Barbie, Greta Gerwig’s breakthrough success, not only broke box office records…but also relationships.
The blockbuster movie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as the nonchalantly devoted Ken, has been the talk of the town since its release and grossed over $900 million worldwide in just 14 days.

Almost three weeks after her debut, Barbie was praised by critics and audiences for bringing the popular doll to life in a fun and powerful animated adventure that delighted audiences of all ages. However, several women said they seriously reconsidered their partnerships after seeing the video.
For those who haven’t seen the movie, Barbie stars as Robbie a resident of Barbieland who travels to the real world to find that it isn’t the feminist utopia she thought it was. Ken, played by Ryan Gosling, decides to destroy their bright home with the toxic values ​​of modern patriarchy.
Because of the message of the film, which has already reached $351.4 million in the United States and Canada, TikTok users are advising women to break up with their boyfriends if they do not understand the concept of feminism and patriarchy.
One TikTok user, @charlotteryckeboer, wrote: “Take your boys to a Barbie movie and if they hate it, fire them.”
“If you’re going to see it with a guy who says, ‘Ken didn’t do anything wrong, the patriarchy [is] good,’ then you have to get rid of him,” Megan “The Fangirl,” also reported Gotham on the social networking platform. and added: “[Director Greta Gerwig is trying to save us all, via Barbie!”
Even on Reddit’s “Am I The A**hole” subforum, one anonymous member said she took the message of female empowerment to a whole new level when she left a relationship with a man after watching the movie Barbie because of his attitudes toward women…
“He didn’t say anything to me until we got into the car. He then informed me that the movie upset him and that it was something I should have watched with my girlfriends rather than him,” they wrote. “We had issues with his weird comments about women… it may have taken a long time, but this was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
