I Just Had a Crazy Thought

The Barbie movie just came on. Does anyone else wonder if this election result is male backlash to this movie? God forbid women should chart their own path and make their own decisions. I do remember when this movie came out, it was not well received by a certain percentage of the population. it’s just so very hard for me to understand how ANYONE could feel Donald Trump is the answer to any of our problems. The election makes it seem that women really have not made that much progress. It’s like we’ve been sold a bill of goods. It’s all about control and domination.

No, I don't. But I think Trump's election in 2016 was a backlash against Obama's election. surfered Nov 11 #2

A lot of men were put off by the movie. They were already being turned down. After the movie doubled down.
