Badly worded, my main take away to see it again, I do see past Ken. And like you say, if you're witnessing people saying that Ken made the movie then that's the exact problem I'm conveying.

Thanks for the clarification. I think the reason so many men think the movie is about Ken is due to them ignoring the feminist themes in the movie, rather than a fault of the movie making Ken too much of a focus. He was absolutely hysterical, but the humor felt superficial—the focus was still on how a matriarcal or patriarchal society is severely flawed.
