My super-feminist wife wasn’t all that impressed by Barbie. My friend who was raised in western Kansas? She and her sisters sobbed through much of it. I think it was aimed at them, not folks who deeply consider these things all the time.
I enjoyed the speech, BUT we also watched the movie with our 20 year old son and he was not impressed. Infact it made for good dinner table discussion on what it means to be a man! As an Indian women, I have never felt emasuclated by the men in my life ever. I am sorry for those who have struggled but I am so sick of the generalization of women's feelings and putting men down in order to lift women up!
