A woman yelled at me for checking my watch during the Barbie movie. The whole theater felt cult like.

I was worried about a deadline I had for something I had to write. I checked my watch during one of the many preachy scenes of the movie and a woman behind me scolded me and said “pay attention!” I was kind of irritated and no one said anything to her for yelling out during a movie.

I have always had respect for women and even took care of the woman who abused me when she got old and sick. Sometimes when women scream patriarchy at me without knowing anything about me, it feels very abusive. It’s also socially acceptable apparently.
