Comedian Marc Maron called out the men who took offense to the ā€œBarbieā€ movie’s feminist elements.

On Tuesday, Maron, 59, took to his TikTok page to share his review of the movie, which he deemed ā€œa f****ing masterpiece.ā€

In his video, he slammed men who were not thrilled with director Greta Gerwig’s portrayal of them in the film.

ā€œThe comedy about men is inspired. And the fact that certain men took offense to the point where they, you know, tried to build a grift around it in terms of their narrative is right-wing —-. It is so embarrassing for them,ā€ Maron said.

He continued attacking their manhood and throwing jabs by calling them ā€œa bunch of f****ing insecure babies.ā€

ā€œAny dude that can’t take those hits in that movie, they’ve really got to look in their pants and decide what they’re made of,ā€ he asserted.

This came after Elon Musk, CEO of X, formerly known as Twitter, noted the film’s continual mention of the word patriarchy.

ā€œIt (sic) you take a shot every time Barbie says the word ā€˜patriarchy,’ you will pass out before the movie ends,ā€ he wrote on the platform.

Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro also expressed the same sentiments stating the ā€œBarbieā€ movie ā€œunironically uses the word ā€˜patriarchy’ more than 10 times,ā€ via the outlet.

In a review by The Conversation’s Harriet Fletcher, she praised the movie for ā€œexposing how damaging patriarchal ideology is to society.ā€

ā€œWhile the film obviously appeals to women, it is men who really need to watch it. Barbie makes a point that Leicester Square-megaphone-man really needs to hear: it’s not a Barbie doll that threatens women’s rights, opportunities and safety – it’s the patriarchy,ā€ she continued.

Furthermore, Fletcher called the movie ā€œone of the most surprising and daring films of the year.ā€

ā€œWhat could have been a frivolous flop succeeds in being a substantial, important and poignant piece of filmmaking – as well as tremendous fun to watch,ā€ she added.
