‘I broke up with my boyfriend after watching the Barbie film

One woman took the female empowerment message to a whole new level as she broke up with her boyfriend after watching the Barbie movie – as she was fed up on his views about women

As millions of people have been rushing to go and see the new Barbie movie, fans have been sharing their experiences of what they thought. Many have been sharing the feminist values the movie brings, as well as people loving the strong female empowerment message it portrays, one woman has taken her girl power high to the extreme and has broken up with her boyfriend since watching the hit film.

Sharing her unusual breakup after being saddened by her boyfriends reaction to the film, the anonymous user wrote on the Reddit forum Am I The A**hole: “Three days ago my bf and I went to go see the Barbie movie. I’ve been really excited as I’m a huge Greta Gerwig fan and my boyfriend liked Ryan Gosling. Other than him being in the movie, my bf didn’t know anything else about it.

“I on the other hand was aware of its feminist themes and was secretly hoping my boyfriend would get the message. Over the duration of the movie I could tell he was getting more and more uncomfortable/upset and I was getting really sad (both from the movie and his reaction) and I knew we would end up having a conversation about it afterwards.

“He didn’t talk to me until we got in the car. He then told me that he was really offended by the movie and said that it was the kind of thing I should have watched with my girlfriends and not him. I understood where he was coming from but I’m not going to even start explaining why I disagreed. We have been having problems with his weird comments about women, the LGBTQ community, and other stuff.
