  1. Good for Louise! A party to “Smash the Patriarchy” sounds like something that should sweep the nation! I originally had no desire to see the movie Barbie, but now I will. If this improves Women’s rights in the country, I’m here for it!

  2. Also with Star Trek in general, showing women in important positions along with men. And I’ll never forget Star Trek: The Next Generation when they changed the intro from “where no man has ever gone before” to “where no one has ever gone before”. I started watching it for that reason alone at first.

  3. And The Deer Hunter with the Vietnam war (along with several others).

  4. Yes, as a little girl, Bambi tore my heart out, and I think I cried through the rest of the movie. After that, I couldn’t even go to see Ol’ Yeller.

  5. And guns.

  6. Unfortunately, the Patriarchy isn’t relegated to “the bad ol’ days”. Just like racism, it has gotten only more open and rampant since, especially, trump coming to the forefront of the news in the last seven or eight years (just think about Roe v. Wade being overturned and all the anti-abortion laws put into place, primarily being passed by rich, white men, as well as, possibly, anti-contraception laws coming up). I’m just very glad that it’s being newly exposed and explained, and that people are ‘getting it”. Maybe, just maybe, this Barbie movie will make a real difference, and that it can be sustained. Who’da thunk, eh? (From another woman very, very close in age to you).
