Shakira's Sons 'Absolutely Hated' The 'Barbie' Movie For Being 'Emasculating'

"Barbie" might have been one of the biggest movies of the past year but not everyone's a fan of the global blockbuster. Shakira's kids are among them.

The Colombian singer is gracing the cover of Allure magazine this April wherein she talked about her past relationships, her music, her kids and feminism. When asked about her thoughts on the Greta Gerwig-directed hit, Shakira didn't think twice about sharing her unpopular opinion.

"My sons absolutely hated it. They felt that it was emasculating," the 47-year-old singer told the magazine.

Shakira said she agrees with her sons "to a certain extent" as she feels the movie had to put men down to empower women.

"I want [my sons] to feel powerful too [while] respecting women," she added.

"I like pop culture when it attempts to empower women without robbing men of their possibility to be men, to also protect and provide."

She added that she wants women to be given "the tools and the trust" to believe they can do anything "without losing our femininity."

"I think that men have a purpose in society and women have another purpose as well. We complement each other, and that complement should not be lost," the mom of two sons said. 

Shakira's thoughts on the "Barbie" movie isn't common, especially with how huge the film has gone and how the world has celebrated it as a powerful voice of feminism.

The film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as the beloved plastic dolls Barbie and Ken, has earned $1.45 billion at the global box office.

It also won several awards, including Best Original Screenplay at the Critics' Choice Awards, Cinematic and Box Office Achievement at the Golden Globes, and an Oscar for Best Original Song for "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell.

However, Shakira isn't the only one who felt the movie was emasculating. Comedian Bill Maher called the movie "preachy, man-hating, and a zombie lie."

"Truth is, I'm not the one who's out of step -- I'm living in the year we're living in. Barbie is fun, I enjoyed it -- but it IS a #ZombieLie," he added, explaining that a "zombie lie" is something that used to be true but no longer is.

As for Shakira, she recently released a new album, "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran," with 16 tracks including collaborations with Cardi B, Karol G and Grupo Frontera.
