Malala Yousafzai has already seen Barbie, and her opinion about the movie divided opinions on the Internet, although not as much as her partner’s response…
The activist shared on social networks a photograph of her with her husband Asser Malik in the famous Barbie box, through which she boasted the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to her in 2014. “This Barbie has a Nobel Prize… He’s just Ken,” she wrote.
But that was not all, Malala, applauded the plot of the film directed by Greta Gerwing, which highlights a feminist speech. “We loved the movie; it was so funny and thoughtful. I hope this title doesn’t hurt all the Kens so much,” she added.
The Nobel Prize winner‘s comment was not to many people’s amusement, as they felt she was mocking her partner.
The Internet “Defended” Malala’s Partner
However, Asser Malik didn’t take it like the rest as instead of being offended, he responded with great humor: “I am Kenough.” The comment of the partner of the activist defender of women’s rights in the world sparked a controversy.
Some caught the movie reference and shared the laughter with him, while others thought they should “defend” him by advising him to stay away because if she doesn’t value him it is a “red flag.” “Bro, get out of there, love yourself, prince,” “What a public humiliation,” “She humiliated you,” and “Dude, open your eyes,” can be read among the comments.
Asser’s response caused a stir on social networks, almost like the plot of Barbie, which has made several men uncomfortable, exposing their fragile masculinity. Many were offended by Malala’s comment; what we do not know is that she and her partner could have planned it, even his response, just to see the reaction of users on the Internet.
