from Poll Hub · host Lee Miringoff, Barbara Carvalho, Jay DeDapper, Mary Griffith, Emily Dupointe, Delaney Hayes, Eve Fisher
Barbie is the hottest movie of the summer AND a battle in the culture wars. For this segment, we kicked the men out of the studio so the women on our team could talk about the journey Mattel's doll has made throughout the years. The intergenerational panel talks about the movie's themes of gender roles and feminist perspectives. And, as the movie faces mixed reviews, we hear reactions from the women on the Poll Hub team on which parts of the movie resonated with -- or confused them -- the most as well as their personal anecdotes surrounding Barbie dolls.Then, we bring the men back for a fun fact on a quality a majority of women find to be important in a husband. Don't worry-- it can easily be learned!
