BARBIE BECOMING LITMUS TEST FOR BOYFRIENDS

Now that the “Barbie” movie has taken over the world, women have posting about how disappointed they are that their partner didn’t understand the movie, particularly issues like body image and gender roles. One woman wrote, “He told me that he was really offended by the movie and said that it was the kind of thing I should have watched with my girlfriends and not him. We broke up.” So now, one TikTok user, @swagaliciousvr0, says that taking a boyfriend to see Barbie “should be your relationship test to decide if he’s a potential long-term partner.” Her criteria:
– How does he react when you tell him you want to go with him?
– What are his thoughts on why certain things are happening in the movie?
– How does he feel about [Allan]?
– What are his thoughts on the montage at the end?
– What are his feelings on the way Ken was portrayed?
– Is he interested in having an intellectual conversation about the message afterwards? I think these are all very important things that will give you a crystal clear image of what his character is.
She ends with, “If you’re testing your relationship, take him to see Barbie. If you’re going on a first date, take him to see Barbie. All men should see Barbie.”
* “P.S. – I am in no way associated with the marketing department behind ‘Barbie.”
* So, where on the internet do we go to find the correct answers to all these questions?
* Meh. Just tell her “I can’t support Barbie. I’m Team Bratz.”
* That’s fine, but my girlfriend has to sit through “Spider-Man; Across the Spider-Verse” with me. And there will be a quiz at the end.
