1. La Sátira del Patriarcado: Más Allá de los Caballos.
La película es percibida como una crítica directa y, a veces, simplificada del patriarcado, presentándolo como un sistema absurdo y perjudicial tanto para hombres como para mujeres. Se destaca su capacidad para ridiculizar las estructuras de poder masculinas y la fragilidad que a menudo las sustenta.
- You know, the barbie movie's critique of patriarchy as infantile and insecure males trying to validate themselves by wielding power they're ill-equipped to handle is sure looking spot-on these days.
- Honestly, the barbie movie does a pretty good job of showing how patriarchy hurts both men and women in different ways.
- Rewatching barbie as a reminder of how deeply ridiculous and unserious the patriarchy is.
- My major issue with barbie was that it portrayed men (ken) as clueless in embracing patriarchy instead of showcasing what it really is: an embrace of patriarchy for control that is fueled by hatred and fear of empowered women. It was unfair to men: they’re not stupid, just evil.
2. La Revelación de Ken: "Cuando descubrí que no era sobre caballos".
La frase de Ken sobre su decepción al descubrir que el patriarcado no se trataba de caballos se convirtió en un punto central de la conversación. Simboliza una visión ingenua y superficial del poder, y se utiliza repetidamente para resumir la esencia cómica y crítica de la película.
- “when i found out the patriarchy wasn’t about horses, i just lost interest anyway.” ken (barbie, 2023).
- Wait.this is what ken was talking about in the barbie movie. When he says at first he thought patriarchy was about horses, then he learned the horses are more like man-extenders.
- It’s the manliest way to say you just watched barbie and learned patriarchy doesn’t involve horses.
- I pride myself in my ability to ignore popular culture so tonight, totally out of character, i watched the "barbie" movie. Two things: i'm trying to understand why the patriarchy is *not* about horses as it should be and, ryan gosling.
- To be honest, when i found out the patriarchy wasn't just about horses, i lost interest.
3. La Experiencia Femenina y la Disonancia Cognitiva.
El monólogo de America Ferrera sobre las contradicciones y presiones imposibles que enfrentan las mujeres es un elemento clave. Se destaca cómo la película da voz a la "disonancia cognitiva" necesaria para existir en una sociedad patriarcal, convirtiéndose en un punto de referencia educativo para una nueva generación.
- By giving voice to the cognitive dissonance required to be a woman under the patriarchy you rob it of its power the barbie movie.
- I think one of the things the barbie movie did really well was examine the cognitive dissonance women/femmes go through as we try to navigate the patriarchy, let alone what we go through when we try to disrupt or subvert it.
- Judging from my gender history class, it's interesting how the barbie movie has become a reference point for understanding the contradictions of the patriarchy for this generation. Students have repeatedly referred to america ferrera's speech -- "it's literally impossible to be a woman.".
- The climax of barbie is breaking the brains of the girls under the spell of patriarchy by pointing out that being a woman means suffering from contradictory demands.
4. Reacciones y Consecuencias en el Mundo Real.
El impacto de la película generó un amplio espectro de reacciones. Mientras algunos hombres se sintieron ofendidos o malinterpretaron el mensaje, otros reconocieron cómo el patriarcado también los afecta. Sin embargo, también existe la percepción de que la película pudo haber provocado una reacción violenta en lugar de un cambio positivo.
- If feels like the barbie movie backfired and instead of enlightening women to take power, it enraged the patriarchy and they took our rights instead.
- Why does it feel like cishet men collectively watched the barbie movie up until ken discovered patriarchy and built the mojo dojo casa house, said "that looks awesome," and turned the movie off?
- Nah because the fact that all it took was a fucking barbie movie for men to realize that patriarchy also affects them lowkey maybe highkey pisses me off. It’s like you are so brainwashed and caught up in your own privilege that you didn’t even notice our suffering?!
- Spouse randomly put on barbie and i'm thinking about the ways in which this movie felt delightful and meaningful just two years ago, and now it's all ken's patriarchy turned up to a gazillion and i hate everything.
