Ginger Gaetz, the wife of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), is calling on Americans to boycott the woke new Barbie movie after being disappointed by the film’s method of “feminine empowerment” and a “lack of faith and family.”
Ginger Gaetz Calls For Barbie Boycott
Daily Mail reported that Ginger and Matt attended a launch party for Barbie, which stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling and was directed by Greta Gerwig, at the British embassy in Washington D.C on Monday. There, they were seen walking the pink carpet and sipping on pink cocktails, with Matt even wearing a pink suit to the event.
Things seem to have quickly gone downhill for them from there, however, as Ginger made it clear afterwards that they did not enjoy the screening of the film.
“Thinking about watching the Barbie movie? I’d recommend sticking to getting outfit inspiration and skipping the theater,” Ginger began on Twitter. “Here’s why: The Barbie I grew up with was a representation of limitless possibilities, embracing diverse careers and feminine empowerment. The 2023 Barbie movie, unfortunately, neglects to address any notion of faith or family, and tries to normalize the idea that men and women can’t collaborate positively (yuck).”
Ginger proceeded to lay out the few pros she had for the movie, which were “Margot Robbie’s performance,” the “stunning costume design ” and the film’s “amazing soundtrack.”
The cons, however, were as follows:
- Unfortunate portrayal of big dreams causing anxiety instead of inspiration
- Disappointingly low T from Ken
- Unfair treatment of pregnant Barbie Midge
“I really wanted to enjoy it, but ended up feeling let down,” Ginger concluded, before adding, “@american_girl, please don’t take notes on this one.”
This last line was a reference to the popular American Girl dolls, which have long been seen as competitors to Barbie dolls.
