Psychology of the Barbie Movie: Centering a Foreign Point of View - 109 Masc Psych Pod w/ David Tian

Psychology of the Barbie Movie: The Challenge of Centering a Foreign Point of View | (#109) The Masculine Psychology Podcast with David Tian There’s been considerable backlash about the Barbie movie from both critics and listeners of my show. The problem? Well, most of the criticism comes from certain types of men. In fact, I had to search the darkest corners of the internet just to find a negative review of Barbie that made a decent point. And believe it or not, this fact could explain why they don’t understand women, have no luck attracting them, and can’t create a thriving relationship (even if you have a great desire for one). Why? Barbie is a movie for teenage girls based on a doll made for teenage girls. Of course some men have a hard time watching it: It wasn’t made for them. But this also reveals a deep societal insight that can improve your relationships with women: The reaction to Barbie reveals how male-centric the world we live in still is today—in 2023. In today’s show, I explain how this male-centric centering of society hurts your understanding of women, why watching Barbie (and Sex & the City) can help you succeed with women, and what ugly truths hating Barbie reveals.
