Shakira likes pop culture when it empowers women without robbing men of being men

[Teletubby 115,040]

Allure Magazine: “Did you watch the movie Barbie?”

“I watched it, yeah” - said Shakira
Long pause.

“My sons absolutely hated it. They felt that it was emasculating. 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.”

“Just because a woman can do it all doesn’t mean she should?”

“Why not share the load with people who deserve to carry it, who have a duty to carry it as well?”

This is part of the Shakira Paradox. Women deserve all the power, all the agency, and all the sexiness they wish to embody or express. And yet it doesn’t betray her brand of feminism to expect men to man up.

Everyone enjoys different kinds of dynamics in a relationship and in a life partner. Sue me (her) but she’s not completely wrong

Empower yourself to pay taxes sis

She also likes pop culture when it empowers women without making them pay taxes

 

 

The whole statement is strongly giving "I'm not like other girls" vibes

I mean, to a certain extent I can understand what she's saying. Young boys see a lot of messaging empowering women and girls, and they don't really understand why they're left out. They don't understand sexism and misogyny. So, that's on our education system and parents to teach them why they're left out, but I think young boys need just as much care in their development into thoughtful, emotional humans and young adults. Mental health in men is so neglected and so taboo still. Men are also the victims of patriarchy, we can't forget.
