Screen Rant says a woman, named Barbara “Barbie” Oppenheimer, recently spoke about watching both Barbie and Oppenheimer. She is related to J. Robert Oppenheimer by marriage.
Barbara says she enjoyed both films and cannot choose a favorite. “That would be really hard! They’re so different. I think of myself—though I’m sure I’ve fallen behind the times—as a feminist, because of the generation I came out of. So I was tickled pink, I might say, that they put Barbie in the Barbie world and then Barbie in the real world. I laughed out loud practically through the whole thing. Oppenheimer is more serious—not that feminism isn’t. I do think there were some serious notes … women today stand on the shoulders of their mothers, who lived the Barbie life. I can’t choose. I’m glad I saw both.”

Dear Fonseca
My daughter's preschool is most likely going to make headlines because a teacher spanked my daughter and another child. They were acting up and not listening so they were lightly spanked. The other mother is planning to protest and is outraged. I am not. My kid was out of line so I'm glad the teacher spanked her. She deserved it. The other mother says I'm a fool and a bad parent for allowing someone else to discipline my kid. I disagree. It wasn't 'someone else' it was a teacher keeping her in line. Do you agree with the other parents' assessment of me? Should I be upset that the teacher spanked my child? Whose side are you on?
