'Barbie goes no further than disguising the same old white feminism in a more inclusive-looking veneer. Yes, the film features Black and brown faces, plus-sized and hijabi barbies, but the message is nothing new.' ✍️ najourno writes for MetroOpinon
Think of the ultimate archetype of eurocentric, unattainable beauty standards and something like Barbie probably comes to mind – if not a literalBarbie is the pinnacle of all the standards that the rest of us are held to. She is, to me,Her shiny veneer protects her from the things that defile the rest of us, like paying the bills, ageing and discrimination.
relayed on the screen but at the same, is a film centred around a doll that represents such damaging beauty standards really what should be prioritised in the modern age?girl, I played with Barbie dolls just like every other girl I knew did. At the time, nobody had considered how her mind-bending proportions, impractically blonde hair and impossibly blue eyes might make a girl feel who sees herself reflected in none of these features.
As a fully-grown adult, a woman of colour and a visible Muslim, I understand now that Barbie is more than a toy. I am able to see her as a symbol – a symptom, even – of many things that are wrong in our society.
