How are people seeing it early?
Because some cinemas show movies early? I saw the first Spider-Verse movie over a week before its release.
I'm in Australia so the 2pm showing was like 7 hours ago
It's fine by today's standards. No gay couples or anything. There's you know a barbie dancing in a wheelchair, they use the word patriarchy a bunch of times but in the end they dismantle barbie lands matriarchy and make a government with both men and women so they stop excluding the kens
>using the word patriarchy at all, let alone a bunch of times
that’s a big “oof” from me chief
>but in the end they dismantle barbie lands matriarchy and make a government with both men and women so they stop excluding the kens
B A S E D
As opposed to the real world, where they think women are still excluded.
the most powerful people in society are still rich and well-connected men. only the unsuccessful ones get shafted sweetie
Rich women have all the same advantages. Feminism is advantage for women, in all cases, even where women already have huge advantage, like criminal and family law, education, and access to resources. Feminists refuse men access to services built for women and fight against resources for men. You appear to be trying to describe an oligarchy or plutocracy.
>Rich women have all the same advantages.
the world is still being shaped by the jeff bozos, warren buffoonets, bill gAIDS and elon musks
Rich women have just as much influence. Modern women have access to (and get feminist advantages for pursuing) everything that men have access to, plus every historical benefit women had (which are many). The reverse is not true, feminists make sure their are programs for women that men aren't allowed access to.
I don‘t think that‘s true. A lot of shelters and hotlines for domestic abuse are build and run by feminists and a large portion (though probably not all) accept men. I can speak about germany where it was the ministry of family (run by feminist renate schmidt) that kickstarted a lot of the research into male victims. Here‘s a paper from them if you‘re interested: https://www.bmfsfj.de/resource/blob/84590/a3184b9f324b6ccc05bdfc83ac03951e/studie-gewalt-maenner-langfassung-data.pdf
Are there vindictive women on twitter and elsewhere that are spewing hate under the guide of feminism? Sure. But the same goes for men. How many men on /misc/ are letting out their anger under the guide of men‘s rights and conservatism?
I don‘t think your view of what a lot of if not mist feminists and feminists organisations think, is accurate. And if you get a lot of information from Cinemaphile, reddit and conservative outlets I wouldn‘t expect you to. These people are as likely to give feminists a fair shake as vice versa
You still havent even defended your definition of feminism.
I got my information first hand, thank you. Actually trying to get services from feminist run programs doesn't work, I've tried. I've also called RIANN, what a shitshow that was. A huge advantage women have is that everyone assumes they're basically good and deserving of assistance. Feminism spends so much time demonizing men and framing men's desires and behaviors in the worst light possible that feminism is now the #1 obstacle to men being treated fairly.
I‘m sorry for your experiences, though that‘s probably no consolation. From what I hear women‘s shelters aren‘t great even for women. There is a lot of work to do but frankly feminists seem to be doing a lot of it
Feminists are making it worse for men, just as you are. There are cultural issues in play, and technology has changed society radically in the last 100 years. Many things have to change for men and women, that's ok. Feminism claims to be for equal treatment, in practice it only advocates for women. When #metoo created defacto guilt for accused men, feminists had a party. When US college title IX kangaroo courts were setup so accused men couldn't defend themselves, you had another party. Ditto submitting the "violence against wonen" act that specifically refused services to men. How about one law that is fair and just instead of treating men differently? Shocking, I know. If you want feminism to be seen in a better light, you are going to have to start making it better. Right now is pure misandry, and unwilling to look at itself honestly.
... You just excused feminism on the basis that the grapes men can't have are sour? Frick off, you psychopath.
I didn‘t defend abuse shelters. In fact I critiqued the practices of domestic abuse shelters as being insufficient in general. the sad truth though, is that most of these shelters, lackluster as they may be, wouldn‘t exists without feminists.
You cited the shelters as inadequate and sidestepped that inadequate is better than getting turned away entirely. Feminist selective empathy in action.
Here is a simple way of thinking about it.
You know what an environmentalist is right?
And a radical environmentalist is a more extreme version of an environmentalist.
And you know what a feminist is. And a radical feminist is a more extreme version of a feminist.
So the question is, do radical femists care about the well being of men and equality? If they don't (spoiler they dont), then why do you think feminism is actually about equality when the people who take its ideology to its conclusions end up not caring about equality?
There are people on /misc/ that say they voted for trump because he‘s racist and is going to kick out all the mexicans. Is that the logical conclusion of conservatism? I don‘t think so. I don‘t think judging a group by it‘s most radical members is in any way fair or productive. There are people that call themselves radical feminists that are very actively anti trans, despite that position being in direct opposition to most mainstream feminists. Is it fair to call feminists anti trans because some of them are even if they themselves fight against that? No. That is as unfair as saying all conservatives are nazis because some holocaust deniers voted for trump
Why are you equating random people on pol with an actual ideological group that has books and college courses on it?
It isn't making assumptions about a group based on the most extreme individuals, it's drawing a conclusion about an ideology based on those who embrace it the most.
Because you guys didn‘t bother citing any of the supposedly mainstream feminist academia that hates and vilifies all men. The impression I got is that most of that stuff was screenshots of headlines and twitter posts you saw somewhere. Which I consider to be to feminism what pol is to conservatism.
So you made a bunch of assumptions and can't come up with a logical counter-argument. You really are a woman, huh.
feminists can only be anti trans, becasue trans aren't women
>no gay couples
>but a transsexual Barbie
Yeah, nothing woke going on
The message sounds based, but the problem with the comparison being "in real life men run it like you do Barbie, you both need to change" isn't nuanced enough. It's great, but it misses the nuance of why men are in certain positions more often, or why they have made more money even after society's tried to even the playing field for decades, or why we spread our legs (so our balls don't suffer the fricking oven that is a set of closed legs, and ruin our sperm count -- we let off a bunch of external heat, as opposed to women who have higher internal heat, so you actual dorks have no clue how hot balls truly get). Greta's obviously trying to break free from the twitter-feminist epistemic bubble, and for that I'll watch. Plus Ken's literally me so I sorta have to.
Gerwig isn’t trying to break free from anything. She described the Barbie world as an impossible fantasy opposite of the real world, meaning that the real life world is 100% purely patriarchal. Having the Barbie world be a reversed mirror serves to underscore her Twitter worldview.

How propaganda-ish is it? Is it suitable for my baby sis who likes Barbie?
Although actually I don't know if it's appropriate for a young kid, more like tweens probably 12+. I think most of the humour and dialogue would go over a kids head. They use the word vegana once m, penis once, and the word gynaecologist once
>nd the word gynaecologist once
That's too much
>gynaecologist
Jesus Mattel that's a bit much
Frick right off. Mean spirited feminist drivel. You think the real world is a patriarchy?
Yes it unironically is
And what magic power did your patriarchy give you? All I got was a list of burdens for being a man. Enjoy your man hating trash.
Don't pretend you have a family that relies on you
Two grumpy teens. My ex is in prison, she made kiddie porn with our daughter after her amazing divorce plan made sure I couldn't protect my own kids.

You need to have a nice day
That‘s literally the point of the movie. Patriarchy doesn‘t mean all men are super powerful. In fact the opposite, men are some of the worst victims of patriarchy
That's not how it is used in the movie, and you know that. Patriarchy is a scam to extract resources from men and excuse women's bad behavior.
That‘s exactly how it is used in the movie. There are several scene where someone tells ken that living in a patriarchy makes it harder for him to get a good job. And the movie is very clear that patriarchy sets a bunch of expectations for men they don‘t actually wanna follow
>after I learned it wasn‘t about horses I kinda lost interest already
And what do you think the song I am Ken is about. It‘s literally about how men are taken for granted in a patriarchy and need to accomplish things to get any sort of respect.
>I‘m just Ken and I‘m enough
Is a direct refutation of that standard
You still have haven't provided a single advantage your patriarchy provides men. The only reason it's used in the movie is to insist that patriarchy exists.
You are attributing quotes to me that I didn't say. That must be your patriarchal superpower.
The quotes are from the movie, that you apparently haven‘t seen. And that‘s exactly the point I and the movie and most feminists that aren‘t on twitter try to make. Patriarchy doesn‘t mean most men get any advantage from it. In fact only a handful of men are in charge and exploit the rest like they do women
Let me get this straight... Patriarchy that doesn't benefit men is the reason why men have to provide advantages to women? What?
You can't provide even one advantage.
Dude, this is a non-disprovable hypothesis. Feminism can't make an accurate prediction or be tested in any way. It's an article of faith, and being used as such.
Right now men are hurting, and right now you feminists are specifically making it worse. You keep finding new burdens for men so that women can have more advantages.
What do you mean by provide advantage for women? I don‘t think i understand what you‘re asking for.
And why do I need to provide an advantage that men get through patriarchy? The point is that they don‘t get an advantage through it.
Yes men are hurting, and a big part of the reason is patriarchy. The point of feminism (as I and pretty much every single person I ever talked to understands the concept (I can‘t comment on how twitter sees it)) is to uplift both men and women from unfair systems, but to do so on equitable terms.
Feminism is the the reason men are hurting, and you are enabling it. Feminists insisted women get ever advantage but none of the responsibility. You just keep talking in circles.
It‘s kinda telling that you aren‘t engaging with the questions at all.
Feminism isn‘t the reason men are hurting. In fact feminism has done a great deal for me. It‘s gotten me paid paternal leave, it removed the draft, has build domestic abuse hotlines for men, has ensured that men can even fall under the legal definition of victim of sexual assault. And beyond that feminism has done a great deal to break restrictive gender norms of what I have to do as a man to be accepted as a man. it has steadily fought for men to be able to express themselves emotionally. And it has made women more comfortable approaching me romantically. In fact I have a hard time thinking of a problem that feminism has caused me
kek this is an actual WB shill that thinks Cinemaphile and reddit are interchangeable. This is not how people talk here. Lurk moar before you shill your trash here.

I assume he's from somewhere besides the US. In the US selective service is written into law for men's vote, women got it for free. Feminism in a nutshell, men are expected to pay so women can have a free ride.
>can even fall under the legal definition of victim of sexual assault
Interesting word choice. Feminists specifically fight against applying the term rape when women doing it to men.
The national womens organisations was a major lobbying group fighting for the criminalization of sexual assault against men, because for a time men didn‘t fall under the protection of sexual assault legislation. I see boulevard press downplay men as victims of assault. Is it really feminism that‘s behind that?
N.O.W. does no such thing. They do fight against custody reform in every state where it comes up. Every time.
https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.7312/cari13424
This book examines the impact feminists organisations had on rape reform. It was a oretty big one. Might be wrong about the n.w.o.‘s involvement. Couldn‘t find a source for that, maybe I misremembered the name (they don‘t have particularly creative naming conventions)
Now go read about what May Koss actually did, and come back and apologize to us. Excluding male victims is vitally important to feminists, just as preventing men from getting sympathy is.
What does one women have to do with what the bulk of feminist organisations did and are doing. If you require me to prove that no feminist ever did anything wrong I‘m glad to concede right now. But I‘m actually interested what did she do wrong?
Just fricking read up on it. Not only are feminists still excluding men, but their still pushing for more. Men charged for equal crimes get %60 harsher sentences for the same crime, but feminists are still focused on lowering penalties for women. In England they are trying to have women's prisons removed entirely. That's feminism, help for women without concern for men.
It seems like you‘re quoting headlines at me you someone else screenshot. I actually gave you a book to read up on and explained a case to you I found interesting. We‘re having a conversation, i want to share information back and forth
If you want to see how feminism actually works, see what NOW did to Karen DeCrow and Warren Farrell. Feminists that actually advocate for men get kicked out with monstrous glee.
>unironically believes in the dictionary definition of feminism for NPCs
frick me its not often i see someone this moronic and gullible on the chans who isn't a flat earther.
>The point is that they don‘t get an advantage through it.
So since the lives of men are getting worse, would this imply that we're more patriarchal now than before the male suicide rate went through the roof?
>The point of feminism (as I and pretty much every single person I ever talked to understands the concept
Holy shit you are such a ridiculous clown it isn’t funny
You‘re right. Twitter is the only place that matters
Feminism is about the transfer of wealth from men to single women and anything else is preachy, self-serving bullshit
>Yes men are hurting, and a big part of the reason is patriarchy.
>Actually patriarchy is the reason why your wife can divorce you and get half of what you own and take your kids and why all of society is built around coddling fat moron women.
Woah
Warner Bros intern I recommend you take your shit to reddit.
Eat the goyslop. Stop expecting better, WE CAN'T DO ANY BETTER.
Ok in all seriousness you have to commit suicide it’s the only way you’ll ever make a positive contribution to the world
That's not a patriarchy you stupid frick. A patriarchal society is one in which men have ownership over their families and full rights as patriarchs. Modern society has no trace of this whatsoever. Richest man in the world was divorced and his wife got a huge portion of his wealth. No one is safe. No man owns his own family, he's a sperm donor that's expected to also earn enough money to support them. His family can throw him away and turn to Daddy Government for support. We do not live in a patriarchal society and we haven't for a long time. We live in a society dominated by the petty moralizing of fat women and sclerotic little "priests," a society in which no man has true power of his own children. Complete domination by the faceless leviathan.
>And what do you think the song I am Ken is about. It‘s literally about how men are taken for granted in a patriarchy and need to accomplish things to get any sort of respect.
Ken even CAN do a lot, can't he? He works out, he plays the guitar, yet his recognition for it is zero and he gets frustrated being simply an accessoire for Barbie.
It's called "infantilization".
>"My job, it's beach."
>"Right. And what a good job you do at beach."
It's real easy to relate this to real life. This is how we treat kids, and very often women.
Women infantilize themselves if they think it gets them something.
Cool whataboutism, but so do children, because other people keep them them what they want when they do it. Just don't infantilize people in general, not even kids to be honest. A kid'll start growing up properly when you treat them like a real person.
>keep them them
give them*
It's funny how trampling over a man sharing his passions is seen as a "win" by the Barbies. Westoid women actually think like this and wonder why their men want nothing to do with the,.
I think you're dutifully hacking away to get to the movie's message.
The movie was pretty basic lukewarm feminism with the subtext that everything women do is within the context of what men allow anyway (which is just simple fact and patriarchy isn't the big evil everyone thinks it is)
"What men allow"? I think you are conflating that with "what men reward".
If men decided tomorrow to actually oppress women there isn't a single thing any of them can do about it. They know this too deep down and it makes them seethe.
So even though I haven't done anything to oppress women, I'm "the patriarchy" because it's hypothetically possible that I could. Awesome, thanks feminism!
"He's great! Except for the things that need to change!". After he's been tamed: "He's just not exciting anymore."
That's not a patriarchy then. I could say that blacks control the world because some black people have power.
Patriarchy is not defined by average men getting any advantages out of it. That might be the implied meaning for some people but that‘s plain inaccurate. For the most parts it is defined by the people in charge of setting rules and norms being men. Which to a lesser extend is still the case.
Then you could define anything as having control. If your definition of "group x has control" is that "specific members of x have control" then even conspiracies become true because you have defined control by "ramdom x characteristic". Blacks have control, israelites have control, women have control, mexicans have control, arabs have control, the CCP has control. Its a pick your flavor has control at that point. You cannot say "x group has control" and then when asked then why doesn't person from x have control say "oh i meant only the people that are favorable to my argument"
Patriarchy doesn‘t mean rule of men. It means rule of father. The name stems from early human civilisations developing from clan structures. Feudalism is very clearly patriarchal in structure but still 98% of men were in a destitute position. Though in the individual family unit they were still in charge
Again, you define control by "x characteristic". Now you are walking back and even in bringing in feudalism into the point. Your point was the world is a patriarchy and now you are seemingly just trying to spout histrionical etymology. You dont even have a clear definition, when asked about control you say "i didn't mean those people", so seemingly patriarchy is a characteristic favorable to your argument possessed by people people favorable to your argument.
So i don‘t know whetehr I‘ m understanding you correctly but the point i was trying to make was: patriarchy doesn‘t mean men in general have power. It means that the people with power are predominantly men. (I believe it‘s hard to argue that this is still the case to some extend). It means the rules and social norms are being written by men (which again is the case for most historic rules and norms. And is still true to some extend even for legislation written today). It doesn‘t mean that those norms have to be (or are even particularly likely) to benefit the average joe schmoe man.
And the problem with that definition is you can make it so it fits almost anyone. You can say we live in age of kings dominated by kings because historically kings had power, you can say we live in the age of blacks because they dominate so much of popular culture, you can say we live in a world controlled by the CCP because they work towards gaining influence, you say we live in a world dominated by McDonalds because they are such a large corporation have so much influence. Under your definition of patriarchy we can take that logic and therefore say the people with power are almost any group.
The laws are written by people that generally have to be re-elected. In the US giving women freebee benefits is a time honored way to get votes for both parties. You keep trying to argue that there is some magical male-ness to contemporary society so you can keep punching down at men. Dude, you can stop. I'm a full time single dad of two kids, I got torn to shit for everything my ex did and turned away from everywhere I looked for help by people just like you. My job is wildly biased toward women. My kid's school system is wildly biased toward girls (you should hear elementsry teachers laughing about getting boys on focus meds, it's insane). My son has been turned away from many opportunities for having a dick, my daughter has never been turned away from anything. I get no magic advantages, I get no breaks, I'm still standing despite what feminists throw at me, but just barely and now I'm telling to you to do better. stop getting your panties in a knot and listen. Stop punching down.
>And what magic power did your patriarchy give you? All I got was a list of burdens for being a man.
Should have worked harder at being successful then. Greta Gerwig did.
It's such a shame the patriarchy never let her make a movie.
You're either a troll or a moron. In both cases you should shut up
pee pee poo poo you're obviously moronic and Black person brained
Be honest - when was the last time you got laid?
Please tell me that you don‘t form your political believes on what you think will get you laid
You cannot claim you understand women or womens issues if you dont even understand how to sleep with them.
Someone who successfully interacts with humans regularly (ex: a good salesman, or a player, etc.) knows far more about the human condition and thus has much more authority to comment on it then someone who learns this stuff from god forbid twitter or academia
Based on your answer it sounds like you are a male feminist sexless chump. Which is good to know because it invalidates any opinion you have.
Are you doing „have sex“ unironically?
it was never ironic, virgin
Your ability to successfully attract a mate is the most important way one can value themselves as a man or woman. It is our ability to fulfill our evolutionary purpose, and encompasses everything about who we are (how much money we have, how fit and healthy we are, how respected we are by our peers, our social skills, etc.). If you are unable to do this then it means you are an unsuccessful human and by extension an unsuccessful man. The reason you are a male feminist is not because you believe in that ideology, but because you believe it to be your best strategy to achieve the goal to mate and procreate. Given your comments that strategy has clearly failed.
Stop putting women and their issues on a pedestal, start working on yourself, and one day you will look back and laugh at how big of a loser you once were. Goodluck brother.
this guy is probably a nofap
He just needs to stay pure for a few more days and he'll get his feminist no-fap magic powers. We're not sure why he keeps posting troony porn to /b .
>We're not sure why he keeps posting troony porn to /b .
Yeah, that remains a mystery
You're an idiot if procreation is end all be all for humans. Why isn't Africa the most successful continent on Earth? Humans have roles in society that greatly benefit it without them procreating. You are the one putting women on a pedestal here you israelite.
attracting a mate isn't the same as procreation.
rapists procreate without attracting a pair-bonded mate all the time, that's where africa's relevance comes in.
So you think we live in asystem that is set up to exclusively benefit men, yet men are 90% of suicides, 75% of homeless, 80% workplace death etc.. Found the cringe moron.
Those are rookie numbers. Feminists are gonna get those numbers up, UP, UP!
Right now? Kind of. Surely not like back then. But still
Back when? WTF are you talking about? Is context some patriarchal sin you refuse to engage in?
Yea the message of barbie is dated and boring, if Patriarchy was still a problem in the "real world" they woudn't have been able to do this movie in the first place, that is the definiton of "preachy"
The definition of patriarchy is that you aren‘t allowed to make movies critical of the patriarchy?
The patriarchy wouldn't allow it.
>Yea the message of barbie is dated and boring
Mattel should make a categorically separate live-action Barbie with new director, writer and star, that is a PG comedy with similarly faithful aesthetics and watch it be embraced and more successful.
There should be a Barbie for ironic liberal Wesleyan snobs who've had my-second-abortion-sadface-wine mixers and another for the toyetic audience and their moms who want to watch Barbie and Ken chill by the pool and giggle at doppelgangers of Jonah and his fat vegetable of a sister.
>I enjoyed it
Irrelevant.
You wasted your money and equality isn't feasible because men are more talented than women at everything
as can be seen on Cinemaphile
Im going to see it in a few hours. I booked my ticket last week. Checked yesterday and the whole cinema was booked. I regret not buying tickets for either side of me.
The Barbie movie touched me to my core. I have never felt so understood or valid as a woman.
This abomination has tainted spanish social media for 10 years now. About time he becomes an international meme and finally an heros itself
I knew it woudn't be that terrible, Greta Gerwig made Lady Bird after all but still won't watch
Lady Bird was mediocre at best.
>The overall message at the end is one of equality and posits that a society run entirely by women would also be bad
It's a common feminist tactic. They insist that they're after equality, when their view of equality still involves special treatment for women.
Women don't want to to be respected and make love in the dark with their devoted provider. What women want is to be fricked raw by an Adonis they barely know who makes them squirt everywhere and frick them until they can barely walk.
Women want the convulsive orgasm where they lose consciousness to the point that they roll their eyes and lose their social self, getting in touch for the first time their true self, ie the sheer prostitutedom. You think they will get that by looking into the eyes of their generic subservient beta appliance fricking them in the missionary position?
Think again.
Everything you see in porn is the truth about women. And that's why you hate it.
Of course but people seem to think women don't settle down.
switch the genders around and atleast 50% of men would openly want that
>if men could have moronation-inducing shaking orgasms, they'd want them
wow, how many years of research did it take to reach that conclusion, professor
Yeah orgasms are barely more pleasurable than a sneeze for me. Although mostly that’s due to my dick being butchered by the k i k e rat doctors who circumcised me since my moronic butthole parents let them do it. I have barely any sensitivity in my dick except for one tiny hard-to-hit spot. I’m a kissless virgin but even if I were to have sex, I might not be able to even feel pleasure or orgasm through veganal penetration.
why do i need a movie to tell me a society run by women would be bad?
Women are weak. israelites are weak. Why they need propaganda and white knights called police to protect them.
I have called a domestic hotline for men. Would you care to guess what happened?
Feminism has broken exactly zero male social expectations. Feminists demonize men and male sexuality to justify putting additional burdens on men. Feminists have lots of opinions on what men owe society but refuses to put any burdens at all on women.
Equality of Swedes is also bad though
All women do is gaslight and lie.
I have to gather my thoughts and stew on the movie but ryan gosling is literally me and I wish for a kendomland society
With horses
He deserved better
I am never going to watch Barbie nor am I ever going to watch Oppenheimer. That is all.
k thx4update
This. Same
The patriarchy isn't real for in order there to be a patriarchy there must exist a possibility of a countering force, the 'matriarchy'. This implies that women can be considered people, which, they are not. Women are objects and objects cannot form a societal power, there cannot exist a matriarchy and by extension a 'patriarchy' is the default go-to meaningless buzzword. It simply translates to: "waa waa waa I don't get what I want".
>people want to watch it because they think it will just be a good clean movie that's fun, no real world problems or drama
Are you a girl or a homosexual or troony?
Real talk, if this is the type of conversations that dominate after the movie comes out, i dont see it having good legs.
Jesus will you frick off. I'm not watching your movie.
Eat your goyslop, incel.
how are we still having these same dumb feminism arguments ten years later

its called marketing. astroturf has been a standard part of marketing for about a decade now.
its true, they're even paying Cinemaphile mods to market this shit. see
Because it seems to satirise and pay tribute to the brand at the same time. I couldn't sit through a "true" Barbie movie, but this intrigues me.
So it's meta psotmodern insincere shit?
And it makes you intrigued...
Nah, I'd watch some non woke comedy about a strightforward big titted stacy having some stupid adventure with bodybuilder himbo ken, maybe, but not this
