I'm talking as someone who was so excited about getting a Barbie Movie and who is loving the revitalization of hyper femininity; y'all have to STOP shutting down constructive criticisms of Barbie when it's coming from feminist women. I can understand that the Barbie Movie has been a huge milestone for womanhood and feminism which makes it worth celebrating and that Barbie as a whole has always been subject to misogynistic backlash, but women and girls are 100% allowed to expect more from a capitalistic brand that exploits the patriarchy to sell us a manufactured feminist mascot.

I've always felt aggravated when people shot down valid and even personal criticisms from women against Barbie as if they're being anti-feminist or taking it as "ruining girls' fun" when clearly, not all girls are satisfied with Barbie and they deserve to be heard about it. I don't see what's feminist about expecting all girls and women to settle for the little Barbie provides us when we should always get to ask for more. Why are you taking the side of a predominantly male-lead corporation who packages feminism in a box and puts a price tag on it over real every day women who don't feel represented by Barbie and are calling out the lack of intersectionality or misuse of "reverse-misogyny" in the movie??
