The story so far
Everything you need before watchingBarbie walks into a junior-high courtyard certain she is every girl's favorite woman. Gloria tries to stop her: Sasha can talk to you, but you never talk to Sasha. Barbie still asks for a hug for being their favorite toy. The girls have not played with her since they were five. Then Sasha unloads: sexualized capitalism, unrealistic ideals, fascist. Barbie, who is technically Stereotypical Barbie, excuses herself in tears. Ken notices men get the respect she just lost, and starts asking strangers for the time.
