HuffPost Personal recently posted an opinion piece titled “I Took My 15-Year-Old Son To See ‘Barbie’ Because I’m Worried He Could Become Ken,” which at first I understandably took to be satire. But no, progressivism is often simply a parody of itself, and that is the case with this HuffPost piece. Beyond its unintentional entertainment value, however, it’s a revealing look into the mindset of feminists who wrestle with the misfortune of having borne one or more male children instead of daughters with whom they can bond over their shared oppression under the boot heel of – ugh – men.
The author is Wendy Besel Hahn (pronouns she/her), a writer and editor and the 51-year-old mother of a 15-year-old son. Her HuffPost article is full of virtue-signaling about her compassionate activism, Trump-hating moral superiority, and determination to raise a feminist son, but it also betrays an underlying, misandrist panic that her son’s very nature is toxic and must be exorcised out of him.
“I’m painfully aware that my son is merely six years away from having more rights in America than I do,” she says, referring to the “privilege” of “bodily autonomy” she “lost” when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
So Hahn was “thrilled” that the smash summer movie Barbie, which has drawn widespread criticism among many conservatives for its heavy-handed feminist messaging, gave her the opportunity to educate her son about “the patriarchal American society we live in today.” As a former English teacher, she wishes “all teachers would assign their students to watch ‘Barbie’ in place of summer reading selections like ‘The Grapes of Wrath.’” She need not worry about that –there are plenty of activist educators who would eagerly swap out great literature from our cultural heritage for feminist propaganda. Hahn unwittingly makes a great case for homeschooling.
This isn’t the first time Hahn has worked on shaping a neo-Marxist worldview for her son. Happily embracing accusations of “woke” and “indoctrination,” Hahn states that she’s “been inoculating my son against hate for years.” As far back as the 2016 election victory of Donald Trump, which left her “sobbing on our family room couch in a suburb outside Washington, D.C.,” she “implored him to use his privilege to help” fight hate. He was eight years old.
But their fight is an uphill battle, because “we live in a country where white nationalism is on the rise, as are antisemitic incidents and anti-LGBTQ legislation,” she asserts. “We live in a country where women do not control our own bodies.” In the face of this medieval oppression, she adds defiantly that she is “fighting to raise a son who doesn’t become the next Kyle Rittenhouse, Brock Turner or Elon Musk.”
What an odd trio to hold up as examples of toxic patriarchy. The teenage Rittenhouse shot three (white) Black Lives Matter rioters, killing two of them in self-defense as they assaulted him and tried to take his weapon, with which they very possibly might have then killed him (the attackers were all men, by the way, but apparently Hahn considers left-wing rioting to be acceptable male behavior and self-defense to be toxic). Turner was a Stanford student convicted in 2016 of sexual assault, whose six-month sentence with three years’ probation and the lifetime label of “sex offender” sparked outrage. Billionaire Musk, of course, has essentially become Dr. Evil in the Left’s eyes after taking over Twitter and making it moderately less suppressive of conservative voices. These three don’t seem to have anything in common except that they are white males, but that’s damning enough in Hahn’s racist, misandrist perspective.
Anyway, so she took her son to see Barbie. “Sitting in a theater with my son and watching Ken ask Stereotypical Barbie (played by Margot Robbie) if she wants to have a sleepover offered me the opportunity to point out that consent is important and needs to be honored,” Hahn writes. She sounds like a fun movie companion. It’s a wonder her son didn’t slip away from her and into an adjoining theater where he could enjoy the latest testosterone-fueled entry in the Mission: Impossible franchise without the social justice hectoring from his embarrassing mom.
Hahn goes on to write,
We discussed how the frustration Ken feels at being left out of fun in Barbieland mirrors how women and other minorities feel in America today. Together, we laughed about Barbie and Ken’s trip to the “real world” and the Mattel corporate headquarters, where only men sit in the boardroom. I assured my son that it’s OK to feel slighted and want to be in charge. It’s understandable that after his return, Ken leads a revolt and tries to rewrite the Constitution to put Kens in power. I get it: I’m pretty mad there are only four female Supreme Court justices and a female vice president.
She’s angry that only about half the Supreme Court is female, and that a female is “only” vice president? What would it take to satisfy this woman that America is not a Handmaid’s Tale dystopia of crushing misogyny? Like all committed feminists, she is not looking for equality but for a world in which women dominate. She wants a future that is female, to paraphrase Hillary Clinton’s sexist campaign slogan. Is that the future she wants for her son?
Hahn goes on to lament, “To be voiceless or outnumbered is to be vulnerable ― and worse, too often it means being unable to succeed in a world where you don’t have the same rights or access to opportunities as others.”
What insufferable self-pity. Let me be clear, as Barack Obama was fond of saying: social media shadow-banning aside, no one in America is voiceless. Never in history have there been so many affordable opportunities to express oneself freely to the entire world, even if (or perhaps especially if) you belong to the most intersectional of the Left’s numerous victim categories. (The only people who could legitimately be considered voiceless are the poor of any color, whom society ignores because they have no cultural or political power to exploit.) The irony of Hahn complaining, in an opinion piece published at one of the biggest progressive outlets on the worldwide web, that she and her oppressed sisters are silenced and denied opportunities to succeed is completely lost on her, because she is so deeply enmeshed in her own treasured illusion of victimhood.
“I want my son to fully understand the message that ‘Barbie’ has emblazoned in front of us, because the patriarchy is real and too many people are suffering under it. And he can help change that,” she concludes.
Hahn adds that she intends to “keep teaching him about this messy world whenever I can.” The indoctrination does seem to be succeeding. She notes that she was pleasantly surprised one day when he commented “how messed up” the conservative boycott of Bud Light beer was in the wake of the self-inflicted mortal wound of its ad campaign featuring trans performance artist Dylan Mulvaney. His mother was pleased that “he understands his privilege and sees a world that desperately needs diversity.” What ideological blinders she wears, to believe that white males are inherently “privileged” in our current culture and that America lacks diversity.
One question that looms large over this depressing essay is, Where is the son’s father in all this? No mention at all is made of him or any male adult role model in this teenage boy’s life: not a father, a grandfather, an uncle, a trusted teacher or pastor, no one. The boy either has none or his mother has chosen not to include them in the story; either way, it is sadly revealing. For that matter, no sibling of either sex is mentioned, so we must presume he is the only child of a woman, likely a single mother, who clearly frets about her son’s masculinity.
I dissected Wendy Besel Hahn’s story at length not just to mock her but because it is far from unusual for feminist mothers to express their frustration, panic, and sometimes barely-concealed resentment over being saddled with raising a boy. In addition to a plethora of online advice about how to ensure that your son grows up to be a submissive feminist, there are articles like this 2016 Washington Post piece in which the author anguishes over the possibility that her two sons will contribute to “rape culture.” Then there is this one: “Why Am I So Sad About Having a Boy?” And this one: “I Am a Feminist Raising a Boy and I Am Scared,” in which the author states, “I am terrified I will raise a misogynist, contributing another male who is prejudice [sic] against women into our society.”
These progressive mothers (and feminist fathers too) see themselves as burdened or challenged with children whose “toxic” nature terrifies and disgusts them. No one in America is “suffering” under a patriarchy, as Hahn puts it, but too many sons are suffering for being treated by their feminist parents as a potential societal threat. It will take those boys years and maybe decades to liberate themselves from the indoctrination, if they escape it at all, or they will reject it (and their mothers) in a backlash that swings too far. Either way, it’s damaging and tragically emblematic of our feminized culture’s fear and loathing of masculinity.
Emasculating our sons is not the way to create a culture in which men respect and defend women, and in which both men and women function together in society as equally dignified children of God but in complementary fashion. The answer is not for feminist parents to brainwash boys and young men out of what makes them masculine, but to reject the false ideological assumptions of feminism altogether and give them moral and spiritual guidance that will channel that masculinity toward honorable ends. That is how our sons and daughters alike can thrive.

American made says
This is sane? Not
Jeff Bargholz says
No. Hahn is an obvious nut-job and what she’s subjecting her son to is child abuse.
Although if her son looks anything like the wussy in the photo above, he probably deserves it.
CowboyUp says
He looks like the guy in one of those “This is how I protect my virginity/My virginity is safe,” or “Forever Alone,” memes, lol.
vtg says
Yes! Before, there was one screwed up individual; now there are at least two(depending on how he proceeds with his life).
Nathan Z says
How he looks may also be the mother’s fault. The truth is he needs help, not condemnation for his looks. His masculinity is not toxic, No masculinity is toxic, neither is femininity. It’s bad behavior which is toxic, masculinity and femininity are both good, feminism is not.
From what I’ve observed of feminists, they often support abortion, which I view as demonic. They are often hateful towards men, (I think hate could be called demonic), and feminism can even turn women away from the Bible. I know for a fact that there are feminists who don’t want to accept the Bible (written by men) as God’s Word. It seems to me, even though a feminist may not admit it, feminism can become a religion for feminists. And how can it not be demonic if it’s turning women away from the one true God by whom they could be saved?
ron says
Can you imagine how awful it would be to have that for a mother.
Jeff Bargholz says
Worse than the Grendal mother.
bill says
Has she not heard of Taylor Swift who has become obscenely rich on a minor talent?
Kasandra says
I feel very sorry for the kid.
Mo de Profit says
Me too but he’s fifteen years old, the age when children rebel, the equivalent age when animals drive them out of the pack to avoid incest.
He should, by now, have the way with all to say NO THANKS.
JosieC says
That’s tough to do — at that age, and even older — when you have such a dominating, hovering mother who has brainwashed you from birth.
L says
That poor kid. First thing I thought when she said “took my 15 yr old son to the barbie movie”, where is the dad? NO teen boy wants to go to that with his mom, is he even allowed to make friends, it would seem he doesn’t have any, otherwise he’d have been mercessly mocked by them. This kid will grow up to have severe mommy issues, and will most likely choose an overbearing wife (if he gets one).
Jeff Bargholz says
I know, right? What 15 year old boy would want to see the “Barbie” movie? Not even many gay ones would. Hahn is obviously a domineering and resentful cunt but the son is a pussy. Misandry is evil.
Steve says
The difference is that he didn’t choose her. No tyranny can be as all encompassing as maternal tyranny- “the hands that rocks the cradle rules the world” That is literally true in the world of a small boy with a mother who hates everything male.
Kynarion Hellenis says
The hand that rocks the cradle will not produce anything but woosies if it engenders hatred of masculinity and the “messed up world” needs “diversity” for salvation.
Instead, inspire your sons to be warriors for truth, able to live in strong bodies directed by strong minds unafraid of righteous violence in preservation of what is innocent and good.
Women have had the reins of power now for quite a while and look where that has gotten us.
BJB AZ says
Then men really are wimps and wusses.
No, dear, men are equally at fault. You just aren’t man enough to admit it.
JosieC says
You’re right (first two paragraphs). But women holding positions of power isn’t the problem. It’s the KIND of women holding those positions, and their messed up thinking/worldview. There are women like Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Kari Lake. And then there are women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton…
JosieC says
Apparently Justin Trudeau’s teenaged son did. And he saw it with his dad (see the photos of them both wearing pink).
Jennifer DeFillippo says
They wore pink to see the Barbie movie. How utterly “feminist” of them. #gross
Eva says
Or one day, he’ll snap and kill his mother.
I wouldn’t blame him for that. In fact, I’d give him a medal.
BJB AZ says
Weakling that you are.
Jeff Bargholz says
“BJB?” “AZ.” Does that stand for “Blow Job Bitch in the Ass?”
Jeff Bargholz says
Obviously it does stand for that, otherwise two bitches wouldn’t have down voted me.
How are your hemmies? Do they hurt?
CowboyUp says
On the upside, he’s in high school, and probably none of the girls at that movie are out of elementary school. So he only has to worry about someone he knows, or their little sister, seeing him going in or out of that movie.
Most 15 year old girls wouldn’t wouldn’t be caught dead going into that one with or without mom.
thomas warwick says
Severe “mommy issues??????” This kid will transform either into Peewee Herman or a serial killer.
Steven Brizel says
This is what happens when feminist ideology becomes an ersatz set of.values in place of the traditional family
Steve says
Wendy Besel Hahn (pronouns she/her) wouldn’t love a genetically male offspring unless perhaps he were transmogrified into another Jazz Jennings. I wonder why (and how) she procreated with a male (was a sperm bank and a syringe involved?) and why she didn’t get a sex selective abortion since she fetishizes abortion so. BTW, no matter what age her son is, he will never have the right to legally abdicate paternal responsibilities simply because they’re inconvenient or inopportune-the idea of a “paper abortion” for men has been discussed and what’s interesting is that there is virtual consensus that any man who exercised such a right (in the unlikely evident it were ever legalized) is incredibly selfish and cruel-that consensus includes “pro-choice” feminists.
Onzeur Trante says
A vile hateful mother and her indoctrinated child. So sickening.
Kynarion Hellenis says
Where is dad? What did he ever find attractive in her? WHO would choose this woman to be the mother of his children?
Jeff Bargholz says
A milksop weakling, that’s who.
I’ll bet she’s the type who commands men to put the toilet seat down when she permits me them to use hers.
I had a bitch do that to me when I was young and I assured her twice that I would put the seat down because she wouldn’t shut up about it. And when I came out of the bathroom she had the insolence to ask me if I’d put the seat down. I assured that I had and left. But I had put the seat down BEFORE I whizzed and turned her purple fuzzy toilet seat cover into a pee target. It got onto the floor, too.
I never saw her again, thank God.
Jeff Bargholz says
Whoever down voted me sucks Satan’s fiery dick and balls.
Do they taste like Barbecue or franks and beans?
Tom says
You are a foul-mouthed vengeful ass who clearly has anger control issues. You are a stain on conservatism, if you actually do subscribe to it. You’ll continually be voted down if you behave like an out of control moron.
Kynarion Hellenis says
Tom –Jeff Bargholz is our very own Deadpool. He is smart, irreverent, and politically incorrect. He fearlessly uses his own name. His comments are thoughtful, but delivered in his own, unique, often very crude way. He obviously thinks very well of himself (in a healthy, jocular way) but he is also quick to admit when he is wrong or has made a mistake.
If he were to stop commenting, we would lose a treasure.
K.F. Smith says
Yeah, I think Jeff is pretty funny, and calls it as he sees it. As for a stain on conservatism, I’m rather have him on my side in a street fight with leftist bastards than some RINO trash who wants to make peace.
Kynarion Hellenis says
Imagining whom you would want to rescue you is a clarifying exercise. My family loves Star Trek, and one of my children once asked me if I would prefer Picard or Kirk in the event of catastrophe. I went with Kirk because he is less rules-bound and would be unrestrained by protocols, etc.
I decided Jeff was a force for good when someone made a comment to Daniel Greenfield about his daughter. I read the comment and it seemed off to me. I had an uneasy feeling about it. Jeff weighed in with something like “You threaten Daniel’s daughter and I will fucking kill you!” Jeff nailed it — it WAS off because it WAS a veiled threat and Jeff knew it instinctively. I think Daniel even replied with a terse “Thank you.”
Jeff Bargholz says
It’s funny that you contrast Kirk with Picard. (I love both characters.) I remember reading once about who would be more dangerous in a face off and somebody wrote that Picard would try diplomacy but “Kirk would just kill him..” I thought that was funny.
I grew up watching the original “Star Trek” reruns and still love that show.
There’s a new series about Captain Pike called “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” that’s pretty good. The second season is much better than the first one, which had too much “can’t we all just get along” nonsense. Anson Mount is great as Pike and Rebecca Romjin is too, as
Number One. (Chuckle. That’s what our parents had us call taking a pee when we were kids. You can guess what number two was.) 🙂 The guy who plays Dr. M’Benga is really good, too.
And you’re right. Veiled threats against people’s children are unacceptable.
BJB AZ says
So the worthless dad is just going to fade into the woodwork like a coward that he is?
wendy says
Probably either unknown Dad due to artificial insemination or the Dad is not allowed to be around him.
Jeff Bargholz says
Probably both. Hahn is a psycho.
Intrepid says
Wendy Besel Hahn is obviously insane and barely functional. Perhaps she should change her pronouns to she/it). Put them together and you get…..well you get the picture.
Kynarion Hellenis says
Right! And insist those pronouns always be used together!
K.F. Smith says
There is more hate in her home than any traditional American family will ever experience. It’s hate that motivates this woman, and hate she is attempting to infuse into her son. She should make sure there are NEVER any guns in the house.
Think I’ll get myself a beer and a cigar, listen to ‘The End’ by The Doors, followed by ‘Roadhouse Blues’, then go out and tell the young vikings just how great it is to be a heterosexual male.
Eat your heart out Wendy.
Capitalist-Dad says
This detestable Mommy Dearest is toxic to her son growing up to be a decent human being.
internalexile says
Wonder if the young man can even function sexually? No wonder AI sexbots and porn are so successful.

You know when your civilization is near the end when old school iron horseshoe throwing competition is replaced with “professional” pajama-boy era “corn hole” bean bag toss.
“Corn hole” was something else back in the day…. but I digress.

Corn hole is a very interesting choice of words for a game. Very gay.
Tom Kendrick says
I had to explain to my wife why I refuse to use the term “corn-hole” to describe a bean bag tossing game.
Jeff Bargholz says
“Corn hole.” I think of that term every time I hear about Bitch McCornhole, the Kentucky mud turtle.
john r butala says
I’ve read similar comments over the years from lunatic feminists who were determined to raise a feminist son.
Many of them gave their boys girls toys when they were very young to show that boys and girls toys were societal-driven. In short, they thought boys would love to play with dolls as much as girls,
Instead, most of the boys used the girls toys like baby buggies as assault weapons i.e. slingshots and did similar things with other girls toys.
The women failed miserably in making their young boys like girls toys.
They were trying to change human nature. Human nature can’t be changed.
Boys like boys toys: guns, swords, cars, trucks, building equipment, etc.
You have to feel sorry for boys with mothers like this deranged leftist ideologue.
CowboyUp says
I played with my sister’s dolls once, when I was 9 or 10. It was right after I learned how to tie a hangman’s noose. She came home to find her dolls hanging from her canopy bed.
Kynarion Hellenis says
My shortest and youngest son is 6’4″ and looks a lot like Chris Hemsworth in Thor. He was born extremely masculine and athletic. I have a picture of him in his sister’s tutu and pink princess high heels when he was about 2-years-old. It never bothered me that all my children did role playing like that – it is normal. Today, that son is grown. He is still very masculine, based and secure. That old photo is funny to him and all our family. I think lesser men would think twice about insulting him because his presence is very self-assured and intimidating.
Lightbringer says
When I gave my eldest son a realistic-looking baby doll in anticipation of the birth of his little brother, he put it away and showed no interest in it. But when he, little brother, and littlest brother got older and took it out of the closet one day, they had a great time beheading it. Kids are a bit strange; my husband and I just laughed and named the doll Marie Antoinette.
As to toy guns, they were banned in our house because there were a lot of real ones (responsibly secured), and the kids knew it. Guns were not toys to us, or if they were they were exclusively grownup toys. When the boys were old enough to hold my .22 carbine I taught them how to shoot, and how to handle a firearm safely. Recently my eldest son borrowed that .22 and took his own eldest son to a rifle and handgun range and showed him how to shoot it. The kid proved to be a natural — beautiful target. I’m so proud of him! But I’m not giving him my favorite rifle.
Kynarion Hellenis says
Brilliant naming of the beheaded doll. Very funny!
john r butala says
And judging by many of the comments below her article on HuffPost, many of the posters ridiculed her beliefs and attempts to portray herself as a living, feminist saint.
Tom Kendrick says
That broad is a nuckin futs child abuser.
David Mu says
Ah, Barbie – the current go to movie to display that you are programmed to hate men. My resident leftist is all in favor of the movie. Naturally he – he has been gone since 2016 when he discovered Donald Trump was all evil, and MUST be stopped. But – Barbie the movie is clearly the vehicle to get the feminist narrative into the minds of the young, the uninformed, and the true believer. Naturally, this woman (or is womyn?) felt the need to take her son to see this pink male-basting orgy.
I listened to my resident leftist praise of Barbie, and thought to myself – little boy, you need consulting. And little boy – you have never known a actual man. However, my resident leftist has not seen the movie. I count as a blessing that my resident leftist knows I would never been forced to view it myself. No need as I have watched feminist thought come out of its closet the male hatred that keeps the rage moving along in this war.
Outside of some who know this feminist thought is but a tool for the ‘revolution’, the rest are programmed tools to be used. When I listen to my resident leftist – I know there is no cure for these types. There is just stopping their disfunction from you, and yes – from your nation. Frankly, a way needs to open for me to remove myself from this idiot.
Kynarion Hellenis says
I am not going to pay money to see the movie, but it intrigues me sociologically. Many people believe Ryan Gosling’s Ken stole the show. You mention “the male hatred that keeps rage moving along” and I thought of a video of Ryan Gosling speaking of his role as Ken. It is entertaining and I can feel the simmering male hatred just below the surface. While you watch, it is fun to do a mental role reversal, imagining a woman explaining her supportive role to her man.
If the link does not make it through, search for “Ken Things Ryan Gosling Can’t Live Without GQ” Enjoy!
David Mu says
Indeed. I certainly won’t be watching this mess – ever. We don’t need too as, with the times being what they are, how could such a film be anyway other than a trashing of the male. Pity Gosling that he went along with it, but he must be one of the ones who believe they are seen by the feminist collective as being strong and brave.
Gosling is a fool, and this ought to end his career. It certainly ends him being seen by the majority of women as anything else besides a beta. These males are the worst – gay or straight. 🙂 The majority of women today especially won’t be ‘supportive’. But – that IS a whole other subject.
wendy says
I personally think Ken’s part was way over done so as to be satire to adult people with a brain.
David Mu says
Perhaps, but there again maybe not. I would suggest satire tends to need a adult mind to create and to be received. I see little of that in the left, and especially in the woke crowd.
I go more for the woke female need to see an ‘ideal’ male – and then to destroy it. What I have seen is the actual male remains wanted, but only on a more private level.
Jeff Bargholz says
The link worked for me. I could only watch a tiny bit of it, though. Gosling is just too irritating. Thank God my mother can’t force me to see that movie. I would probably commit suicide during the first fifteen minutes.
Kynarion Hellenis says
I know exactly what you mean! But I found Gosling’s little Ken explanation fascinating. He has to be Ken, but the way he explains Ken is very much like what an adoring wife would be like in early 20th century.
I had a very wealthy friend whose husband died in an accident. She hired a butler to help manage the household. I asked her what it was like, and she said, “It is like I have a loving wife.”
It might be me reading too much into the video, but I sense an undercurrent of rage with Gosling’s character.
David Mu says
You are wise and gracious. 🙂 And, actually a delight to read.
Lightbringer says
Given your resident leftist, have you considered changing your residence?
Mo says
“I’m painfully aware that my son is merely six years away from having more rights in America than I do,” she says, referring to the “privilege” of “bodily autonomy” she “lost” when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.”
That doesn’t even make sense. Males don’t have the legal right to murder. Why should females? Don’t they want equality? Then the laws prohibiting murder should be the same for both men and women.
That poor boy. My heart breaks for boys being raised by these demonic females.
Carolyn says
The only type of article I can imagine a mom.of a 15 year old kid writing is one where she fears he will become a porn addict and have all of his nervous architecture altered to his detriment and possibly suffer from PIED porn induced erectile dysfunction. When you hear about all these young guys having g it you wonder– where the heck where the parents??
Terrible for the individual and for society.
Jeff Bargholz says
Kids who watch lots of porn can’t get it up? That seems like the reverse of what should happen but I don’t have that problem so I don’t know.
Jim says
People are being taught to hate the other side by vilifying them and their ideas. Even if they are not bad people, mud slinging makes it seem as though they are. The real reason the far left supports this toxic feminism is that they regard women as useful idiots to be manipulated as another means of destroying traditional values and social ideals so that they can be reconstructed or reimagined by the far left, marching through the institutions to power over our society, laws and morals. It is not a matter of the right to abortion, that is just a means. And Trump is a good president, not a misogynist or antisemite or anything else the mudslingers accuse him of. The right is and does all the things it accuses its opponents of being and doing.
Hellhound says
Poor kid. Wendy Besel is an unhinged, brainwashed biotch !!!
BJB AZ says
Let’s have equal time for the men who hate women and even pretend to be women.
The sickness is the hatred of both men and women.
Truth: men and women are created to be complementary–to complete one another
as a unit.
Now comes the leftists to turn us against one another.
I swear, the “right” falls for the left’s poison and relishes it.
We should be working together against the left, not attacking male or female sex as toxic.
It’s the marxist ideology, not sex, that’s the enemy.
Clod Floogan says
Re: “marxist ideology . . . . BINGO!!!!
John says
How long will it take the kid to realize what an absolute cartoon character mess his Mom is? Let me guess they have no fewer than 5 cats. I hope he bemoans his white, masculine privileged fate when his career centers around the following phrase: “Would you like me to supersize that for you?” That gig will last until AI consumes every meaningless job that is part of today’s unemployment diversion program.
K.F. Smith says
Cats are great animals.
I know what you mean about the stereotypical “catlady.” But people like Wendy, as hateful as she is, the animosity doesn’t end with people; she probably hates animals too.
As for cats, when we had our dairy farm in upstate NY, we had a bunch of barn cats. They were mostly lost strays, some feral, who would just show up for some food and shelter., and stayed when they knew they had it good. We liked them all, some made their way into our house, and none of them would we give away. They had a good life. Had a few for 20 years or so. Had dogs, horses, and chickens also, and of course cows. Animals all over the place. But it’s easy to do that on a farm.
Lightbringer says
I have a couple of pet house cats who keep my yard clear of rodent pests, but barn cats more than earn their keep in that department. You might want to think about them more as co-workers than pets in your situation.

When I was 15 in 1962 my mom was only 41 but NO WAY would I go to a movie with mom by then ESPECIALLY Barbie … AND no way would she have forced me to.
Andrew Blackadder says
This ”woman” had sexual intercourse with a Man and so perhaps she hates ALL men because that one left her for whatever reason and so why didn’t she have an abortion as her type all seem to love that scene so perhaps she should find a nice muslim guy to teach her whats what as she is also the type that falls over themselves to protect and defend muslims.
I would not be surprised if she is over the Moon when her Son admits hes queer and wants to wear her knickers, after she has worn them.
Gaslit says
Curious? As a feminist does he insist on swimming on the girl’s swimming team – taking his penis into the women’s lockerroom where the “girls” ask him to leave and take his penis to the “boys” lockeroom where it belongs …… or is “his” pronoun “her” …… and the author is only temporarily misidentifying “her” as a “him” for the “convenience” of this article?
John Keating says
If here ever was a reason for a “birthing person” to be lobotomized, this is it. What an absolutely terrible being!
Quasimata says
When our son hit 12, he stopped wanting to hang with Mom, especially didn’t want public displays of affection. No way would he go to a movie like this, with or without a parental figure.
Forcing a teenager to something like that is abominable. That is abuse.

I’m an Orthodox Jew too and I’m not so sure that I approve your message. In fact I don’t like it a bit. Wanna step outside?

If her son has a brain seeing the movie might be the saving of him. All rational heterosexual conservative men (I repeat myself) should take their sons to see this evil bilge and expose to them the true nature of feminism

Sorry, but huge groups of teen girls were at the showing we saw. Did you see the movie? Over a billion $$ worth of people did. If you treated it as satire, it was hilarious. I think way too many critics and media wonks have pre-spun the plot in a woke direction. See it and decide for yourself–then shoot your mouth off.
