Faggot cultural studies "academic" thinks the Barbie movie has lessons for boys and men (archive.is)

Despite right-wing warnings to stay away, 40 percent of the opening weekend theatergoers to Barbie were men and boys.

The right doesn't have the kind of social power the left does. Even if the right wanted to organize a boycott it wouldn't be able to, and on the off chance it succeeded they would be told to fuck off anyway. The Bud Light situation is the exception that proves the rule. The reason so many males (I refuse to call those sorry fucks men) attended is because our sick society is filled to the brim with simps willing to degrade themselves for a whiff of pussy. If only they would realize that it doesn't work.

But the idea that feminism has many deeply insightful, constructive and hopeful things to say to men and their struggles presents a direct threat to the right.

I'd say it's the other way around. Men get red pilled when they realize that the feminist system that's been in place since before they were born has done nothing but hold them back. Men aren't going to stay on the feminist plantation if the right is offering them something better. Hence the attempts to destroy the right using every dirty trick in the book.

Since the 1990s, there has been an explosion of scholarship and writing about men’s lives that has been informed by intersectional feminist ideas about masculinities and power.

Yes, and it's all about demonizing the group they're "studying". The pattern is always the same: <ingroup> studies take it as a given that <outgroup> is bad, then a few decades later <outgroup> studies is invented to "prove" that <outgroup> is bad to justify their persecution.

Be fair, it might be over 50 percent male attendance if you stop pretending the trannies who went are women.

ken stands up for himself, freeing himself from servitude and becoming his own man.

I haven't watched it, but the movie sounds like it does have good lessons for boys.

Only if you take what they say at face value, which you shouldn't. When gender studies types like this faggot talk about men "freeing themselves" or "liberation" it's from "toxic masculinity", ie a refusal to submit to feminsm. Their whole narrative is based on the false idea that the right rigidly polices masculinity and persecutes anyone who deviates from the norms they set. It's grade A projection of course, but that's what they're talking about men "liberating" themselves from. Not the liberation from feminism that men sorely need.

It does have an IMPortant message for men and boys.

They hate you and want you enslaved, because they're unhappy with their own lives and blame you for their dissatisfaction with post-industrial society and its present.

Article is a toilet bowl full of CRT, queer theory, fourth-wave feminism and other post-modern social studies effluvium. If it can leak out of an academic's ass, it can most likely be found in this article.

Pink only became identified as a women’s color in the 1940s, when retailers and manufactures made it so. For centuries it was associated with men, as red was seen as the color of passion and aggression, a “masculine” color. Pink was the boys’ version.

Translation: Geez, I wonder why men don't want to be associated with the color 'pink', especially when it was historically associated with little boys. :')

One of the many ironies of Barbie‘s phenomenal commercial success is that the “private” market has created a “teachable moment” that has the power to reach tens of millions of people—including untold numbers of boys and men—with potentially subversive feminist ideas they would otherwise rarely encounter. According to a headline in Rolling Stone, “‘Barbie’ may be the most subversive blockbuster of the 21st century.”

Propaganda would have been the intended purpose.
