There are some remarkable similarities between Ken and some men who are angry about Barbie. Noticeably they don’t get angry about Ken. Are they secretly part of the I am Ken movement?
In all the ranting and posturing about Barbie they steer clear of mentioning Ken. That is because Ken is special. Top of the ranting about Barbie chart we can find Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh . Ben Shapiro even resorted to burning his Barbie collection to project his manliness, but he didn’t burn Ken. For Ben, Matt and the others, Ken is their secret brother and friend. That is why they have styled themselves on Ken.
Why is Ken special?
Let’s get it out there straightaway. Ken is a beta male. Definitely not gay, but subservient to the needs of Barbie. That is the the attraction of Ken for Ben and Matt. They are beta males and empathise with Ken. By attacking Barbie they are sticking up for their secret friend.
We can see how Ben Shapiro has styled himself on Ken in the pictures below. Can you tell them apart?
Matt Walsh has styled himself on the more rugged looking Ken.
Just have to imagine the glasses.
Of course not every bloke ranting about Barbie has styled themselves on Ken.
