"Unpacking the Controversy: Barbie, Oscars, and the Suffering of Women"

Social media users criticize the attention given to the Oscars snub of the Barbie movie, highlighting the suffering of Palestinian women and girls during the Israeli onslaught on Gaza. They argue that the focus on Hollywood's selective feminism neglects the dire situation faced by Palestinian women, who lack access to basic hygiene essentials and are resorting to using tent scraps as makeshift sanitary pads. Critics also slam former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for offering words of consolation to the Barbie movie's director and lead actress, accusing her of selective activism and neglecting to show sympathy for the thousands of women and girls killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.
