Part of getting older is realizing how absolutely insane it is that basically every form of media is constantly trying to convince us that the most interesting moments of the lived human experience are happening in HIGH SCHOOL…… girl who gives a flying fuck what 16 year olds are doing.

of course movies are supposed to make you feel something it’s just that greta gerwig’s filmography manages to somehow specifically activate the exact state of my brain in seventh grade when i realized that my cishet girl peers were having life experiences that i could not ever be included in or understand because they were cishet girls and i wasn’t. sad!

#interesting i need 2 mull over this#my colleague asked me what i thought of the montage of ~womanhood in barbie and i told him#it didn’t feel like ;;; it captured the diversity of womanhood as we understand it.#it was coded like it Encompassed but it didn’t feel encompassing of my experience
