Women around the world are taking their boyfriends to see “Barbie” in hope of answering one fundamental question: Is he “Kenough”?

Across social media, many women have been encouraging one another to use the movie as a litmus test to gauge whether their male dates can understand, or are at least receptive to, its feminist messaging.

Nicole Hoefler, a 32-year-old woman from Cologne, Germany, said she calls it the “Barbie test.”

“It’s like the new question on a first date or your dating profile: ‘What are your thoughts on the Barbie movie?’” she said. “Because if a guy really doesn’t want to see it or he’s not open to talking about it or, what’s even worse yet, if he’s seen it and he thinks it’s not a good movie or he doesn’t get the point, I think it’s kind of a no-go.”

To her pleasant surprise, her boyfriend passed with flying colors. Hoefler, who shared her boyfriend's reaction to the film on TikTok, said she had originally planned to glam up in a pink dress and enjoy the movie alone because she didn’t expect him to be interested in “Barbie” — until he asked to join her, digging up a baby pink shirt to match her outfit.

She and several other women who spoke with NBC News said watching “Barbie” felt like seeing their everyday experiences showcased on the big screen. But Hoefler said that after having heard so many men react to the movie defensively, she felt lucky to have a partner who actively wanted to discuss the impacts of patriarchy afterward.

“He just confirmed many things I always knew, like his empathy and how emotionally intelligent he is,” Hoefler said. “I think it’s easy for a woman to understand the movie, but I never expected him to get everything at this level.”

An invitation to view the movie would be a red flag, she probably has a jar in her purse to carry your balls, find another woman. Look for a woman that has her own mind, and a sharp mind.

As usual, Gene hit the nail on the head.

Luckily, Mrs. Stogie saw the news coverage of the movie and said "That looks like the dumbest movie ever."

She is a keeper.

‘What are your thoughts on the Barbie movie?’”

Needs more special effects

" what’s even worse yet, if he’s seen it and he thinks it’s not a good movie"

Um, YEAH. Why would any guy want to see a pink movie about a doll from his lady's childhood.
Lets go see G.I. Joe, and if you don't want to go enthusiastically, you're not the one for me... d'oh!

"until he asked to join her, digging up a baby pink shirt to match her outfit."

Turn in your man card right now. Hell, he should've turned it in when he bought the shirt AFAIC.

Any truth to the rumor that free tickets are being given away with Tesla wet fart updates?

It took 105 years, but Germany has now officially been pacified.

Where’s the Left on this one? A whole movie on White/Pink Priviledge?

When is a Karen’s movie coming out?

Why a woman would want a pole smoker for a boyfriend/husband is beyond me.
