Shakira began a pristine debate on social media next calling the blockbuster movie Barbie ’emasculating.’
For the unversed, the Colombian singer just lately reviewed Margot Robbie’s starred film, revealing that her sons Milan, 11 and Sasha, 9, hated the trendsetter movie.
All over an interview with Attract, the Waka Waka singer confessed, “My sons absolutely hated it. They felt that it was emasculating. And I agree, to a certain extent.”
Shakira added, “I’m elevating two boys. I would like ‘em to feel powerful too [while] respecting women.”
The musician showered praise on the pop culture as it provides a platform where one can empower women without belittling men.
She shared ,”I believe in giving women all the tools and the trust that we can do it all without losing our essence, without losing our femininity.”
Shakira believes men and women have different purposes in society. She continued, “We complement each other, and that complement should not be lost.”
As the Hips Don’t Lie singer’s comments went viral online, some of Shakira’s fans defended whereas others called her remarks distasteful.
One fan wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter), “Shakira nailed the Barbie movie. She’ll most likely now face power to ask for forgiveness for this however she shouldn’t. Civilizations die whilst you emasculate males.”
Some other fan chimed in, “Women don’t owe femininity to anyone, not even themselves… what an awful take. disappointing.”
“Out of all the awful Barbie takes Shakira being the worst one was not something I ever imagined,” one fan mentioned.
