Flip the Script: The end of the patriarchy changes us all
Day One hundred-four:
The end of the patriarchy changes us all.
It’s not easy being Ken.
In my view, the Barbie film also depicted how difficult it is to be a Ken. Some of the key questions for men I got from the movie are:
What does being a man mean, once the traditional patriarchal scripts are torn apart?
What would it mean as men to heal our broken mindsets, attitudes, beliefs, and relationship with women?
What would it mean to not be threatened by women or competing against women, but to see women as our allies and cultivate mutually empowering relationships?
Where or what is our true source of worth and identity as men?
What would it mean to grieve and heal from the confusion, hurt, dysfunction and loss of how we once did manhood and masculinity? ~Jim Palmer
