The Barbie Movie sparks plenty of discussion
/We’ve certainly had plenty of conversations over here about the Barbie movie. Lots of feels. Lots of quotes flying between our team members. Lots to think about when it comes to gender roles, patriarchy, inclusion, justice, and identity. Actually we could probably explore the whole More Than Sex-Ed curriculum using Barbie as the discussion starter.
So I was really happy to find this blog post by gender specialist Rebecca Minor, with such great discussion questions that you can use to start your own conversations with the kids in your life.
Rebecca holds a master’s degree in social work and works extensively in the field of gender identity. You can subscribe to her blog here:
