The Based and Hilarious Reason Gen Z Bros Are Flocking to see the New Barbie Flick
PJ Media ^ | 07/24/2023 | Athena Thorne

It’s hilarious to see woke Millennials praising Barbie as a feminist icon. For the entirety of my Gen X lifespan, feminists have hated Barbie with the burning intensity of a thousand suns. Her figure was unrealistic! Mattel’s attempts to make her a career woman were patronizing! She was too blond and pretty!

But now, all of sudden, Barbie is a feminist icon. The new “Barbie” movie is a stylized fantasy in which the patriarchy is alive and well, and Barbie must smash it by ditching her childish dream world and embracing the feminist ideal lifestyle: spinsterhood.

We’ve reached the point where it’s no longer possible to take the Woke seriously. They’ve gone so far around the bend that their gibberish has transcended parody and reached the inconceivable level. “They’ve got to be kidding,” anyone who still has a shred of the ability to think analytically says. “They can’t possibly believe that. It’s got to be a joke.”

But while Millennials are the children of the Boomer hippies, Gen Z was raised by Gen X, so naturally they’re turning out to be a pretty canny crew. They’ve looked at the garbage preached by their elders, the thoroughly brainwashed Millennials, and realized, Oh, my good Lord, they really do believe that. And to their credit, they point and laugh.

The young men of Gen Z had an especially tough time as they came of age. They’re the boys who were told they were “toxic” and “the future was female.” They watched mutely as girls were handed all the honors and awards at school. Their Boy Scout troops were opened up to girls, ending the last boys-only bastion in the country, even as girls-only spaces were praised, funded, and expanded.

Are all the males gay? That pic sure implies it. What is with the tight short shorts ball huggers?

Apparently, and “I want to beach you off” is a repeatedly stated “joke” between the Kens. Check out Ben Shapiro’s 40 minute review of this woke train wreck

"Based and Hilarious" - yeah, whatever. Any "Gen Z Bros" who are willingly going to see a movie based on Barbie dolls should really take a long look at themselves and where their lives went wrong.

I wouldn’t be surprised if all the “men” were of the alphabet variety.

Interesting but I'm still not watching it.
Barbies and Kens alike are under the impression that their matriarchal utopia is a mirror of the real world; surely, decades of playing with highly accomplished dolls must have overcome whatever biases existed in darker pre-Mattel times. But when when Barbie and Ken make their way to Los Angeles in an attempt to track down the source of a disturbance in Barbieland’s perpetual bliss, they find themselves in a place that’s far less progressive, and far less pink, than their own. Barbie gets catcalled on the street and discovers that the company marketing her girl-power brand is run by an all-male board. But Ken discovers something different: a world where men hold power, where they are noticed and admired—a place where men matter.

Ken is the closest thing Barbie has to a villain, unless you count patriarchy itself. Upon returning to Barbieland, he and the other Kens (others Ken?) take control in a bloodless coup, and by the time Barbie makes her way back, she’s been literally displaced. Her dream home is now Ken’s Mojo Dojo Casa House, and the Barbies who once ruled the world wear frilly maid outfits and serve cocktails.

I expect there will be a lot of dates where the gal wants to see the move and the guy just wants to see Margot. Not that I would, as I’m a geezer, but Margot Robbie is very much to my taste and a pretty good comedienne, if I were 40 or 50 years younger and a female of my interest wanted to see it, I wouldn’t object too strenuously.

But then I could not possibly care at all about the political, social, moral, or any other agenda of any entertainment or entertainer, be it an actor or a musician; life’s too short to give a damn.

“But while Millennials are the children of the Boomer hippies, Gen Z was raised by Gen X,..”

I think he has this mixed up.
Wasn’t X after the boomers, then the Mils and now Z?

I’m really hoping that The Wife and I don’t have to take our great-nieces to this movie.
