Something that I really like about the Barbie movie is that while there's this dialogue about how Barbieland is the real world in reverse, it's clear that the Kens don't have it as bad in Barbieland as women do in the real world. Yes, it's an unequal society which leaves Ken unsatisfied, but he doesn't face the sexual violence and danger that Barbie does in the real world. And I like it because there are so many movies or books where matriarchy is described as terrible and oppressive and just as bad as patriarchy, as if women in power would treat men the same way men have treated women for millennia. And the Barbie movie subtly interrogates that - like yes, the Kens not having power in society does block their self-realization, and it would be better for them if society was truly egalitarian, but in the meantime, they get to sit around on the beach all day and go to fun parties. Barbie under matriarchy does not wield the same oppressive power as real men in the real patriarchal world, showing that the problem with our world isn't just that men hold more political and economic power, but how they wield that power to terrorize women.
well this just confirms that she is a literal goddess of which we feel compelled to worship everyday and even dedicate every sunday to not only her but also supercorp

HOW ARE WE FEELING JEMILY NATION??

thinking about jj having to talk herself down from being mad at emily after she found out about baugate, after she found out that emily kept baugate from her, because "it gives me you". thinking about jj having to swallow her anger and her pride and her hurt because she doesn't want to lose someone who's been there for her for almost 20 years. thinking about what it took for jj to take all of that in and then...let it go. and how she shouldn't have had to.
she should have been given her moment to yell and cry and point an accusing finger at emily and say "you did that to me! you kept it from me!" thinking about poor jj having to hold it in and keep it to herself and stay quiet once again
thinking about the resignation and acceptance in emily's tearful eyes as she nods and says, "you're right, i'm sorry"
