My mother grew up with no love for her skin colour and internalized the message that the world around her was screaming in her ears.

It misses the mark on its path to bravery. Because it tries but fails to save itself from the biggest, all-pervasive yet most subtle cliches of all when it comes to gender equality.

So I should've watched it. At least for the sake of women's solidarity, I should have watched it by now. If feminists like me did not support Barbie, who else will?

Our language reflects our sexist, patriarchal society, with expressions casually used that we often don't even realise are problematic.

I wondered why this notion is so rampant that it is difficult for women to work together. Work is work, and does someone's sex or gender matter?
