If you were questioning
if the patriarchy is still strong,
the Oscar nominations this year
are proof
that women continue
to be discriminated.
Openly.
And obviously.
Barbie was one of the top
grossing movies of the year.
I didn’t truly enjoy it
yet even I have to admit
it was creatively a masterpiece.
It was innovative
and different
and people responded to it.
Yet Margot Robbie who played Barbie
didn’t receive an Oscar nomination.
Greta Gerwig, the director
and the creative force behind the movie,
didn’t receive an Oscar nomination.
You know who DID receive
an Oscar nomination?
Ryan Gosling who played Ken.
Yep, the guy got the nomination.
F*ck the patriarchy.
It is still strong.
And yes, it is impacting
your female-run business.
Likely in more ways
than you believe.
Succeed despite them.
