    When I found out the patriarchy wasn’t about horses, I lost interest.

      It’s like when you talk to a small business owner. They’ll talk about how the banks and big companies screw them left and right, but they’ll also tell you that they think they’ll end up Bill Gates. Same delusion

        Heads up, the message you’re replying to was a joke from the Barbie movie.

          The amount of people who didn’t understand the whole thing about ken in that movie was scary.

            No shit! I wanted to cry for him. I GOT him.

            And my fiancé did weep a little during “the speech”.

            That movie hit hard. I’d love a man version of that speech, but it would have been wildly out-of-place, and I wouldn’t have wanted America Ferrera’s rant to have been watered down by a “both sides” thing.

            “What are your thoughts on the “Barbie” movie?”, would be a great dating site question for any of us. Weed out the assholes in a hurry.

              I felt it applied to men in a lot of ways still. Sure, a lot of details, I had to adjust in my head, but I didn’t feel like I need a man version to get it. There were some woman specific things in there and a whole lot of human things.
