In addition, I think that’s why so many people say sexism doesn’t exist anymore. A lot of situations seem close to equal, on the tv shows and movies they watch. It’d be ideal if it were really like that in real life, but it’s an awful error for people to assume it IS like that when it’s not. Several female characters appear to be empowered, happy, and/or glamourized. The violence they face appears exciting.

Then there’s the trope of women having some hypnotic sexual power over men. Which makes real life people think that women have just as much power in society.

And the stereotype of men being extra chivalrous, treating a woman extra special and giving her flowers etc. That makes real life people scold that women in real life unfairly get special treatment, and that ladies annoyingly think they’re *so special *, vainly expecting to be treated like princesses.
