America Ferrera Instagram – @nytimes: What are your thoughts on the discourse that some people believe Gloria’s speech (in @barbiethemovie )oversimplifies feminism? Me: We can know things and still need to hear them out loud. It can still be a catharsis. There are a lot of people who need Feminism 101, whole generations of girls who are just coming up now and who don’t have words for the culture that they’re being raised in. Also, boys and men who may have never spent any time thinking about feminist theory. If you are well-versed in feminism, then it might seem like an oversimplification, but there are entire countries that banned this film for a reason. To say that something that is maybe foundational, or, in some people’s view, basic feminism isn’t needed is an oversimplification. Assuming that everybody is on the same level of knowing and understanding the experience of womanhood is an oversimplification.
