Lol man, every women I know has a story about being sexualized by an adult man when they were a child. Every, single, one. None of these men were considering wether it was the time and the place to shatter their innocence. That seems like more of a real threat then the "ideologies" of the Barbie movie.
I'm sorry to hear that. I was referring to kids though, not teens.
I'll back up the previous commenter. Every single woman i know was sexualised by adult men as children. Children, not teens. Like 6-7 onwards was the first I remember personally. Prepare them. Yes you want them to have that perfect childhood and be children, but they also should know that men can be creeps and it's not their fault and not acceptable, and what to do when it happens.
Agreed and we do teach our kids about this issues at home. We read books together, there's no question we won't answer. In my opinion we don't need Barbie to teach them that, that's all. It's like going to watch the Lego movie, we didn't even think of age rating, same happened here I believe...
I'm sorry you seem to be missing my greater point here: Our daughters will be sexualized by a man even while they are still children, not just teens, robbing them of their childhood innocence, which is far more damning then me or you taking them to see the Barbie move... Where most of the films message will fly right over there heads, but could create an opportunity to have a conversation about the fact above.
We do have those conversations at home. I don't need Barbie to be the messenger, I'd prefer she was a toy my kids play with, like in basically every other Barbie cartoon ever made before this movie. That's my opinion.
