The messages got from it are:

"the patriarchy" is not a good thing, but even the idealized "the matriarchy" has problems too, and whatever we have going on right now isn't really working

a man's value is inherent to himself, it doesn't come from a job or a relationship. (I suppose this applies to women too, but it was Ken who had to learn this lesson).

Men need to support each other more rather than compete with each other

Societal expectations for women are impossible to attain

Unfortunately the movie for me was ruined in the end when they decided to make Barbieland a matriarchy once again.

After both systems failed it would have made sense for them to work and rule together. The sad part is that the movie seemed to work towards that outcome until the very end.
