Barbie Girl

We took a girls' trip today to the movies to see the Barbie movie. I was only motivated by having an outing with just the two of us, I had no idea what the movie was about, but I was pleasantly surprised by the themes of film. It gave us great content to discuss the concepts of perfection/imperfection and feminism and the patriarchy amongst other things. It's tough growing up being a girl (and maybe it's even harder for her now that she's had a mom with breast cancer), but I hope that my bond with her can stay strong and she can grow up well in this world, with some love and hope.
