Since reading about “Barbie’s” hot-pink arrows deflating a few male egos with its abrasive-as-a-pillow-fight takedown of the patriarchy, I think it’s time I unload my pettiest grievance against Hollywood.
My most serious critique of films in general centers on the lazy objectification and stereotypical portrayals of women, and the lack of screen time and substantive dialogue given to female actors, particularly to women of color.
