It wasn't anti men, but it was highly flawed in it's efforts to portray women as deeply oppressed in todays society. It misrepresented where women actually stand today just to get pats on the back and sympathy points. Even going so far as to villainize the Mattel board as anti-women, when in fact the Mattel board is female majority. So no, the attack wasn't directed at men, but the highly prevelent "poor me, I'm a woman" message doesn't represent the reality of today. This would have been right on the money 60 years ago, and still a little relevant even 40 years ago. However, it's a little counterintuitive to think women are oppressed to the degree
suggested in this film when the biggest movie of the year is a pro feminist film around an iconic female toy, written and directed by a critically acclaimed and award winning female, starring an award winning, highly paid and WIDELY loved female lead. So, I've taken the time to answer your question, so now answer mine....What the fuck does that have to do with the comment I made about Joe not being right wing, because it seems an awful lot like you aren't confident enough to engage in the topic at hand, so you're trying to pick a fight you THINK you can win.

Well , I was kinda wondering if all the Barbie hate ,and general "This movie hates men" comments you see on so many pages , were predominantly from "right wing" , hence I asked for your thought's on the movie.
I agree he's not rw , thinking about it , but he does talk a lot of crazy controversial shit , some of which aligns with some of the wackier right wing dogma.
I have nothing agaisnt right wing viewpoint in principle, but it does seem to additionally encapsulate a lot crazy views and ugly ideas from the extremists.

no, he was big on not forcing people to do it, and pointed out that most healthy people probably didn't need it. He isn't right or left, but he'll speak honestly about what he believes. Sometimes that aligns more with the left, and sometimes the right, which is a lot like me. But you aren't wrong, he entertains a lot of bizarre discussion, probably because he casts such a wide net. Part of the reason he's one of the most listened to people on the planet, but stuff like bigfoot loses me.
