This is probably going to be the most LMS topic ever, but here goes.

-If Adam Malkovich barking orders at Samus in Other M is supposed to be sexist towards women, then why is Vice Admiral Holdo viewing Poe similarly contemptuously in The Last Jedi supposed to be sexist towards men? Then logically shouldn't neither be sexist, or are people just not allowed to bark orders at others of the opposite sex?

-It seems like Wanda's character arc in the new Doctor Strange movie is accused of being woke for covering similar territory that got Other M labelled sexist. Is it really a difference that Wanda's maternal instincts empower her vs. hindering Samus?

I've played ALL of Other M.
Adam barking orders at Samus is NOT sexist.
To explain, Samus viewed Adam as a FATHER figure. She is agreeing to follow Adam's orders due to her viewing him as a father. Under other circumstances she would NOT be following his orders, but because she knows him and considers him a father figure, she will listen to him.
So no, it's not sexist.
Other M focuses a lot on daddy issues and mommy issues (EX # 1 of many of the mommy issues in Other M: Samus blabbing about: "The Baby!! The baby! blah, blah, blah, the BABY, blah, blah blah, etc, etc, etc)", not feminist / sexist issues.
Now, is Adam highly incompetent at his job? Oh, hell yes. He is the most incompetent commanding officer I have ever seen in a video game. He sucks as his job. He does not give out orders out of being sexist. But he does give out highly incompetent orders because he is highly incompetent at his job.
The orders he gave out in the Volcano scene in Other M is a damn good example of Adam being an idiot at his job.
