Hrm, so taking your post serious for a second, you could not be more wrong if you tried.

Including the toy thing, the whole movie basically dunks modern Mattel every time it can, continuously, and only praises the original inventor of Barbie and her ideals for the toy. But specifically not what the modern C-suites made of it.

The movie is also extensively about learning to survive to insane and unachievable expectancies modern society has for women, and at the same time about men learning to define their self-worth from within instead of via competition and rivalry.

It's... damn smart, honestly. Far more so than the movie has any right to be. Left me utterly impressed.

(Oh and "woke" is just the past form of waking, you're using it wrong)
