Barbie’s White Feminism Problem
<p>One of the major themes in the movie highlights how difficult it is being a woman. As a cisgender Pakistani Muslim man, I know I’ll never be able to understand what those experiences are like. I appreciated the movie for engaging with these topics and creating opportunities for people to discuss and reflect on its overall message about how damaging patriarchy is. The scenes that talk about the double standards and challenges that women experience created conversations about sexism and misogyny, including painful ones about internalized misogyny. It reminded me of times at a previous workplace when a couple of women co-workers would ask me if I was concerned about having a daughter because “girls are harder to raise” than boys. This was followed by questions about what rules I would establish if my daughter wanted to date, yet this question was not asked of any of the people in the room who had sons.</p>
