Comedian Marc Maron called out the men who took offense to the āBarbieā movieās feminist elements.
On Tuesday, Maron, 59, took to his TikTok page to share his review of the movie, which he deemed āa f****ing masterpiece.ā
In his video, he slammed men who were not thrilled with director Greta Gerwigās portrayal of them in the film.
āThe 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 ā-. It is so embarrassing for them,ā Maron said.
He continued attacking their manhood and throwing jabs by calling them āa bunch of f****ing insecure babies.ā
āAny dude that canāt take those hits in that movie, theyāve really got to look in their pants and decide what theyāre made of,ā he asserted.

This came after Elon Musk, CEO of X, formerly known as Twitter, noted the filmās continual mention of the word patriarchy.
āIt (sic) you take a shot every time Barbie says the word āpatriarchy,ā you will pass out before the movie ends,ā he wrote on the platform.
Daily Wireās Ben Shapiro also expressed the same sentiments stating the āBarbieā movie āunironically uses the word āpatriarchyā more than 10 times,ā via the outlet.
In a review by The Conversationās Harriet Fletcher, she praised the movie for āexposing how damaging patriarchal ideology is to society.ā
āWhile 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: itās not a Barbie doll that threatens womenās rights, opportunities and safety ā itās the patriarchy,ā she continued.
Furthermore, Fletcher called the movie āone of the most surprising and daring films of the year.ā
āWhat could have been a frivolous flop succeeds in being a substantial, important and poignant piece of filmmaking ā as well as tremendous fun to watch,ā she added.
