DA

De-lurking after reading the first link to thank you for them.

And while that one was mostly about the effects of presenting women as immature, this part felt very relevant to the way Han (particularly) treated Leia in Star Wars.

"The subtle hint when men ‘girlify’ women in high power situations is to put across a very simple message: that they do not belong here and nor is their power/status equal to that of their male peers. [...] Men use the word ‘Girl’ and ‘Princess’ to paint powerful women to be ‘powerless’ and ‘childish’ and we see how this is often aimed at women who are perhaps too ‘outspoken’ or ‘ambitious’ for our society."

Interesting how a character who is often criticized for immaturity (Luke) manages to be completely unthreatened by Leia's assertiveness, while Han is extremely easily offended, insecure, and boastful, and still tends to be read as "more mature." When he doesn't seem mature to me at all.

Well, that's an interesting perspective.

Wait, people actually think Han is mature?
