    26:27 Yes! Ken’s whole reason for buying into the patriarchy nonsense was because he thought it would give him something he was actually interested in: horses. But instead, it just kept him trapped in a prescribed role that harmed him in a different way. I think the Barbie movie did a good job at showing how patriarchy also harms men, how it makes these grandiose promises but just ends up fostering different kinds of inequality and competition.
    He didn’t need patriarchal supremacy over the Barbies, he needed equal rights, the space to discover himself, and a damn pet horse.

    If he really did destroy those Barbies in "the most Oppenheimer fashion," he would be incredibly haunted and ashamed of his actions; he wouldn't laugh it off and act like it's some cool show of power, which is what the villains of the movie did. So not only did Benny-boy here miss the entire point of the Barbie movie, he also missed the entire point of Oppenheimer. The fact that a man with absolutely zero media literacy or capacity for the most basic critical thinking has been given this kind of platform is just embarrassing.

    As someone who has experienced having someone continue to flirt with me after I’ve made it clear that I don’t have feelings for them. I appreciate that they made Ken learn to be independent instead of continuing to chase after Barbie until she agrees to be with him. Also, I can’t help but wonder how Ben Shapiro feels about Legally Blonde. Like I can picture him watching the movie and then towards the end he’s like “but she was supposed to be stupid”. Because not only does he think very low of women, but he clearly does not understand character arcs. No wonder he failed as a screenwriter. Fun fact he’s a nepo baby and he still couldn’t make it as it screenwriter. That’s how bad he is.

      To that, I noticed that the movie also highlights the problem with men who think women and men cant be friends regarding Ken's side, but have to be girlfriends or sleep with every woman that is nice to them or else they complain about who women choose if its not them. They cant just be friends with women, and that is where Ken is. He had no role other than being Barbie's side male character friend but wanted to be more than that, while she didnt. Then he lacked any sense of himself and didnt consider how to just be friends with a woman. Some men cant take no for an answer or uphold limits to boundaries. Some women want to be friends if they're dating other men. That's fine but not to incels which Ken kind of is.
      Incels are also drawn to hyperpatriarchal fantasies because they think it will give them the power to force women to be with them if they dont have a right to say no or date men that arent them. Ken had to learn to not see it that way. First he chose hyper patriarchy thinking it gave men respect from women in the real world. Just like the boys who fall for Andrew Tate or listen to Fresh and Fit being told that. If you cant control a woman, you are not a man... which is wrong. Thats what I saw. Barbie had to let him down and not hurt his ego, but he didnt like that. So he wanted BarbieLand for himself for the Kens to force the women to give him power over them. Thus taking advantage of harsher gender roles he tried to implement against the Barbies.

    And the thing about the matriarchy in Barbieland is it isnt even as bad as the patriarchy in the real world.
    The matriarchy wasnt intentional, it was just based off of how little girls play with Barbies. This whole world is a reflection off of how the real girls play with their dolls. Each Barbie has a doll counterpart in the real world.
    If a little girl sees herself in a doll, that's the doll she's gonna put the most focus on. The Kens were literally built to be accessories to the Barbies. A little girl making her Barbie a scientist, president, a writer, is reflected from a real girl's play.
    The matriarchy in Barbieland was accidental, and the Kens were mostly in the background. Which sucks, that feels terrible; But with Kenland and the real world patriarchy, it's very purposeful. Where the Kens were forgotten, the Barbies were brainwashed and practically enslaved. The Kens took control and *still* centered their attention around the Barbies.
    And the reason the Kens didn't get full equality when Barbieland was restored and everyone gets a happy ending is because the real world doesn’t have that. You can't slap a happy ending on a world that's meant to parallel a world that doesn't get the same grace, that defeats the whole point.

    Ken was a secondary doll to Barbie. Barbie has and always will be a career gal that has her dream house and dream car. Ken doesn't have a dream house and car because men already had that irl. These dolls were meant to inspire women and show them they can be more, and these dolls have shown women's fashions and lifestyle changes throughout the eras. Ken did not. He was a supporting role as a doll, and to translate that to screen is true to the barbie legacy. Barbie don't need no mans. Barbie has everything she wants or desires because she's fuxking talented and strong and full of aspirations. Men didn't need a figure of empowerment because they've always been the ones in power. Barbies lifestyle and views aren't new but conservatives think this is outlandish. Please.

      EXACTLY. Barbie was created with the intent (in the 50s/60s) to show girls that they could be the main character, in movies and television and in life back then, they would show the female characters being just ‘the girlfriend’ or ‘the wife’, so they made Barbie and did a role reversal, they made Ken the himbo boyfriend who’s just an accessory, they made Barbie have teh dream house, they made her be the astronaut, the cool jobs, she was always supposed to be the main character.

    Just an additional couple of things about the gynecology part. I fully thought Barbie was going to a job interview so I thought it was a funny bait-and-switch when we found out she was going to see a gynecologist.
    Anyway, trans women go to the gynecologist too. Gynecologists do breast exams, which apply to trans women who have been on estrogen and developed breasts. Also, after bottom surgery, trans women can get checked regularly for cancer, since it's tested the same way as cervical cancer in people with cervixes.

Before T, I would get cut off by cis men, flirted with at work, been shamed about having periods, treated like an object, cat called, etc. Like they're never gonna know so how about u listen to ppl who have?
    Cis women treat me far better than cis men did before because there's far less of a hierarchy. Only thing I don't feel respected about is when I express emotions people act more awkward about it... barbie was very considerate of men's emotions while also highlighting how these harmful standards were caused by men.... literally men made standards for themselves that now harm them and others. Barbie is great it knows how to be critical while also understanding men's mental health struggles due to toxic masculinity.

    As a silver lining, the laughing in videos also acts as a comforting detail that makes me want to keep learning important political concepts from your channel, it reminds me that even amongst all the intense struggles we fight for intersectional feminism, they can't make us stop smiling and laughing for ourselves.
    One of my absolute favourite parts of this very intelligent and important movie, is that it addressed some heavy existentialism and bigotry, while simultaneously being a fantastic heartwarming comedy. They'd always crack a joke right after something super dark, and I'd process both the powerful idea and the enjoyment of the joke.

    Before I went my friend told me to write her a message as soon as I'm at home safe.
    But sure, Ben, you don't feel unsafe as a woman...

    "No one has ever entered or exited Barbieland before."
    My brother in Christ, the thing with the wall happens fairly late into the movie. A whole lot of people, both humans and citizens of Barbieland, have entered and exited Barbieland by that point. It is also mentioned multiple times that this sort of thing has also happened before, previous to the events of the movie. It's like you didn't even watch the movie or payed the least amount of attention.

    Literally any criticism of the barbie movie that starts with "this movie was inappropriate for kids" I immediately click off because. 1. The advertisement for this movie showed SOOOO many adult jokes (the "I'll beach you off" and the "do you guys ever think about dying?") that there is no way you could have missed it unless you were purposefully not paying attention to them and 2. ITS PG-13!!! it literally shows you the rating before the movie even starts! And honestly, I am of the opinion that it is 100% the parents' responsibility to research a movie before taking their kids to go see it. Ratings are there for a reason, if you ignore them that is YOUR fault, not the movies. As someone who used to teach kids there is nothing worse than a parent that blames media for their lack of parenting skills. Media is not meant to raise your children, that's YOUR job.

I definitely had more than one Barbie whose little plastic hand had a hole to push in a tiny plastic choking hazard peg that was meant to be a ring.

    In college I wrote a 10 page essay on the history of Barbie. She had her own career, house, car, etc. at a time where women couldn’t even have their own bank accounts or credits cards yet. She has ALWAYS been feminist, and from the 80s onward, diverse. Barbie has always been marketed as a feminist doll who has her own life.
    Also, I was a huge Barbie lover as a kid, and I can confirm, the Kens I had were always just…there. The Barbie’s had the main plots of my adventures and stories and the Kens were just along for the ride. When both of my Kens broke, I wasn’t too upset but if a Barbie broke I was devastated.

Transwomen, like Barbie, start to feel the effects of misogyny, and transmen, like Ken, are often taken aback by the respect and power suddenly thrust upon them. (Idk my interpretation as a transguy; obviously the film is about women and their lives in the end, but I think some trans people can see themselves reflected in Barbie and Ken)

      I haven't seen the barbie movie so idk all the things that happens but that's such an interesting POV! Like many ppl in these comments are saying, everyone van find something relatable in this. Cis men, trans men, trans women and cis women. The movie is about the patriarchy, and anyone affected by it can relate. And the ones that don't, are the ones benefiting from it and refusing to see their image reflected on the metaphorical mirror

    The whole "women seem to be doing okay" logic reminds me of the time Wonder Woman came out and they had that all-woman screening that some insecure men bought tickets for just to mess with them. Doesn't make sense why we can't just let girls have nice things without men (mind you who should've stopped this behavior by their late teens if not earlier) feeling the need to input themselves into the story. My dad's that way sometimes when a woman isn't conventional looking... like he flipped out over Sarah Polley wearing a suit to the Oscars, which makes me think there's something more going on (especially since I doubt he will ever see Women Talking).
    I'm also sad that Hari Nef being trans became a big talking point because for months I was so excited to have that little secret that a big summer film was going to have a trans woman in a prominent role. As dumb as it sounds, I loved her role because of how normal it was and not driven by "trans struggle stereotypes." Like, seeing her just get to have fun and fix up Ken was so wonderful and I want to live in a world where we get more representation like that.

    Barbie APOLOGIZES to Ken for mistreating him and taking him for granted, then impowers him yo be more than just his role, but to be HIMSELF. To Ben, this is Barbie failing to ever be nice to Ken and a bad ending for all the Kens. So telling- Ben knows he's never gonna take responsibility for atonement and growth, so it feels like an attack to see Barbie model the behavior the movie is advocating for.
    Also, the 'Um, you women wouldn't even HAVE the vote if we Men didn't GIVE it to you, you're welcome!' Dude, accusing women of being ungrateful for your gifting them rights, when they use those rights for their own betterment or just downright safety, is astonishing. Why did women not have rights, again? Oh, right. And how did they gain them? By FIGHTING for them, Ben- men didn't just get up on the right side of the bed one morning and go, 'oh, yeah, the women are probably missing out, we better tell them about this whole voting thing!'
    Also, we all knew Ben was going to melt down at the mere implication of a vagina, right? Particularly one belonging to an empowered woman? Any opportunity to forego all that exploration of Barbie's identity for the last two hours and falsely accuse the left of boiling gender down to genitals. Does Ben think uterus-havers have to stop having health screenings to join the LGBTQIA alliance, or else they get kicked out for transphobia?
    I personally think ending on Barbie's arrival at the Gyno's was brilliant. It says so much- '2 hours, and we didn't even get into the healthcare of it all!' 'Now that we got all that out of the way, we can get to the important things, like taking care of ourselves!' 'While we're warmed up about the topic of women's issues, let's talk about the importance of annual exams; you see, the cervix-' *roll credits*. 'You know what? Maybe the PG-13s in the audience can continue with this topic when they're ready.' Bet Ben was just disappointed that the movie didn't discuss female anatomy and that gender isn't tied to genitals- he wanted to accuse Barbie of grooming, and now he can't, boo hoo!

    As someone who played with Barbies until she was 13, girls don't care about the jobs or anything. Girls care about the intricate multi-season "reality show" with betrayal, death, sex, and crime. My Barbies were all over my Barbie dream house and I only had three Kens SOOOOO shit happened 👀👀

      I played until 14 and Ken was usually only used for reproduction and then criogenically frozen. I had 2 broken prince dolls (Snow White Prince and one other, I got them broken (no legs)) and those two were accepted into the community, but not Ken. Bc Ken isn’t meant to be in my women run world (I am enby)

      I knew someone had to have a reply like this! Barbies live in a world more drama-filled than a soap opera. If they also have pretty dresses that is a side benefit.

    No one's ever entered or exited Barbieland ever before? Ben, there is an entire storyline about a Barbie (Skipper) that escaped Barbieland on accident years ago. The men in charge KNOW ABOUT BARBIELAND AND HOW TO GET IN AND OUT.

    I think Ben Shapiro genuinely enjoyed the Barbie movie, thus why he’s having such a visceral reaction to it. Dudes probably terrified of himself right now, unable to comprehend why he enjoys such a “woke” movie
