Shakira recently voiced her concerns about the ‘Barbie’ movie, revealing her sons’ strong disapproval of the film, which they found to diminish masculinity to a degree.
Amidst a peak period in her career following the release of ‘Las mujeres ya no lloran’, Shakira has faced speculation that her breakup with Piqué has influenced her music.
Nonetheless, she has concentrated on her career, setting aside personal matters to prioritize her musical ambitions and promoting her new album, which is poised to be a significant success despite reigniting past debates.
Engaging in promotional activities, Shakira shared her critical perspective on ‘Barbie’ during an interview with Allure magazine, where she didn’t shy away from criticizing the portrayal of gender roles in the film.
According to Shakira, her children, both boys, found the depiction in Greta Gerwig’s film, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, to be problematic, echoing their mother’s sentiments to an extent.
Shakira elaborated on striving for a balance where pop culture empowers women without undermining men’s roles, highlighting the importance of both genders feeling capable and respected. She advocates for a society where the unique contributions of men and women are acknowledged and celebrated, emphasizing mutual complementarity without sacrificing individual essence or strength.
