I adore this monologue. We all nodded our heads in the theater and clapped. But I also love the "I'm not pretty anymore" line because none of the Barbie mirrors have glass in them. They don't necessarily know what they look like, just how others see them. Pretty is a feeling for them. It doesn't matter how she looks - she feels awful, and therefore doesn't feel beautiful.

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses and nobody's perfect (and you're not a nobody) but if you feel worse than you actually are (like Barbie here) then remind yourself it's just a feeling.

I think for me, this scene kinda highlights the feeling that a lot of women (and also men) feel that within the boundaries and standards of being a man/woman, that they have to be incredible to validate being a successful and attractive person. they have to prove they are smart, beautiful, capable people by being the top of the line in whatever they're interested in. barbie says she's not good enough because she hasn't accomplished incredible things, that she hasn't flown a plane, been the president, been on the supreme court. and that without it, she's not beautiful. That sentiment is way more common than ppl think. In the end, at least for me she accepts that just as she is, choosing to exist as a mortal, and being emotional but generally having a drive for something whether it be big or small, or frankly just to go through life being pretty ok is successful too.

You are not a "cis" man. You are a man. Stop putting cis on it. Just to feel "included" to people who don't even like you. Stop insulting yourself. And stop degrading yourself that women have it worst. That is simply not true. If we have it worse. Then what does men have? Better? You act as if men do not go to through to hardship. Men struggle to find a good woman. If they do, they may be forced to change on the way they act, the way they look, their habits etc. Even modern women have standards, ridiculously so by having 666. Over 6 feet tall. 6 figures. 6 pack abs. We women ruined Only Fans, having simps paid for our nude photos. We laugh that fact as we go on and be with our boyfriends. We can simply cry rape! Because #believeallwomen #believeallvictims even if you simply said Hi to us heck we can even say you drugged us. We even teach young boys that you can change your gender as early as 3 years old. We can change anything and everything whatever we please. If a captain of a boat is a woman, heck she'd probably use that opportunity to use that gender card to get off the boat. Abuse on men is laughed at if women are the abusers even called you names as wimp and loser. I can go on. Because in these times? We women have so much power and control over you men. And you think we have it worse? Lmaoo. NO

I think this is for a lot of people who aren't the pinnacle of the patriarchal chain. If you cis white straight and basically not in any of the protected groups, then you probably don't get like this. For example, one of my brothers is probably the peak example of this. He no doubt has never felt this way. Because the world has never given him cause to feel that way since he fits all the puzzle pieces to live a successful life. This doesn't mean he is automatically mean (although he can be wilfully ignorant) or doesn't struggle or work hard or have difficulties of his own. But he definitely benefits from this system that makes women and most others who are ostracised feel like what the speech said.

@@sarahberkner I think, since a woman has to be elected to these positions-- and/or accepted into a university or training program-- that, despite the fact it wasn't technically against the law, there were high and sometimes insurmountable hurtles for previous generations. You have to admit that. And the fact is-- while, yes, women may predominantly occupy certain occupations... that tends to be because those jobs or roles were delegated to women in the past. Yes, women have long been encouraged by society to plan parties, fundraisers and events. No, women have not historically been encouraged-- and have actively been hampered-- when it comes to running for president. Don't forget that women had to protest to gain the right to vote. And until the 1980s, no bank would give a woman a credit card, home loan or auto loan. It's a bit different than simply cranky complaining (which, you're right, is just annoying).

"It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we always have to be extraordinary, but somehow we're always doing it wrong. We have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin - you have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass. You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean. You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas. You're supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the damn time. You have to be a career woman, but also always be looking out for other people. You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining. You're supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood. But always stand out and always be grateful. But never forget that the system is rigged, so find a way to acknowledge that - but also always be grateful. You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line. It's too hard! It's too contradictory and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you! And it turns out in fact that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault. I'm just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us.

Someone mentioned that this would've been revolutionary 25-30 years so that takes me back personally to 1995 where the 4th World Conference of Women where Hillary Clinton in her address succinctly "Women's Rights are Human Rights" However some journalist said it was difficult to find concenses (sp?) on the whole matter of issues because women's cultural, societal and personal backgrounds affected their viewpoints. However, some of those societies that these women were coming from are heavily introduced by their respective patriarchies. I'm not saying all men but like that it's more systemic sexism that women have been fighting to overcome but it's also have us women judging each other, even turning against one another. The Boomer generation who burned their bras and fought for equal pay, and maternity leave, birth control and the women's right to bodily autonomy, privacy, no fault divorces and financial independence, not to mention the thousands of glass ceilings shattered have done a lot to advance but we see that we still have work ahead as GenXer's, GenY, and Millennials to progress the movement further or lest we fall back and lose what we had enjoyed as our freedoms.

Meanwhile there are women confined to their homes, without rights, under the power of their husbands, being operated on for barbaric traditions... And these inventions are what the film chose to focus on. No wonder people don't take us feminists seriously anymore.

But you have no idea what anyone else is going through currently or what they've been through in the past, and trying to "win" at having had tough times in your own life doesn't take away from the crap others have had to deal with. Marginalize it all you want, but this movie and this speech resonated with millions of people--if you're a real feminist and you want to be taken seriously, you'll stop feeling like you need to one-up other women by playing the "my life has been sadder than yours so your issues don't count" game. It's not a competition, sis; the ones who would hold us down want to see us back-biting and sniping each other and this is not the way to get ahead. I hope you're having a lovely day and that your year treats you better than the prior ones have.

@@rachle81 my point isn't "I'm better than you because these are my issues". That you've made up on your own. My point is that if you look at what feminism really is, historically, it is the fight for equality. Fighting for equality means not being objectified, not being seen as second to men, having the same rights and opportunities, not being stereotyped, etc. All of these issues are exemplified in the Kens. So it's really ironic that the Barbies, who in that society have faced none of that real sexism, are suddendly written to be the victims when they're clearly the oppressors at the beginning of the film. And I'm sorry, but "feeling" pressured to do this or that is not real sexism. If there are any concrete stereotypes that are harming women the film should have addressed them, instead of going "Oh women feel this and that because of the patriarchy" without giving any logical reasoning as to how the patriarchy creates those problems. And I stand by my words: all of those problems are pressure some women set on themselves as much as men may reinforce this. But women could stop placing that pressure on themselves, or simply never do (like in my case)... And guess what, they'd have the right and opportunity to do so. If they have the right and opportunity to do so without tangible consequence, by definition feminism does already exist in that situation. Therefore, feminism should be addressing problems where oppression really does exist. Those problems exist intensely outside of the western world, and more discretely in the western world; and with equal importance they should be addressed. But this speech doesn't address a single one of them. The Ken storyline does. And I agree this speech resonates with a lot of people... But I could see it resonating with men. You don't think they also set a lot of pressure on themselves, because of different stereotypes? It may be a moving speech, but it hardly defines "the experience of womanhood" if some women can't relate and a lot of men can.

100% agree, some women feel the way she does, and that's what it is a feeling and they don't realize they should work on the feeling instead of their external world. You and I might be less prone to succumbing to whatever pressure they're talking about but for people like them it's very real. I've noticed myself comparing my singing voice to that of famous singers in the studio and have to remind myself that's a ridiculous comparison, but some people (men or women) don't know to do that.

“It is letteraly impossibile to be a Woman” it's so impossible that meanwhile if I divorce my wife takes my house, my money and my shit. While I end up living in the car, in an abbandoned building or worse on the streets, and i get to see my son an hour a month

Most of the things she said are not specific to women, but even if they were, what a lazy way for a filmmaker to make the point. And that they repeated the speech so many times after that was just unpleasant to watch. I watch a movie to see things acted out, not listen to a ted talk. Show, don't tell. I liked most of the feminist jokes in the movie, but this part stood out for being boring and too blunt.

1:51 can we talk about this for a second there’s a movie in Italian called Melina. If I said it wrong, forgive me. and the pure jealousy in the movie in rages the absolute crap out of me. The people who were supposed to be her friends, shunned her, called her a slut, and a whore beat her in the street after her husband died, because they were so jealous of her beauty, you can be beautiful, but you can’t be too beautiful that you’re prettier than all the other woman in the world.
