    Wasn’t the matriarchy in the barby movie done specifically to parody the patriarchy in real life?

    They aren’t so much advocating for it as using it as an obvious 1 to 1 allegory.

      Yeah but at the end of the movie they reinstate matriarchy and give kens a bit more power, and I found that to be such a 180

        Yea, that movie didn’t really explore the problems well, more of just made fun of the whole situation. I liked it about 1/5th as much as most, apparently.
