OP

[(Anonymous)]

I just really thought there should've been a lot more accountability for the things that Ken did. I think it's a better way to keep something like it from happening again. There were a lot of parallels that I saw with problematic real-life behavior and it really bothered me that the movie just seemed, to me, to let it go.

And you think the way to deal with real-life problematic behavior is to saddle women with the responsibility of sitting men down and making them "work through their issues?"

It's not the job of women to manage men's emotions, and it isn't the job of one partner in a relationship to berate and punish the other until they change.

The Kens chose peace in literally the best way possible: They quietly stepped aside when the Barbies took back control. They didn't deny they were wrong and didn't argue or complain when confronted about their behavior. The Kens learned their lesson because, in the FANTASY world of Barbie, men are capable of doing that without being punished and browbeaten first, just in case they get any funny ideas in the future.

Re: OP

This happened in the barbie world... there are no jails, no cops, no harsh feelings. Barbie correctly noticed that Ken did all that because he didn't know who he was ("Maybe it's Barbie. And it's Ken.") Punishing him would do nothing but make him hate the Barbies. Encouraging him to figure out who he is solves all the issues; it decouples him from Barbie, who does not want him, and allows him to fulfill himself for himself. That was the whole point of the movie: that patriarchy harms both men and women. Punishing men for being hurt by the patriarchy helps no one.

So yeah, you didn't get it. It's fine to not like it, I didn't like it either, but at least I got it.
