Before you watch Barbie, I suggest you close your eyes and meditate on these questions:

When it comes to women, what image comes to your mind?

In what scenes do you have women in mind? What are you doing?

If you are a woman, what were you taught from a young age about the qualities and norms of being a woman?

What do you think you are good enough to be? Did you do it? Why?

If you were to evaluate yourself on three keywords, what would be the first three words that come to mind?

Do you have a high opinion of yourself? Do you think you have gained as much as men?

Okay, now open your eyes, open the door to the screening room, and let's go into the world of Barbie.

You were born in the real human world, and Barbie was born in Barbieland.

In Barbieland, women control everything, from the most respectable jobs to the highest salaries, all belong to women, every mansion, every sports car, every object here is written with a woman's name, women have freedom, power, respect, and control everything from the abstract to the concrete resources, while men, although they have names, But they can only exist in society in the role of "Barbie boyfriend", becoming an ornament, a decoration among many things of women, they are not allowed to work, are not allowed to own assets, they are taught that their mission is to take care of women, to serve women, to speculate on women, to obey women, to make women happy. Women do not have to undertake unpaid labor, do not have to take children, as long as they go out to socialize, work, and can open sister parties every night, sisters are like brothers and sisters, men are like clothes.

Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? But if you flip the gender of the above paragraph, everything becomes very reasonable, as Ginsburg said: "When I became a justice, I was sometimes asked: How many women on the Supreme Court is fair?" When I answered "nine" (that's nine for a full Supreme Court), people were shocked. But in the past, the nine justices have always been all men, and no one questioned it."

Men have owned the world for thousands of years, and if it is really fair, then the power of the world should also be handed to women for thousands of years before it is fair, but women have not asked for it, and it has never come true. Ginsburg just said this assumption that "nine justices should be women before it is fair", which is enough to shock people. Get a sense of what's behind this shock, and it's called misogyny.

So, what is misogyny? Simply put, there are certain things, especially those good things, that people have a voice inside that says, men can do, women can't do. Leadership is a good thing, so most of the leaders are men, and the occasional "female leader" always has a tacit derogatory meaning, "I have a female leader" this sentence is often said, others will look at you with a little sympathy, he has never even known the leader, but only because she is "female", she has been tacitly regarded as annoying. As Sasha says in the movie, "In this world, men hate women, and women hate women." The sense of misogyny is deeply implanted in our subconscious, so women are always unconsciously with a strong sense of unworthiness, you may think you are who? What would you believe? What faith will you act on? To shape your life? You think you decided all this on your own? In fact, it's not.

In psychological counseling, will often emphasize a thing "awareness of your pattern", what is your pattern, that is, you encounter a certain thing, natural thoughts and feelings, natural behavior and reaction way, you think that it is just an abstract idea? No, it actually changes your body, it changes the way the neural pathways in your brain are connected, which means that certain neurons in your brain are activated over and over again, and the brain learns that activation pattern and it reappears in the future.

In The Body Never Forgets, van der Cock talks about how experience and education change our brains, and thus determine how we courage, think, and react. A person who from a young age has often been deprived, degraded, frightened, and felt unrecognized and unwanted, has a brain that is particularly good at perceiving fear and abandonment. And a person who was encouraged, loved, and felt safe from an early age has a brain that is particularly good at exploring and cooperating.

Therefore, women are not born "female", our brains are chaotic at birth, the key lies in the acquired training, how a baby knows that he is a woman, and what it should be like as a woman, in fact, others in every word, every look, every behavior, imperceptibly taught us, engraved in our brains, So when we are repeatedly denied from childhood, as inferior to men, we also learn self-censorship, self-doubt, self-limitation, misogynistic brain circuit also naturally formed, so men hate women, women also hate women. Only awareness can change, as Chizuko Ueno once wrote in his book Misogyny: "A feminist is someone who is aware of their own misogyny and is determined to fight against it."

Another important manifestation of misogyny is female competition, female competition is actually very abnormal, if we look at animals in nature, there is no such thing as female competition, it is always the male who needs to compete, only the male needs to try to make himself more beautiful, let himself show beauty and strength, to figure out how to attract the opposite sex, what material can provide the opposite sex, How to beat the other sex for the female's mating rights... For example, wolves are monogamous mammals, much like humans. Have you ever seen a female Wolf dress up or fight for a male? Would any female Wolf try to figure out what a male Wolf likes about herself, and then do anything to please him? Never, she just needs to be herself and live leisurely, because the female has its own reproductive resources, which should be the object of competition.

But in the male-dominated world, men project the anxiety of competition to women, so that women think that if you can't be loved it is because you are not good enough, you are not obedient enough, you are not beautiful enough, you are not thoughtful enough, as Zhang Ailing said: "men look good is the egg, and women are the duty." So women become anxious, constantly measuring themselves against these standards, and when they fail to meet them, they will doubt and attack themselves, but in the end, these abnormal female competition is just a game designed by men to raise the standards, so that they can get better partners at a lower cost, and men themselves never have to worry about this.

So men can focus on how to make themselves stronger, while the way of female competition is endless thinking about how to make men like, how to transform themselves, so that they can become more than other women to meet the standards of men. Gloria's speech in the play puncts the contradiction and pain of women in these strict standards of female competition: you have to be beautiful, but not beautiful enough to be hated by the same sex; You have to have money, but you can't ask for it; You have to be a good mother, but you can't always talk about the child; You have to be successful in your career while taking care of everyone around you... Can't fail, can't be afraid, can't be old or ugly, everything is contradictory and depressing, but also maintain positive energy.

Barbie has not always appeared as a feminist image, once she was almost a silly white sweet spokesperson, she lives in a bright pink plastic world, the body and appearance will never be perfect, not old and not ugly, so when she first met Sasha in the human world, Sasha made a mockery of her, Sasha's argument pretty much explains why Barbie has been on the decline in recent years, but Sasha's attack is mainly about stereotypes. But this movie, its setting is clever, it reverses people's stereotype of Barbie in one stroke, from her inside let us know Barbie again.

Barbie is actually born pure feminist, her pure reflected in her thoughts never tainted with any patriarchal world teachings, so she has a natural high self-esteem, absolute high confidence, she knows what it is really respected, so any gender discrimination in human society, in her view is extremely uncomfortable and disturbing, just like a fish, if it has been living in sewage, It will not feel that it is sewage, nor will it understand how the sewage has corroded itself, but if a fish is thrown into the sewage from a clear lake, it will be very uncomfortable, from the body to the mind will be triggered by a strong alarm.

So Barbie with the mother and daughter quickly fled back to the Barbie park, but she did not think that here is also polluted, Ken brought back the brainwashing package of the male power world, the Barbie park from the spirit to the material are stirred upside down, but as an audience, the most poke is, Barbie's pain I can not feel! When I look at men enjoying the care and worship of women, men taking the title of the house as their own, I only inexplicable sense of familiarity, isn't this the world I have been living in? We have long been accustomed to all this and feel natural, do not feel anything abnormal, what about pain and resistance?

But Barbie can't get used to, for her, this is aggression is robbery, she has no inherent misogyny and servility, she knows this is a crime, must fight, but she sadly found that, in contrast to the unity of men, working together to fight for the interests of the male group, women are not united at all, they have been brainwashed to have forgotten who they should be, or can be. They are willing to surround the men to flatter, think Barbie is unaware of the situation.

It was enough to cause despair and depression that Barbie fell face down on the lawn and never recovered. How to recover the lost paradise? The road is slow and long.

So the Barbies planned a war to take back the world that should have belonged to them, and when I watched this, I thought of a question: Will men really support women's rights? I'm sure there are a lot of men who genuinely support women's rights, but most men just support women's rights out of a misunderstanding that they want women to work for themselves, pay for themselves, carry their own gas cans, no longer take money from men, no longer make men pay bills, no longer need men to fix light bulbs, Their imagination of women's rights is that "women will bear more and pay more" superwomen, women will still have children, will still do housework, will still take care of good men's everything, but in addition to this, feminists will give them more freedom, do more work, pay more money, but will not ask for more.

These men are naive, because the so-called power, has always been the occupiers hurt the non-occupiers of the game, women want not only to bear more, but to get more, when men understand that women really want power, they will find that they do not support women's rights, so it is regarded as a war of death. Because power has always been a scarce resource, and when it goes away, it goes away, just like when the Barbies take back the mansions and the reigns, the Kenses are destined to lose it. Perhaps, this is the reason why "feminists" were born to be stigmatized, and the voice behind this is actually from the deep-rooted collective subconscious misogynist voice in the patriarchal culture: "You don't deserve it!" "You're not worth it!" Let's shout back together like Barbie in the movie! "I deserve it!" "I deserve it!

Before you watch Barbie, I suggest you close your eyes and meditate on these questions:

When it comes to women, what image comes to your mind?

In what scenes do you have women in mind? What are you doing?
