Being a feminist, I yet simply hate Holdo’s character. In the movie, she simply tried to display dominance. And actually that’s a big problem in feminist community which was explored in the famous article ‘Tyranny of Structurelessness’ by Jo Freeman.

For a comparison, I’d like to draw attention to the character Theresa Yao, the captain of Donnager flagship from the Expanse series.
She lost the battle yet no single moment she lost respect of her subordinates.

In reply to Frank Karl. Brilliant. I couldn't get what Holdo made me feel deja-vu, but when you said about MBA and suits, that clicked exactly. I even knew people like Holdo at work.

In reply to MathLord. No it wasn't. Take responsibility when you're politely woken from your slumber.

In reply to chrishernandezauthor. Yes. I was just a bit confused because it was worded very poorly.

In reply to MathLord. 47. My military service was in the USMC Reserve and Army National Guard, so it was concurrent with my police career. I joined the USMCR at 17, while I was in I became a cop at 22, finished my 6 years in the Corps at 23 and joined the Guard, am now retired from the Guard but still a cop. Make sense?
