It is kind of funny that the movie's ultimate message was that a society with strictly enforced gender roles and a dominant sex is good.
Also where was the queer representation? They showed magic earing Ken but no gay characters? Really??
If you watched the movie you know that's exactly not what it said.
I mean by the by it was a funny movie and I liked it. But when you get right down to it, it was a hail-mary attempt by Matel to switch the narrative about their toys being unhealthy for young women's body image. I'd say thats the only consistent message it had.
