Greta Gerwig's movie based on the world's most iconic fashion doll keeps dancing past one record after another.

Yes!! There are flaws with all of those movies, but it’s hard to be choosey when there are so few movies that feel like this. Everything Everywhere All At Once also kind of scratches this itch for me, though in a more broad sense due to the wide range of ideas it covered. I’m super glad to talk about Barbie with other women! It has been great seeing all the women I work with embracing a side of themselves that has historically been shit on.

Excuse me those movies are flawless!!! I will hear nothing more of such blasphemy lol

I'm so glad you have that! Where I grew up I was sort of the weirdo that liked barbies, none of my other friends were into them. So I didn't have anyone to see the movie with or talk about with after that would really get it. The person I went with was a good sport at least.

My b lol, you won’t hear any more slander from me. Dang, I wish I could send you some of my coworkers to talk to! Meaning they would be missed, they’re awesome women and you would love chatting with them.

I actually joined mastodon recently so I could listen to/chat with more women who share my views. I’m finding Lemmy still a bit dominated by men, a bit too much like Reddit in that regard, but on mastodon I’ve been slowly finding exactly what I’m looking for. I’ve found some great recommendations for movies and books by women, POC, and LGBTQ+ people, it’s been really refreshing. I was never on twitter so it’s weird to adjust to, but it’s actually serving a healthy purpose in my life

the number of women here might be higher than you think, I for one am putting the minimum amount of personal info in the fediverse and many other women do the same

[-] girl@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

very true! I do think there are proportionally more women here than Reddit, just based on personal observation, but I have no way of knowing the numbers. With mastodon a lot of people put their gender in their bio so I can easily find women to follow and give myself a really woman-dominated feed, even if mastodon in general is still dominated by men.
