Feminists Tell Women: Take Your Men to the Barbie Film. If They Don't Understand Its Anti-Male Message, Dump Them.

Honestly you'd be doing them a favor.

[The movie has] broken hearts on social media with scores of women telling their partners: 'You don't understand the Barbie movie? Then, you're dumped.'

The American family-friendly film about a doll that comes to life -- bursting with jokes and glitzy dance numbers -- has become a benchmark for TikTok users to judge the suitability of their partner.

Women are being urged to ditch men who do not understand the film's messages on feminism and patriarchy.

The craze has been driven by TikTok users who insist that agreeing with the feminist themes in the Barbie film, 'should be standard in a relationship'.

One wrote: 'Take your boyfriends to the Barbie movie and if they hate it, dump them.' Another said in a video liked 800 thousand times: 'I think taking your boyfriend to Barbie should be your relationship test to decide if he's a good long-term partner.'

Another said: 'I think it's perfectly reasonable for women to break up with their boyfriends for their [negative] reaction to the Barbie movie.'

One woman even cancelled her first date after the man refused to wear pink to see the film.

She's picking out his wardrobe on a first date?

Pass.

She told TikTok they had to make an event out of the cinema trip by wearing pink outfits and posing for photos together.

He refused to cooperate and she called off the date.

Her confession on social media was met with adoration from other women who said: 'If his masculinity is so fragile he can't wear pink when it's important to you for a single night, you need a new man because that's a boy.'

Others admit the film has determined how they see their partners.

One woman said on TikTok: 'I feel like I'm the a******* for letting the Barbie movie affect my relationship and the way I see my boyfriend. Friends have been telling me I shouldn't let it alter the way I view my boyfriend because our relationship is really healthy.'

Andre from Midnight's Edge did announce that this was a "break-up movie" designed to break couples up when he first saw it.
