Armed and Helpless

I am a connoisseur of the obscure "useless henchwomen" motif.  In summary: the theme is that of comely female antagonist thugs or soldiers being easily and readily subdued.  The women are preferably armed and uniformed.  They must be plentiful and expendable.  I favor them being mass-produced clones.  They are employed as guards and enforcers but prove to be helpless victims.
"Useless henchwomen" are the villainous variant of the "damsel in distress" and "scream queen."  Like their sisters, they are female archetypes whose niche is to be imperiled.  Unlike them, however, they are supposedly "deserving" of their distress.  Useless henchwomen are underlings of villainy, thus, it is "justified" for them to be slain and or humiliated.  They are anonymous, insignificant pawns who are exploited and sacrificed in the service of an elitist agenda:  in the manner of the chafing reality decried by modern feminism.
Heroines and villainous dominatrixes thrill us by being awesome.  Damsels in distress and useless henchwomen entertain us by being helpless.  Humanity, despite its thin veneer of sophistication, remains innately primal.  Our formidable female archetypes appeal to our impulsive submission to maternal figures. Our fictional female victims are the objects of heterosexual aggression, even if the assailant portrayed is female.
