Woman cancels date after man refuses to wear pink to see the Barbie movie

A woman has cancelled her date after he refused to wear pink to the Barbie movie.

She took to Reddit’s ‘Am I The A**hole’ forum to say how excited she was about seeing Greta Gerwig’s film that has taken the world by storm.

“The Barbie movie means a lot to me, I’ve been looking forward to this movie for so long,” she wrote on social media.

“I’ve asked my boyfriend to go to the cinema with me, both dressed in pink. It would show that he supports me, and it’d just be fun.”

She continued: “I told him wearing pink is minimum effort, he says minimum effort is him coming along to the movie. AITA for finding this unreasonable?”

The woman added that she wanted to make a whole event out of it, such as taking pictures at the booth in their matching outfits.

“The pics would be for our eyes only, not social media,” she continued.

“We’ve decided to cancel the date since the mood is already ruined. Despite what the title says, we’ve made this decision together.”

She added that she wasn’t ‘asking for a lot’ and merely wanted him to unleash his inner Regina George to wear a pink shirt.

The anonymous woman said if the roles were reversed and he asked her to wear one of those Oppenheimer hats to the cinemas, she would do it in a ‘heartbeat’.

However, many on social media sounded off in the comments, siding with her date.

According to many, he was ‘Kenough’ pink or not.

One person said: “Don’t pressure your partner into something you know is not comfortable for them. If they say no, respect and move on.”

Another commented: “Isn’t it enough that he agreed to watch the movie?”

A third said: “Why is he forced to wear something he doesn’t want to? Wouldn’t someone be upset that a partner is forcing them to wear something they don’t want to?”

But some claimed that man should’ve just complied.

One person said: “Bro just wear pink. It’s Barbie.”

While another chimed in: “Him not doing it shows how fragile his masculinity really is. Imagine letting a colour make you feel un masculine LMAOOO.”

Barbie is turning into a very interesting way to work out whether people are compatible with one another.

The movie has sparked a lot of outrage amongst some people for being ‘anti-male’, even though the director says this isn’t the message.

This reaction and Barbie’s positive feminist messaging in the movie has led some people to use it as a way to gauge their relationship.

Essentially, ask your boyfriend or the man you’re dating if he wants to see Barbie, and then note his reaction.

It asks: “How does he react when you tell him you want to go with him? What are his thoughts on why certain things are happening in the movie?” Among the questions was also: “What are his thoughts on how Ken was portrayed?”

People are then told to see what the reaction is and go with your heart.

MY FUTURE MOTHER-IN-LAW EXPECTED LUXURY GIFTS TO “WELCOME” ME INTO THE FAMILY—SO I GAVE HER A GIFT SHE’LL NEVER FORGET When my future mother-in-law, Denise, discovered I had inherited $500,000 from my late grandmother, her attitude toward me suddenly became a lot warmer. One evening, just before the wedding, she pulled me aside with a smile that reminded me of someone who had just uncovered a juicy secret. “I have something for you, sweetheart,” she said, handing me an envelope. I opened it, thinking it might be a heartfelt message. Instead? It was a list. A list of demands. A Cartier bracelet “to symbolize love and gratitude.” A luxury watch for her husband. A car for my fiancé’s sister. And a $2,000 monthly “family contribution” as proof of my commitment. I couldn’t believe my eyes. “Are you serious?” I asked. Denise’s smile didn’t falter. “This is how things work in our family. You’re fortunate to have this money—showing us you’re serious about being part of our family is important.” Anger bubbled up inside me. My grandmother had passed away, and here was Denise, treating my inheritance like it was a winning lottery ticket. She sealed her fate when she added, “If you truly love my son, you’ll do this.” I didn’t argue. I didn’t shout. Instead, I smiled and said, “Oh, Denise, you’re absolutely right. Family supports one another.” Her eyes gleamed with excitement. I spent the next few days preparing. That Sunday, I returned with beautifully wrapped gifts. One by one, I handed them out to the family members. Denise’s hands shook with anticipation as she opened her special box. Then she screamed— “WHAT IS THIS?!” ⬇️⬇️⬇️

MY WIFE LEFT ME AND OUR CHILDREN AFTER I LOST MY JOB – TWO YEARS LATER, I ACCIDENTALLY MET HER IN A CAFÉ, AND SHE WAS IN TEARS When my wife, Anna, walked out the door with nothing but her suitcase and a cold “I can’t do this anymore,” I was left clutching our 4-year-old twins in one hand and my shattered dignity in the other. Losing my job had hit me hard, but her departure? That was the final blow. She didn’t look back, leaving me to figure out life for the three of us. The first year was hell. Unemployment checks barely covered rent, and I juggled late-night gigs to keep the lights on. My kids were the only reason I kept going—their hugs and “We love you, Daddy” were my lifeline. By the second year, things changed. I landed a solid IT job, moved into a cozy apartment, and even started hitting the gym. We weren’t just surviving; we were thriving. Slowly, I rebuilt our life. Then, two years to the day after Anna left, I saw her again. I was at a café, working on my laptop, when I spotted her in the corner. Tears were streaming down her face. For a moment, I froze. This was the woman who abandoned us at our lowest. She sensed me staring, looked up, and recognition flickered. I approached her, stunned, and asked, “ANNA, WHAT HAPPENED?” Full story in 1st comment 👇

THEY THINK I’M JUST A “COWGIRL BARBIE”—BUT I RUN THIS WHOLE DAMN RANCH I don’t usually get riled up about strangers, but today? I damn near snapped. It started at the feed store. I was picking up mineral blocks and fencing wire, wearing my usual—mud-caked boots, faded jeans, and yeah, my long blonde braid tucked under a beat-up ball cap. The guy at the counter gave me this look like I was lost. Asked if I needed directions to the gift shop. I said, “Nah, just here to buy the same stuff I’ve been buying every week for ten years.” He laughed. Laughed. Then he asked if my “husband” would be loading the truck. I told him my husband left five years ago and the cows didn’t seem to care. I run 240 acres on my own. Fix broken water lines, birth calves at 2 a.m., haul hay like it’s nothing. But people still see the blonde hair and the woman part and just… assume. Even my neighbors treat me like I’m playing rancher. Roy, the guy across the creek, keeps “checking in” on my fences like I didn’t graduate top of my ag science class. He’ll say things like, “Don’t overwork yourself, sweetheart.” Meanwhile, I patched his busted water line last winter in the middle of a snowstorm. I try to let it roll off, but it builds up. You get tired of proving yourself twice just to be seen as half capable. Then today, after all that, I got home and found a letter nailed to my barn door. No stamp. No return name. Just a folded-up note that said one thing: “I know what you did with the west pasture.”⬇️
