The Barbie Movie and the Scapegoating and Hatred of Beautiful Women | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 95

Hi friends! In this episode of the Secrets of a Witch podcast, I discuss some of my initial thoughts about the Barbie movie (I know, I’m also shocked I watched it)! A lot of analyses have been circulating but in my own commentary I focus on the widespread scapegoating and hatred of beauty, and symbols of beauty, whether they be dolls or real life human beings. I also discuss triggers, and how strange it is that people will deal with their own triggers or insecurities by hating a doll or by hating women they are threatened by or would like to be. I discuss a few other elements of the film as well. I hope you’ll listen, and that what I say will be at least somewhat thought provoking!
