My thoughts on the excellent #Barbie movie. 

Wow, Movie is even better than I'd hoped for. The side of stuff is even funnier when you've watched the Real World Kens like Ben Shapiro react in the comically predictable ways that we are familiar with. Or Tucker Carlson with his Glowing Testicles of Masucilinity.

One aspect of the real world that was not covered (because it doesn't all have to be about the menz) was the fact that boys also played with dolls, they were just called Action Figures. If it was typical in society for boys and girls to play with their dolls/action figures *together*, we might be in a different place.

After all, that's what we do in the real world as functional adults, right? Me and my Barbie built our dream house together, our car is one we chose together because it suited our needs.

The Real World Kens are never going to get it, and that's fine. But the big fella with a bushy beard sitting next to me, who was "dragged along by his missus" certainly got it. He gave a big soppy sigh at *that scene near the end* and I knew he was probably holding back the tears.

Also, as a Duolingo fan and a Birkenstock widower, I felt seen.
