Like, oh my god, you would totally not believe how the Barbie movie, of all things, totally sabotaged my love life! Right? Who would have thought? So there I was, sitting on my pink, fluffy couch with my boo, excited to bask in the nostalgic glow of my childhood. But that nostalgia turned into, like, total horror real quick!
Let me break it down for you. So there's this scene, right, where our beloved Barbie apologizes to Ken - yes, that's right, she apologizes - for not being into him. What even is that? I was like, "Hold on, did Barbie just say she's sorry for not being into a guy?" Like, since when did we start teaching girls that they need to apologize for not having feelings for someone?
My other half chuckled and said, "Maybe you should take notes." Notes! As if! I should have thrown my popcorn at him, but I was in shock. That's when I realized, "Am I dating a real-life Ken?" And not the cute, plastic one with the changeable clothes, but the one who thinks women should say sorry for having their own feelings.
So yeah, Barbie, thanks for the unexpected life lesson. You single-handedly managed to make me reassess my relationship. But hey, at least we now know that even a Barbie movie can be thought-provoking, right? Like, totally deep and stuff.
