What, you ask, is a “Zombie Lie?”
Maher defines it as, “Something that never was true, but certain people refuse to stop saying it (tax cuts for the rich increase revenues, e.g.); OR something that USED to be true but no longer is, but certain people pretend it’s still true.”
In any case, Maher’s gist is that Barbie, with a main character who fights the patriarchy, is actually a few years out of date because the power structure of the world we live in is “not really any longer deserving of the word ‘patriarchy.'”
For proof, he offers the fact that the Mattel board is actually made up of 5 women and 7 men, not all men, as the film posits.
“Truth is, I’m not the one who’s out of step – I’m living in the year we’re living in,” writes Maher. “Barbie is fun, I enjoyed it – but it IS a #ZombieLie. And people who don’t go along with zombie lies did not take some red pill – just staying true to CURRENT reality. Let’s live in the year we’re living in!”
