tired barrage of bitter hatred from the media towards what used to be America.
I'm still laughing over the fact that the film makers first approached Amy Schumer to play Barbie. I'm not sure what producers are lighting with hundred dollar bills these days, but it ain't cigars.
The Wokiecrats must be tying themselves in knots these days. I can remember when the Barbie doll was excoriated by feminists for convincing young girls that nothing matters but their looks. Now they're trying to make Barbie an icon of feminism?
RebeccaH, Barbie could have been a feminist icon, had the feminists been smart... but she was an example of "having it all." She could be whatever the girls wanted, a doctor, lawyer, airline pilot, and she had glamorous outfits, a nice beach house, a Corvette and a Jeep (both pink, of course), all in her own name.
And Ken? He was always just an accessory. It was always "Barbie... and Ken (maybe, because he was always optional)." You didn't even need ken to have the cars and beach house, they were all in Barbie's name.
And the moron feminists, instead of noting and seizing on that, focused on her attractiveness instead. Never a word about how Barbie could always be whatever she wanted and have whatever she wanted, only endless sour gripes about he appearance. They hated he solely because she always looked good. Catty mean girls.
Guess it's true - feminism was always about making attractive women without talent ot skill feel better about themselves.

ReplyDeleteThey're using $100 bills to light $1,000 bills.
DeleteAt least they didn't cast Dylan Mulvaney, but I suppose they're saving that for the sequel.
ReplyDeleteHaw!
ReplyDeleteAs a child, I would sneak into my sister’s room, and swap clothing on her Ken and Barbie dolls.
ReplyDeleteI was avant-garde! Alas, there was no social media then, and thus I was never recognized.
