If you’d told me five years ago that there would be a Barbie movie that somehow was not only just not a cash grab or nostalgia bait but also a genuinely amazing piece of cinema with an amazing message to boot I’d never believe you.

That, to me, is sort of what women are supposed to say because they’re emphasizing the idea that they’re not supposed to say it. I dunno. Women do experience difficult things, but doesn’t everyone? I wouldn’t choose to switch. I did just recently realize that men (the ones i asked) are rarely scared and that was kind of a shock to me.
My husband hasn’t seen the movie. Maybe I’ll put it on and see if my opinion changes with a rewatch.
Of course everyone faces difficulty, everyone faces expectations and trials. They’re not the same for everyone, though. And there are unique, and often much more challenging ones, for women.
I found it something I empathized greatly with, even if it didn’t describe my trials and tribulations exactly. Because it still mirrored them.
