I saw the Barbie movie yesterday evening, I did love it, but I also found many truths about the patriarchy in it. I should know I am One Leader with Two Genders of experience.
- The patriarchy is toxic for men as it is for all others.
- Being an "Alan" is difficult in a patriarchy.
- It will take a lot of time to de-program all Barbies about the patriarchy
- In the beginning, things were not patriarchal.
- There is a connection between patriarchy and capitalism.
- The patriarchy is a system that benefits Ken at the expense of Barbie.
- Patriarchial values can be upheld by Barbie as much as Ken'.
In the end, we learnt that everyone must play their part in creating an equitable world.
