Is being eviscerated in Hollywood. :-)

Barbie may or may not be entertaining and funny... while it certainly made tons of money from the masses... the patriarchy "battle-of-the-sexes" arguments that it inserted into a film targeted to children and families had to have rubbed industry people the wrong way. It certainly has for me.

It's no secret that America Ferrera's monologue about how it's "impossible to be a woman" is essentially Gerwig speaking through her characters, and indoctrinating children.

My theory is the whole Barbenheimer publicity stunt, and now with Christopher Nolan's & Emma Thomas' Oppenheimer being officially lauded during the awards season at Barbie's expense was an orchestrated plot to "reverse cancel" SJW Gerwig. I find great satisfaction in this, even as a progressive.

You see, the double-feature forces the individual to, all-at-once and with one swift stroke, dismiss the 21st century patriarchy theory, and realize that men with power... men like J. Robert Oppenheimer as portrayed in the film by Cillian Murphy are really the ones who society should embrace while Gerwig should just be given a toilet scrubbing brush. Anyone weeping & complaining about cat-calls, flat feet, or male CEOs are just pathetic and should all pretty much just accept their place at the bottom of the food chain. The dude, Oppie, had to use his insight into the beautiful, unseen world to make a bomb and kill hundreds of thousands of people to pave the way forward for civilization. A great responsibility and a great sacrifice. Yet Nolan took the act out of the equation, and focused on the burden of the human conscience on the individual, whether it be Dr. Oppie, General Groves, or President Truman.

It's not surprising that the person with a worldview most like Gerwig and most feminists, is actually the petty antagonist of the film, Lewis Strauss (Robert Downey, Jr.)
