Although I have not seen the Barbie Movie, from clips I’ve been spoiled Allen could easily be a representation of lumping an oppressed group with the oppressor due to their proximity to them along with his clear representation of allyship.
It’s like when the phrase “Kill All Men” or just “All Men” comes around and women point out they include Trans Men in not accounting that trans individuals are equally oppressed by men, trans-men were raised as girls and socialized under the female gender roles in society along with being ostracized in male spaces due to their inherent relation to femininity and womanhood in the eyes of the patriarchy.
Most trans men do not benefit from patriarchal standards unless they pass and are discreet about their identities and thus are barred from the safe space women provide each other as they aren’t one but cannot rely on men cause they often aren’t seen as a complete one like Allen preferred the Barbies but is inherently lumped with Kens, somewhere he doesn’t fully belong or agree with despite a desire to be there.
This also factors in to men of color or queer men who while benefiting from the patriarchy and misogyny to an extent, are still oppressed individuals compare to their straight white counterparts. In the case men of color (especially brown and black men) are often treated worse due to their position in what is considered an ideal patriarchal social hierarchy.
This is no way to diminish struggles of women or the ideals and message of the film but I’ve been seeing KAM go around again and must remind those that the phrase lacks nuance and is pretty bare bones and detrimental in relation to actual feminist ideals.

i’m fully blaming the barbie movie for this resurgence of the false ‘girl film’/‘boy film’ dichotomy because tell me why i just went to log the iron claw on letterboxd only to see a bunch of reviews calling it little women for boys or the virgin suicides for boys like. these are the same women who say ‘girl’ rather than ‘woman’ and say things like it’s misogynistic to criticise plastic surgery, skin care and make up culture, or that criticising beauty standards in any way as a woman is just internalised misogyny. it’s borderline biological essentialism and it makes you no better than terfs!!! i’m sick of it!!!

I'm obsessed with the statement the barbie movie is anti men. not only is it a satire it's also very clearly about how men as a whole (or at least kens) have no real identity. they only love things superficially. and how it's actually a deeply pro men move to say maybe you should learn who YOU are.
the barbie movie is a feminism piece about how hard it is to be a woman and how men put their personalities on as superficially things

don’t make the outcome the goal.
make the habits and process required to get that outcome the goal.
only then will it become your reality.
