I mean, "I Dream of Jeannie" is everything the social media "activists" object to - a master-slave relationship, deeply sexist, and guilty of cultural appropriation, as it's based on Middle Eastern legends but stars all white people.
Maybe I should troll them, and see what kind of a tempest in a teapot I can create.
Jinn are spirits or demons, so the whole "genie babe" thing is fake mythology. If you search "jinn arabian" they look like monsters.
shareWhile your assertion is correct about them being spirits, the rest is limited in scope. Here are a couple of excerpts from The Encyclopedia of Spirits: The Ultimate Guide to the Magic of Fairies, Genies, Demons, Ghosts, Gods & Goddesses by Judika Illes.
Also read the folktales. There are many female djinn who don't look like monsters. They often marry other djinn, or are the offspring of a human and a djinni.
Djinn
Also known as: Jinn; Genie; Jinni
Djinn are the indigenous spirits of the Middle East and North Africa. They preceded Judaism, Christianity, and Islam in the area but have since traveled the world with Islam and are now found far from their original home.
The name Djinn derives from Old Arabic and means “covert” or “darkness.” Most Djinn are secretive, covert spirits who are invisible most of the time. Many are ambivalent toward people.

Lalla is a Berber word, which literally means Lady. It is used for human women but is also the most widespread term of address for female spirits, common to both Muslims and Jews. The same term is used to address female Muslim saints, female Jewish saints, female Djinn or other female spirits.
Lalla Malika (more at https://occult-world.com/lalla-malika/ )
Lalla Malika, daughter of a King of Djinn, is beautiful, elegant, flirtatious and coquettish. She likes men, especially married men. Lalla Malika engages in sacred marriages. (See the Glossary entry for Marriage.) As her favorite partners are already wed, it’s crucial to negotiate terms with her. Men engaged in marriage with Lalla Malika must receive her permission to continue relations with their wives or other women. Lalla Malika is a good-natured spirit but keep boundaries clear to avoid any unpleasantness.
"Judika Illes is an American author of esoteric non-fiction books, aromatherapist and tarot reader" !!!
It's fiction, she's lost touch with reality.
That's your opinion, but her books are well-researched in the mythology. If her content is not to be trusted, why is the information you posted about the mythology more trustworthy? It's mythology. All mythology is fictional.
shareAt this moment they are going after a Lincoln statue that celebrates the freeing the US slaves. That's just how crazy these terrorists F'ks are.

Would you believe a Frederick Douglass statue was damaged????????
Their problem is with Western civilization itself they are self loathing as most of them a white.
shareLeftists are so freaking stupid, Jeannie is NOT a human, she is a fictional being, genie's do not actually exist. This is all make believe.
shareThe show is a great fantasy for straight men, and there's not a damned thing wrong with that. F 'em if they can't take a joke.
shareArabs did kidnap and enslave lots of Europeans and one point oh hang on, not PC either.
Jeannie is also such a happy servant. That would really piss off the Woke ones.
