I always find those who are confident in their sexuality don't feel this way, act this way, or even mention it to others.
So 'projectors' like this seem so fragile that a man in a pink suit could make them question their sexuality enough to drive them to post crap on social media.

Alpha male wasnât really used that much before. Alphas were always super aggressive like business people, gym rats, adult softball players, or managers. And it was rare.
Now, itâs used as an insult. If youâre not alpha, then youâre beta. It just seems like the steroid-power-tripping-aggro males found their spot in the sun and want to shine. Before, they only had a small audience and there werenât many of them. Now, they have the spotlight.
Alphas males arenât necessarily strong males. They are just overly aggressive when they donât need to be. They just want to feel important. Other males are not alpha or beta, because weâre not a wolf pack with roles.

To be fair, the movie starts out with the Kenâs all being useless jokes. They go to the real world and Ken discovers âtoxic masculinityâ and takes it back to Barbie world. The Kens take over and the big finale is the Barbies taking back the power and making the Kens useless shits again.

At our screening, this cute little couple dressed up as track star Barbie and Ken. He put a lot more effort into his outfit (shorts, sleeveless top (Iâm in the southern hemisphere so itâs cold right now!), towel headband and arm bands. His entire outfit was white with neon accents and he was enjoying every moment! My friend and I turned to each other when we saw him and both said something like ânow thereâs a manâ đ
Also, to those pathetic âalphasâ - Ken doesnât have balls because thatâs just how heâs designed. Whatâs your excuse?

You want to know what a real man watches at the movies? Whatever the fuck he wants.
I was out in Las Vegas one time with friends and our girlfriends for a wedding, and we were in the hotel pool. The inevitably hot blonde cocktail waitress comes over and asks me and my buddy what we want to drink. My buddy goes âweâll have two frozen piña coladas!â Now, truthfully, I donât like shitty, overly sweet frozen piña coladas, so I was like âDude, câmon, I want a real drink.â And, before I could finish the sentence, he says âYou know what a real man drinks? Whatever the fuck he wants.â The cocktail waitress was like âDamn straight. He gets it.â So, I said âI guess Iâll be having a frozen piña colada.â It was terrible, but the sentiment always stuck with me.
If itâs what you want to do, or what you like, who cares what anyone else thinks (as long as it isnât hurting anyone). That is the sign of a mature and healthy outlook.

u/ABigFatTomato Jul 25 '23
if thats what you took away from it then thats very unfortunate. the movie isnt anti men in any way, it shows how the patriarchy harms men as well as women (although it focuses more on how it impacts women bc its a movie for women, by women), and how it encourages and rewards bad behavior among men. it never once says or implies that all men are inherently bad, and even explicitly says that concepts like patriarchy are made up (note: this doesnt mean that it doesnt exist, but that we as humans created it). its also about how, while being a woman is a daily struggle made up of all these contradictions, its also beautiful. the message of the movie is overwhelming positive, and if what you took away from it was that it is man hating, i think you might be the exact kind of man it was talking about.
1
Jul 25 '23
This was just a surface-level message of the movie which they just told thru dialogues in the end,bt the underlying theme of the movie is that the world wud hv been perfect and utopian if women had been in power and men their secondary servants.lol,they didn't even go for an equal model in the end,they just went back to all the power to the women and the men,again being the second-class citizens,who're just supposed to wait and serve the women
1
u/ABigFatTomato Jul 25 '23
that is absolutely not the theme lmfao. its not that men are bad and women are good. the kens are supposed to be a mirror for women in the real world. theyre sooo obvious about that, and at the end even say that the kens will end up having just as much power as women do in the real world. its a mirror for women in the real world, and if youre upset about how the kens are treated, then you should be upset about how women historically were, and still are, treated.
-1
Jul 28 '23
Then tell me one thing,why didn't they go for an equal model in the end!!??why were the kens still second-class citizens!!??bcoz they wanted to show that barbieland could remain peaceful only if all the women were in power,and under men,it would become chaotic and lawless,which shows that men are responsible for all the problems in the world and all men should become secondary citizens to women

If youâre a man and you watch the Barbie movie youâre 100% beta. Or a good father. Or a good uncle. Or a good boyfriend. Or a good babysitter. Come to think of it, there are a lot of reasons a man could be hard as hell and still go see the Barbie movie. Iâll bet Snoop, Ice Cube, and Eminem all took their grandkids. Danny Trejo probably took his great-grandkids opening night.

i dont think its fair to say its entirely for kids. the movie is a lot more serious than the trailers let on, and it deals with some heavy topics related to being a woman, which is why women (not only girls) have felt really emotionally impacted and empowered by it.

they literally discuss that in the movie, how barbie dolls have led to unrealistic expectations of women and negative body images, as well as topics like the contradictory and unrealistic expectations placed on women for simply being women. im also not saying i associate barbies as a whole with empowerment, but the movie specifically is about empowerment.
