Anything can be coopted, by resistance or back by money and power again.
After watching it a few times, I now think Barbie is in fact a fantastic feminist film, but only if read *extremely* cynically. The ideological contradictions don’t undermine its message. The contradictions ARE the message

This is a v important report for Classics, UKHE and how we do EDI. Social class compounds other inequalities. Classics in partic has associations with elitism, despite much effort, but other arts and humanities have similar problems of access.
