A man mocking something he cant directly relate to?
Like, at all.
Warner Bros.
I wont deny that was probably a contributing factor, at least to some extent.
Not girls, not just teenagers, but women of all ages.
It was advertised as campy.
It was advertised as funny.
But more than anything, it was advertised as brazenly and shamelessly feminine.
The things men find interesting and that are associated with masculinity are conflated with sophistication and importance.
Womens interests and creations, on the other hand, are deemed as frivolous.
Not to be taken seriously, much like the women enjoying it.
Its why we have the phrase chick flicks in the first place.
Its whyBarbiehas been given the same treatment.
However, what they are forgetting is that feminism is about equality.
Men too are part of feminisms equation for a balanced, just society.
This movement is just as much for women as it is for men.
Things such as toxic masculinity hurts men and boys just as it wounds women and girls.
But at the same time, I still understandThe Godfathers significance.
I still appreciate the films accomplishments.
Men, on the other hand, in so many ways are not taught the same.
Koy is a prime example of this.
And, I dont know, maybe even made a joke that actually landed.
Whos to say, though?
