Even the word "accident" is part of that downplaying.

Yeah. Society is responsible for the outcomes of its children. It shouldn't personally hurt your feelings but it should motivate your actions.

So go be one. How brainwashed do you have to be to believe hostages are being treated well by Hamas.

More bike infrastructure and non-car road users would make it safer for them and all of us.

"We can't ever do anything about how bad it is."

You know tons of them are already zipping around on dangerous roadways with no protection available to them right?

Just to clarify birth certificates are never used for medical treatment. If this information is needed the kind approach would be to add a new field to record gender assigned at birth.

Most of the time. Sometimes it can lead to code that is ambiguous and ASI picks the wrong way to interpret it.

You truly have no idea how zoning, home construction, or really anything works today and this very ignorance is informing your biases.

Bro it's that the inequality that the Kens are supposed to accept is just how it is.

I think we both get that and I think it's a great illustration. It actually hurt to hear that line as a guy.

But that's the whole point of it. If it hurts to hear that as a man about a fictional character in a movie how much does it hurt to hear that in your real life?

The movie is not advocating for switching to matriarchy. When Barbie gets liberated she doesn't leave Ken behind and tries to help him in his own liberation. Unfortunately other Barbies don't understand this and are happy to have their power back while doing minor feel good policy changes for the Kens. This is how the world actually works in a lot of instances. The movie is demonstrating quite pointedly how the world is so that we can see and feel it.
