1ºLove how the majority of these comments are opinions on someone else's opinion that does not affect you, at all. She has the right to it as much as you all do. I sense she hurt you feefees because her opinion is different than yours. Amazing how women's opinions are only respected as long as they align with your own. The best part of the movie was Ryan Gosling and you can't stand 8t. The rest of the movie was a load of nonsensical, 3rd wave feminist dribble. It debunks itself and does not have the clarity to realize it. Unsurprisingly, neither did you all. The NPC level is way over 9000 and it shows...
2ºWe all now it was. The real victims of sexism are men as they are the one who have the most suicide, drug addiction, incarceration rates, early death, workplace injuries/deaths, death by violence, likely to be a victim of crime, higher homelessness and many more. Not to mention men do all the difficult jobs that keep this world moving like utility workers, construction, police/fire, rig workers, shipbuilders/captains, factory workers, dock workers, etc.
Why are we never talking about those issues? Because men are taught that complaining makes them look weak and they will be ridiculed and women are not attracted to "wimps".
I know its much nicer to be a woman than a man in the western world.
3ºFrederick Good or tell it to Jackie Tonawanda, Katie Hnida, Billy Jean King, Danica Patrick, Chyna, Eri Yoshida, Julie Krone, Carissa Moore, Dame Ellen MacArthur, Jackie Mitchell, Zhang Shan, Babe Zaharias, or Christa McAuliffe. There is also a reason why our Military is shrinking in overall population, but women enlisted are rising. About 20% of those women protecting your ignorance are doing what men are doing… I’ll take your view of a fragile bone structure over your fragile ego based in ignorance any day. What I just gave you is called, “education”. You can choose to soak it up, or you can choose to vomit whatever nonsense you want to make your ego feel better. Up to you!
4ºMangala Naik my people like me, you mean people who have their own opinions while simultaneously being able to understand that other people might have different opinions than my own and respecting their right to hold whatever opinion they wish? That's a silly reason to make movie that only demonstrates this principle by its own, unfettered, delusions to the point that it contradicts itself into a corner and unwittingly paints itself as oppressor rather than the oppressed. No I don't think this movie is because of me. If it was, it would actually be a good movie and also make sense.
5ºPiotr Stachera it isn’t. She is not news here. The movie was brilliant and actually gave ken his due. I loved it, especially the special interceptions by the director/ producer. Margo was awesome and it was just fun. You cant even have a fun movie anymore and peoole just have to tear it apart and inject politics. It is a sad note to our country and I am especially sad that Shakira said that. I actually liked her until that ridiculous statement. Women just want to be equal. How is that bad? If her children felt emasculated by this movie, then she has failed as a parent. Good God, its a movie, like not real life.
6ºIn many respects, Shakira's insights offer a nuanced perspective on the cultural landscape, shedding light on dimensions often overlooked or deliberately avoided. She delves into a reality that many prefer not to confront: the significant influence wielded by women in shaping culture, particularly in the Western world. Contrary to popular belief, it's not men who predominantly dictate the course of cultural evolution; rather, it's women who often take on this role.
Shakira highlights a crucial aspect of Western culture, emphasizing the pivotal role of mothers, especially those with sons, in shaping societal norms and expectations. There exists a desire among these mothers for their male offspring to embody traits traditionally associated with strength and resilience, rather than what may be perceived as weakness or vulnerability. This desire stems not only from a maternal instinct to see their children thrive but also from a subconscious drive to ensure that their offspring surpass them in success and stature.
Consider the dynamics of the contemporary culture wars through this lens: it's no longer solely a clash between LGBTQ+ communities and marginalized groups versus traditional societal norms. Instead, it has evolved into a battleground where mothers, driven by a desire to safeguard the cultural fabric they grew up in, engage in a struggle to preserve certain values and principles for the benefit of their children. Conversely, women without children may advocate for change, seeking to redefine cultural norms to better reflect their own experiences and aspirations for a more equitable society.
Shakira's remarks, though subject to criticism, resonate with many who empathize with her perspective. Criticizing her candid observations only serves to deepen the divide, particularly among mothers who identify with her sentiments. The emergence of voices like Shakira's, alongside figures such as J.K. Rowling, underscores a shift in the discourse surrounding social issues. Their viewpoints, often aligned with more conservative ideologies, unite a coalition of individuals willing to challenge the prevailing narrative of "wokeness" and cultural complacency.
In essence, Shakira's commentary invites us to reconsider the dynamics at play within the culture wars, urging a deeper examination of the roles women, particularly mothers, play in shaping the cultural landscape. It prompts reflection on the motivations driving individuals' stances on societal issues and underscores the complex interplay between personal experiences, maternal instincts, and broader cultural dynamics.
