      It’s definitely self aware. It knows it’s messaging is overt and leans into that and builds the story around it.

      How was it not?.. The entire point of the movie was to show the obsurdity of the patriarchal society. First the men were the marginalized women, and then they became the embodiment of the patriarchy. Both showing how absurd it is. It was a little cartoonish but I think it made the point well and was self aware.

      Did you not get that the whole point was poking fun at the absurdity of the dynamics or what?

          To be honest, when I found out that patriarchy wasn’t about horses, I kinda lost interest.
