The Colombian singer Shakira finds herself in the eye of the hurricane again, after sharing her controversial opinion regarding the movie Barbie, released last summer.
During an interview with the magazine Allurethe interpreter of Eyes like that He shared his experience watching the film with his children Sasha and Milan, ages 9 and 11, respectively, who also did not enjoy the show much.
According to the singer, her impression was that the film ridiculed the role of men and demeaned masculinity, something that her children did not appreciate.
“My children hated her. She seemed emasculating to them. And I agree, to a certain extent. I’m raising two kids, I want them to feel powerful too. [respetando] to women. “I like pop culture when it tries to empower women without robbing men of the possibility of being men, of protecting and providing as well,” declared the Barranquilla native.
I take advantage of this to rescue an interview with Greta where she explains the obvious regarding her double role reversal between Barbie and Ken.

This was one of the main criticisms of Greta Gerwig’s successful work, which was applauded as a social satire that represents machismo in society. In this way, both Gerwig and its protagonist and producer, Margot Robbie, defended that the point of the film is precisely to reverse the roles of society, and the way in which men are represented in the film is the way in which women are treated in real life.
Despite this, many failed to understand the irony, including the Colombian, who is now the target of ridicule on years.
Sexist violence was brought to Shakira by her asshole, how many years with Piqué?
He leaves there and makes a song to insult his mistress and mother-in-law.
And now she doesn’t understand the Barbie movie because her two males feel attacked.

“Well, what criteria do you want to give to someone who noticed Piqué?”; “’I’m raising two boys,’ well, good to know you’re raising them to be equal to their father”; “Unfortunately it is a difficult topic, being immersed in a sexist relationship for more than a decade must wreak havoc on your psyche”; “Of course men are not powerful in Barbie, it is a criticism of how we are in the real world, that children do not understand it is normal, but an adult woman questioning the point?”; “Very intelligent, but she is still Latin,” were some of the comments.
For many users, the Barranquilla woman’s statements move away from what would be a real principle of equity, since she defends that there are roles for men and women, also defending the role of men as “providers”, and “femininity” as a standard. reigning for women.
The one who stopped making videos with men because Piqué was very jealous. The one where she said she liked that Piqué was “territorial and conservative.” The one who had children without being married. The one who let Piqué’s parents manage her money even though they left her in debt to the treasury… 🥴 pic.twitter.com/ab6ffffmp7

“I think I give women all the tools and the confidence that we can do everything without losing our essence, without losing our femininity. I believe that men have a purpose in society and so do women. We complement each other, and that complement should not be lost,” she noted.
At the moment, the interpreter has not come out to defend herself against criticism, but she and her ex-partner have become a trend online for the same reason, with many pointing out that she is only reproducing in her children the same defects of former Spanish soccer player Gerard Piqué.
