Star Wars did Just As Much Damage as Disney Princesses

Does it seem like men feel kind of entitled to sex? Does it seem like they react to rejection with the maturity of a child being denied a toy?

Well, you have to keep in mind that what men learn as kids is really hard to deprogram as an adult. And what they learned as kids is that males are each owed, and will eventually be awarded, a beautiful woman.

we have Star Wars where Luke starts out getting Princess Leia (in The Empire Strikes Back), but then as Han Solo became a fan favorite, George Lucas realized he had to award her to him instead (forcing him to write the "She's secretly Luke's sister" thing into Return of the Jedi, even though it meant adding the weird incest vibe to Empire).

The woman, of course, has no say in this -- compatibility doesn't matter, prior relationships don't matter, nothing else factors in. If the hero accomplishes his goals, he is awarded his favorite female.

Yes, there will be dialogue that maybe makes it sound like the woman is having doubts, and she will make noises like she is making the decision on her own. But we, as the audience, know that in the end the hero will "get the girl," just as we know that at the end of the month we're going to "get our paycheck." Failure to award either is breaking a societal contract.

The girl can say what she wants, but we all know that at the end, she will wind up with the hero, whether she knows it or not.

Yes, the women in these stories are being portrayed as wonderful and beautiful and perfect. But remember, there are two ways to dehumanize someone: by dismissing them, and by idolizing them.
