The 'Barbie' star opened up about the things the doll was allowed to do before women were, and how it potentially shaped what women thought was possible in an interview that went viral on TikTok.

In a viral clip posted to TikTok by IGN, Margot Robbie revealed how Barbie was a trailblazer for feminism, and her reasoning is on point.

In the video, Robbie - sitting next to her costar, Ryan Gosling (he's just Ken) - explained:


"Barbie went to the moon before women were allowed credit cards."
"And... Barbie did all this stuff at a time when they could not have any financial autonomy in their lives."

She continued:

"... Surely that infiltrated our collective mind in some way, and made us go, 'Hmmm.'"
"I want a dream house. I want my own house. I want my own car."
"I want to do whatever job I want to do."

Robbie finished her thought:

"Anyway, that got deep."

She then asked Gosling if he had a "quick, fun" response to which he replied:

"No. That was amazing."

Check out the clip below.

Others expressed their dismay upon realizing it wasn't too long ago women gained these rights, either.

Even Trump's NASA Director Had To Set Kim Kardashian Straight After She Said The Moon Landing 'Didn't Happen'

Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax—and Kardashian certainly made it clear where she stands in a video speaking to co-star Sarah Paulson on the set of the new Hulu drama All’s Fair.

Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, was speaking with Fox News host Jesse Watters when he donned a face mask and said he'd be going as a "r**ard" for Halloween. Watters had guessed he was dressed as Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who spearheaded the nation's COVID-19 pandemic response.
