Shakira was not one of the many 'Barbenheimer' enthusiasts last summer. She recently revealed to Allure that she wasn't a fan of Greta Gerwig's modern retelling of the plastic doll, and explained that her sons didn't enjoy the movie and that she also didn't feel like it fit with her version of feminism.
“My sons absolutely hated it. They felt that it was emasculating," Shakira shared. "And I agree, to a certain extent. I'm raising two boys. I want 'em to feel powerful too [while] respecting women. I like pop culture when it attempts to empower women without robbing men of their possibility to be men, to also protect and provide. I believe in giving women all the tools and the trust that we can do it all without losing our essence, without losing our femininity. I think that men have a purpose in society and women have another purpose as well. We complement each other, and that complement should not be lost.”
