Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig's 2023 blockbuster Barbie broke records, influenced fashion, boosted the doll's sales and sparked countless public discussions and impassioned speeches about womanhood.
But not everyone was impressed by the film's global appeal. For Shakira and her sons Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9, it was a metaphorical punch in the guts. In a new interview with Allure magazine, the 47-year-old 'Hips Don't Lie' singer sided with Ken and those who felt their manhood was jeopardised. "My sons absolutely hated it. They felt that it was emasculating. And I agree, to a certain extent," she told the publication, as her "she-wolf feminism"album Women No Longer Cry dropped. “I like pop culture when it attempts to empower women without robbing men of their possibility to be men, to also protect and provide. I believe in giving women all the tools and the trust that we can do it all without losing our essence, without losing our femininity,” she continued.
