Shakira is criticized for sexist 'speech'

 

The singer called the 'Barbie' movie 'castrating'…

In a new interview with "Allure" magazine, Shakira, who is promoting her new album "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran", revealed during the conversation that her children Milan and Sasha Piqué did not like the movie "Barbie."

He touched on the subject of the film when the person responsible for the interview told him that a researcher told him that in a country like Colombia, men tend to be related to power, while women are related to beauty, so he asked Your opinion.

“I heard that by 2030, 60% of the world's wealth will be managed by women,” Shakira responded.

Then they asked her if she had seen the movie "Barbie", and without wanting to cause controversy, the singer confirmed that she had seen it and that she and her children did not like the Greta Gerwig film.

"I saw her. My kids absolutely hated it. They felt she was emasculating. And I agree, to a certain extent," she began by saying.

“I am raising two children. I want them to feel powerful around women too. “I like pop culture when it tries to empower women without depriving men of their ability to be men, to protect and also be a provider,” explained the Colombian.

Shakira added that women can achieve different goals while still being feminine.

“I believe in giving women all the tools and the confidence that we can do everything without losing our essence, without losing our femininity,” she explained.

“I think men have a purpose in society and women also have another purpose. We complement each other and this complement should not be lost… Why not share the burden with people who deserve to carry it?”

But not everyone supported Shakira's statements and this generated a debate on the web.

Another user was more critical of the artist: «Shakira sexist? The one who almost only collaborates with men? The one about an anti-abortion song? The one where she was attracted to a soccer player with only one neuron? The one where she always expresses admiration for her father and rarely mentions her mother?”

Another follower commented: «Two months ago feminists put Shakira on a pedestal for “not crying and making money”, today feminism cancels her just because as a mother of 2 children she didn't like Barbie... Finally, the hypotenuse.»
