//I saw Barbie last night and tonight I'm off to see TMNT.

For now I am going to try not to fall asleep and maybe do some writing.

#//I loved most of the barbie movie but the ending..... I have a lot of thoughts about #and I've been mansplained too twice now whilst trying to articulate those thoughts #and the irony is not lost on me that two men have tried to explain to me how Barbie has basically solved feminism given what happens in the #movie #like #I can't as a woman I can't #it's not enough I liked most of the movie #apparently I'm not allowed to be critical and have a nuanced reaction to these things and this is not the first time #nor will it be the last that I have these arguments about #not just representation but other things in film #it's not like I'm being incredibly nit picky #like omg they didn't have an autistic anxious barbie I wasn't represented lets cry #I had this same thing with elemental about people FAILING strong female characters in film
