 A woman in a movie has a vagina and goes for a routine medical exam. Somehow, this is interpreted as the movie saying "all real women have vaginas".

I actually can't remember the text for sure, but from what i remember Barbie doesn't wish to be "real" because she already is real. She wishes to be human.

yes that is the text congratulations to you guys on watching the movie

the subtext whether intentional or not is that having a vagina and seeing a gynecologist is akin to your job interview for womanhood. that's the weird part. that's the faint hint of jk rowling politics that the people talking about it being off in tone compared to the rest of the more mainstream liberal diet woke perspective of the rest of the movie, are referring to
It is very clear that she is a woman throughout the entire movie, including when she does not have a vagina.
