Why Are Women Breaking Dumping Their Boyfriends Because Of ‘Barbie’?
Well, it may have something to do with the irresistible good looks and charms of Ryan Gosling. They are very hard to resist. And he does an amazing job as Ken to Margot Robbie‘s Barbie. But there is one deeper meaning to why women are breaking up because of ‘Barbie‘.
Women are ready to ditch their boyfriends if they do not agree with the movie’s feminist message. ‘Barbie‘ has a strong feminist message hidden in all the fun and games. And it has resonated strongly with viewers. The color pink has stood out equally and there has been a trend of wearing pink clothes to watch the movie.
On Reddit, a woman accounted how her boyfriend became more and more uncomfortable during the course of the film, and his reaction upset her a lot. After the movie, the guy admitted that he “was really offended by the movie” in the car and that she should have watched it with her girlfriends. The woman tried to see his point but she realized the break-up was supposed to happen for a long time. “We have been having problems with his weird comments about women, the LGBTQ+ community, and other stuff. He would deem it ‘b**** s***,’” she added.
As for how ‘Barbie‘ empowered her to get out of the relationship, she wrote, “I was tired of having to always deal with his attitude and disrespect, and I was also maybe on this girl-power high. So I told him it was over.”
