Bill Maher (who I don’t like) said this about Barbie (which I do agree with):
"I don't know why this is such a giant controversy now," he said. "I mean, best actress. That's the category, you know, she [Robbie] lost to other actresses. It's not like they gave her slot to Vin Diesel. Is this really the patriarchy?"
"I googled what the Mattel board really was. In the movie it's 12 men, in real life it's seven men and five women, so they were caught lying in their own movie," he said. "I remember I saw it [the movie] in the theater and I liked it, it's entertaining, but at one point, the Barbies have to like, win back the Kens and they do it by acting helpless. And the woman I was with said, 'I don't know any woman today who would do that.'"
