Late-night television host Bill Maher did not have kind things to say about the latest summer blockbuster ‘Barbie,’ slamming the movie for being a “preachy, man-hating, and a #ZombieLie” by pushing false narratives about a society that never existed.
“OK, "Barbie": I was hoping it wouldn't be preachy, man-hating, and a #ZombieLie - alas, it was all three,” Maher wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “What is a Zombie Lie? Something that never was true, but certain people refuse to stop saying it (tax cuts for the rich increase revenues, e.g.); OR something that USED to be true but no longer is, but certain people pretend it's still true. 'Barbie' is this kind of #ZombieLie.”
“Spoiler alert, Barbie fights the Patriarchy. Right up to the Mattel board who created her, consisting of 12 white men! The Patriarchy! Except there's a Mattel board in real life, and it's 7 men and 5 women,” he continued. “OK, not perfect even-steven, but not the way the board IN THE MOVIE - which takes place in 2023 - is portrayed. And not really any longer deserving of the word 'patriarchy.' Yes, there was one, and remnants of it remain - but this movie is so 2000-LATE.” “At one point the Barbies have to win over the Kens, and they are told to do it by pretending to act helpless and not know how to do stuff. Helen Gurley Brown called, she wants her premise back," he continued. "Yes, that WAS a thing. I saw ‘Barbie’ with a woman in her 30s who said, ‘I don't know a single woman of any age who would act like that today.’” “I know, I know, 'How could I know about the patriarchy, I AM a man!' That argument is so old and so silly. Of course, none of us can know exactly what others go through life, but I can see the world around me, and I can read data. The real Mattel board is a pretty close mirror of the country, where 45% of the 449 board seats filled last year in Fortune 500 companies were women. Truth is, I'm not the one who's out of step - I'm living in the year we're living in. Barbie is fun, I enjoyed it - but it IS a #ZombieLie. And people who don't go along with zombie lies did not take some red pill - just staying true to CURRENT reality. Let's live in the year we're living in! Hi Ken!!! #BarbieMovie,” Maher concluded. Elon Musk responded to the essay from Maher, asking, “Why do they keep pushing these lies?” Maher joins the growing crowd of people calling out ‘Barbie’ for its openly misandrist viewpoints that it pushes to promote modern feminism. A group cannot push to raise itself by lowering another group otherwise conflict will inevitably rise.
