The \\\"lesson\\\" that \\\"only by getting a man\\\" could she \\\"live a fulfilled life\\\" isn\\\'t really the lesson of the movie at all. Looks like SOMEONE\\\'s CompletelyMissingThePoint.

Disney went from [[{{Hercules}} Megara]], a damsel in distress, to {{Mulan}}, an ActionGirl, and people just ended up accusing the film of being sexist for giving her a boyfriend, or for being motivated by saving her father. Give a mouse a cookie and he\\\'ll ask for a glass of milk.

** If it\\\'s CompletelyMissingThePoint, then why was there any need for her to be with a man in the first place? Had the whole subject been taken out, it still would have depicted her as an ActionGirl, so when you put it like that, it makes the scene seem unnecessary. Though I guess you could argue it\\\'s all to do with [[EarnYourHappyEnding earning her happy ending]].
