the barbie movie very explicitly said that men also suffer under the patriarchy and should support rather than compete with one another and are good enough just by being themselves and shouldn’t define themselves around a woman or relationship and somehow that wasn’t positive enough

Yet, they explicitly state Barbieland is a matriarchy. Again the patriarchy being a thing in modern West is a bs idea. A real patriarchy isn’t not enough women in a career field patriarchy is not having the ability to have things for granted like voting and going to school like what is happening in Afghanistan. Seriously, you dumbasses are realizing why people are rolling their eyes rather than celebrating this. 

They did this in Star vs. the Forces of Evil.

She and her kingdom had to deal woth gender roles, but her kingdom has been ruled by women (save for like 2 years) for at least hundreds (of not thousands) of years.

So why blame “patriarchy”? How is it still men’s fault when women have been in charge.

Sounds like “patriarchy” is just an excuse to blame sexism in society on men, regardless of how much women help create and perpetuate it.

"Liberals in my day protected art and made fun of those that said it had satanic messaging when you play it backwards or shit like that. That's what you guys are now, the epitome of what you used to hate."

Yup.

Liberals used to be against racism, and bullying and sexism, and treating others badly for how they were born. Now it's quite the opposite.

In 1992, Sinead O'Connor ripped up a picture of the Pope on live television, in protest of the rampant child sexual abuse the Catholic Church was actively covering up.

Ten days later, she was scheduled to perform at Madison Square Gardens, as part of a celebration of Bob Dylan. As soon as she got to the microphone, the audience began loudly booing her, seemingly in unison.

The organizers tasked Kris Kristofferson with removing O'Connor from the stage. He instead went out and put his arm around her and checked in on her and stayed until she'd steadied herself and was ready to perform. When she came off stage, he wrapped her in a bear hug.

"Sinead had just recently on Saturday Night Live torn up a picture of the Pope, in a gesture that I thought was very misunderstood. And she came out and got booed. They told me to go get her off the stage and I said 'I'm not about to do that'

I went out and I said 'Don't let the bastards get you down'. She said 'I'm not down' and she sang. It was very courageous. It just seemed wrong to me, booing that little girl out there. But she's always had courage."

Y'all will praise this woman and then boo other people who speak unpopular truths.

Let it be clear that in the time of rampant social media-based cancel culture and selective hypocritical outrage, many if not most of you would absolutely be one of the people booing this woman if you were around back then.

Silencing someone who speaks negatively about a group you care about? An inconvenient truth about bad things your favorite group does being ignored and excused? Mocking them and trying to keep them from having a platform to speak on?

You're not so different.

Edit: someone brought up The Sound of Freedom movie and...yeah.
