Ken only has a good time when Barbie looks at him.” Yes, there are good twists in the Barbie movie. Yes, he criticizes patriarchy. Feminist statement? As for me. But the effect should not be overestimated. In the end, the Barbie group will benefit the most from the marketing machine.
Feminism is in deep crisis. During the Swiss women’s strike, there was no “sisterhood” like in the Barbie movie. The left and the bourgeois camp took different paths. The gender debate fueled in certain circles irritates Switzerland more than the hate speech against the underprivileged.
At the international level, things are no better. German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock sets important impulses with her feminist foreign policy, and it is for this reason that some do not take her seriously.
The world needs more Baerbock and less Barbie. Violence is less common in countries with greater equality. Peace processes are more effective when they are inclusive. Development aid doesn’t work without women.
Feminist foreign policy also draws attention to the fact that it is mostly boys who suffer from child soldiers. So she helps the real Kens too. Switzerland should lead this debate. Glamor in pink is not enough.
