Part 4/6:
The film’s feminist stance is a focal point of controversy. Critics argue that Barbie promotes a one-dimensional image—shaped, blonde, and traditionally feminine—that undermines women's aspirations, portraying them as satisfied in roles that don’t necessarily require career ambitions like becoming astronauts or surgeons. The author mocks feminists by suggesting that Barbie, lacking reproductive organs or the capacity for childbirth, could be seen as emblematic of feminist ideals themselves. He humorously claims that Barbie is "just like all the other feminists," due to her plastic head and superficial charm.
