Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

I'm not sure how to do spoilers so spoiler warning for anyone reading.
That isn't how the Ken revolution ends. It ends by saying that they will eventually get as much rights as women have in the real world, again emphasizing the fact that women do not have equal rights or opportunities to men and that society should fix that (which is the literal definition of woke). It ends by saying "progress is being made, will continue to be made, and ought to continue to be made" not by maintaining the status quo. It seems like you missed just a few extremely crucial lines in the movie and that led you to this wrong conclusion that the movie is somehow not woke or not leftist, which it undeniably is.
Well it isnt really clear on that front to me, and the protagonists still did all else that i wrote about, maybe i did miss it but it didnt really seemed to end on that note to me, not as i remember it atleast. And it is suposed to mirror womens strugle in the real world just with the sexes reversed. And if the paralles are right, yes a lot was made for womans rights, but a lot more was made to apear we are doing a lot for womans rights and the film is aware of it, it straight up says it in the scene where ken is trying to get a job on some company and it implies it on the mattel company wher everyone of the leaders are male and when conftonted about it say they had some women in the past. So i think tje same may be aplicable to the kens and barbies, just making them believe they are empowered. What im saying is that the movie isnt woke in the international sense of it, so maybe woke-washed would be a more apliccable term to what im refering to. So if i missed it or not i think it leaves enough ambiguity on that front to be interpreted like that.
