That's the worst part, I agree with his point that we shouldn't have blanket prosecutions...just like we shouldn't have blanket pardons.

I think a good followup would have been "Do you believe it is also possible there are BLM protestors who likewise had the book thrown at them?" Bring it back to the question of why they think their "protest" is more acceptable than the BLM protests.

But it's weird, that didn't feel like a modern Republican interview exchange to me. Yeah he's doing the soundbites but he's actually responding with...logic rather than feelings? Or at least as close to logic as a Republican candidate can get these days.

Please don't make sweeping generalizations about whether or not women are "of use in the household" ever again, thanks.

They prefer to be fucked over at work in a different way.

That's quite a story.

The memes are the bottom are so incorrect that I have to imagine the creator was trolling.

Right, it doesn't even stop at LGBTQIA+ anymore. Anything short of the perfect bigot can be put under a microscope and declared a "sympathizer" to the "woke agenda." Heck, cis people that aren't conforming to their gender well enough are acceptable casualties, as we saw in the Philadelphia deli case a few days ago.

Something fascism, something McCarthyism.

Can we please let this meme hate die? How have you people not adjusted to the concept of putting on a costume and roleplaying, we do it every October.

Transphobes don't know that.

I mean it is in fact a shitty post.

The media trying to manufacture consent.

About at the part where

spoiler Barbie is comforting Ken on the bed ::: I said to my partner "It feels like this movie has been ending for a while now," and that was still a good way off from credits. I did appreciate that ::: spoiler spoiler Barbie and Ken didn't end up together, it was a good message that men and women both need to be okay with themselves before they pursue a relationship. I loved the "I am Kenough" shirt. :::

A few issues I had personally (oops wall of text lol):

spoiler spoiler They really hold their punches on toxic masculinity. There are no men who are outright misogynistic and believe women to be subhuman. They're all just dumb and misguided. They also made a small attempt to point out that patriarchal society is negative for men too with the "sometimes I wish we could all have tickle fights" bit, but I do wish they would have dug a little deeper into how awful it is that men are expected to never have emotions and bottle up. It was also really weird that the kid called Barbie a fascist... It almost felt like they were using that word wrong on purpose to reduce its meaning, or get Republicans in the audience to roll their eyes at the stupid SJW calling everything they don't like fascist. Also weird that at different points the movie claims Barbie saved women or set them back 50 years...like, it's just a doll. Yes, a popular doll, but it's weird to claim women gained or lost power in society solely because of a doll and not through the actions of feminists and antifeminists. :::

I'm general, I'm happy with the film's lessons, although it feels weird for Hollywood to be the one preaching them to me.
