Comment on Bill Maher Bashes ‘Barbie’ as a “Preachy, Man-Hating Zombie Lie”

  Your post took an entirely feminist issue and made it about men again.

  “Did feminism leave men behind” is something that only men would ponder about.

  “I wonder if women are ready” is another can of condescending mess. Women are put in this box of patriarchy BY MEN, so instead of taking away the box and recognizing that it shouldn’t be there in the first place, you ask if women are ready to come out of it. We’re not children that you put in a timeout corner.

  You ARE Ken. In a sanctuary for Barbies, you find some rhetoric to latch onto and try to make it about your plight too.

    The message of the film is that everyone is worse off due to patriarchy.

    Men need to learn that meeting halfway is not a loss.

    Women need to stand ground and also invite men into a changed world.

    You’re still trying to make every night a girls night.

    The film is about feminism reaching a state of maturity and your anger here is proving to us all that my concerns are on point.

      Are you also one of those “all lives matter” people? Women just can’t have this one thing to ourselves without you coming in mansplaining feminism to me eh?

      I did not know that I was not ready for feminism but you sure showed me. How can I ever repay you?

      You’re still trying to make every night a girls night.

      Frankly I’m okay with that right now, especially after talking to you.

      For fuck’s sake. The average man is so exhausting, and if you take this comment as “men hating” then so be it.

        I don’t understand why you need this to be a women only issue when clearly it has to do with all of society? Despite your angry tone I’m still m trying it understand you right?

        WRT mansplaining: did you actually watch the film? Because I’m just commenting on what was presented there. If the movie presented feminism as a women only issue then there would be no Ken arc, the film explicitly positions these issues as shared. It’s literally the point of the whole thing. Are you just flying off the handle assuming you know what the film is about without seeing it?

        IMO asserting that men cannot comment on or take part in feminism is the antithesis of the message of the film and also just bloody minded sexism.
