All the Ken’s care about are Patriarchy, horses, and mini-fridges, because they were given no rights or ideas of their own before Ken went to the real world, and he was only there for a few hours.
It’s not a critique of men in general.

So I went with my son and wife, I’m very open minded about things in general but for anyone to say this wasn’t a movie about feminism and incels is a joke. I get it, men have movies that glorify masculinity all the time so I didn’t mind watching it but to say All we care about is patriarchy and mini fridges and horses is a joke. Well made movie so I’ll just chock it up to feminism getting a good jab in.

Any dude getting personally upset about the portrayal of the Kens is telling on himself

That would be an argument if they men in the real world weren’t portrayed the same way. They shit on men in both worlds.

Some of the men were, others were shown to be normal. They really only showed a handful of real world men anyway, and Ken got all his inspiration from a few corporate suits (and honestly, a lot of male suits do act like that).

Imo it was trying to make you think about what just happened and how the fight was more of the classes rather than sexes, while presenting itself more as empowerment since thats what the brand sells, not revolution and empowerment implies keeping the status quo going, but the undertone definetly hints at the fact that the system in and of itself is wrong, not necesarily what group of people runs it.
