Currently women should be more concerned about their rights vis a vis trans activism and not men IMO..anyway I just am happy that Hollywood is making innovative cinema again..I’m so BORED of Marvel DC shit..like stop with the superhero supervillain stuff like now..
SPOILER ALERT FOR OTHERS
At the end of the movie, Barbie needed a vagina to be a real woman. 😆 Not sure it was intentional.
There are real trans people out there, who need all the support in the world. However, at the moment, trans activism seems like the new face of men's rights movement. A bunch of incels and some outright criminals pretending to be trans to mock and attack. And supposedly bright (bio) women are playing right along. Incredible!
