I watched the 2021 version of the Dune film last night, and it was pretty decent, not having known anything about the books or the prior movies going into it. There was a cringe line from a female witch in the movie, though, about how their order can only accept women, and the male this one witch was training was lucky to be alive after being put through some sort of test from the grand witch, or whatever. And they kept talking about him as this "Chosen One" that was prophecied to be born to one of the witches and lead them to utopia, or something. I didn't think much of it at the time.
But tonight, I decided to get high , and started thinking more about it, and it reminded me of something else: the Gerudos in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. They are an all-female thief society, to whom one male is born every hundred years, and the current male just so happens to also be destined to wield the Triforce of Power. And I was like "that's a weird coincidence." But then I realized, in a great, big "duh!" moment, that these societies were basically a representation manifest of the idea of one ultra Chad male having a harem of eligible women. It's biological and black pill reality ingrained in us all through evolution, and these types of societies in these types of stories are just this realization of a fact of life manifest in story form. It's a recreation of the more primitive days of man (as well as the recent modern days) when few males would have all the women, and the rest of the men were left to fend for themselves. Everyone understands the way it really is, even if most people live in complete, deep denial of the facts.
