So, a woman having a power over a man makes it SJW? Should women never be allowed to be in positions of authority in films?

It wasn't that they had power over him, that is ok, it's that they used their power to humiliate him publicly at multiple points in the movie as I recall. I recall one of them slapping him in the face and demoting him in front of his subordinates and peers, and then the other one disregarding all of his ideas and rubbing his demotion in his face, but I might be miss-remembering, TLJ was so bad overall (not just because of the SJW stuff but for other reasons as well) that I have done my best to blank the movie from my memory and pretend it isn't Star Wars canon.

You're not remembering wrong. And this is the character that was their #1 pilot. Who in TFA never received this kind of treatment from Leia or the others. It's also strange how in the other SW films, including TFA, they have to sacrifice lives to take out the big weapon that can destroy fleets/planets. It's something they know they must do to save thousands/millions of other people. Yet, in TLJ, for some reason they keep trying to push this message that fighting is bad, and you should just keep on the running away. They're pissed that people died to save a Dreadnaught, which supposedly wipes out entire fleets easily. Which raises the question of why everyone is listening to Poe, instead of Leia, when they decide to attack it. The whole plan is to run away, when they apparently could have turned one of the ships around and lightspeed through it (since that's a thing, now.) And Rose stops Finn from sacrificing himself to save everyone.
Basically, those two acted like cunts to Poe, while Rose was just unnecessary and acted stupid, but the movie makes it out like they were in the right with everything they do, and all of their messages are the right ones. I guess cause they are women. I know if they had a superior to Leia treating her like those two treated Poe, he would have eventually learned the error of his ways, or turned out to be a bad guy.
