The Henry Higgins

Henry Higgins comes from the film my fair lady where a linguistics professor teaches a girl who sells flower how to speak "better English". For a bet. This is so she can work a flower shop and go up in society. He never treats her like a person.
The Henry Higgins effect

When man belivies women need to be fixed to suit what he believes is a proper women. Whether she has asked him to it or not.Connected to the (cool trope) but its not the women pretending to be a Male fantasies but the man imposing his beliefs and values on her. Viewing her as object rather than a person. A man explains things to you but never ask what you think. Lectures you, corrects you,but never takes your feelings into consideration.

Leading women being systematically igorned in society left out. Viewed as obsolete or weird and different. " Why can't a woman be more like a man".
