complaints about the Barbie movie appear only from the privileged white men on my timeline and I shouldn’t be surprised even if those men call themselves allies or feminist it speaks volumes to me that they voice their opinion at all about it and decide to post their sexist bullshit and maybe this is coming from a middle-aged woman who’s crazy but it’s hard to see that in this instance Why men can’t stay in the backseat and allow women to shine brightly without the patriarchy trying to dim their light
I hold my head up high now no matter what happens I will never allow anyone to ever again dim or extinguish my light I now understand the magic I hold within and how it can be intimidating to some people who can’t understand it
and sometimes those meltdowns include angry poems like this one…lol
she thinks she should be thanked for flexing her confidence clothed in privilege and luxury by posting advice to women about how dining alone in a fancy restaurant is women’s empowerment and I have an adverse reaction that makes me want to vomit it feels like a modern day Marie Antoniette moment perhaps it’s because I’m a working class immigrant woman who struggles in America perhaps it’s because the rights of the marginalized and working class are being ripped away from us and on my social media feed, this yuppie and elitist bullshit appears how can I be friends with this bleached blonde Barbie oh yeah, we worked together briefly and I almost start to comment with an essay on how she should check her privilege before handing out tokens of toxic positivity while people like me are drowning in debt and lack financial stability but I stop this barbie isn’t worth my time or energy it’s time to unfriend and unfollow the marie antoinette wannabe who only serves to trigger my working class rage who serves to remind of the injustice and inequality in this capitalistic and racist American society
