I don't think anybody's disagreeing with you? But I'd gently suggest that the Hawkeye and Mustang relationship, in the mangaverse in particular which is what the secret was about, is a very specific thing and I'm not sure how you can be arguing from a position of knowledge if you only know the first anime story. So making generalizations about how women are portrayed in Hollywood film isn't particularly relevant to the conversation about this particular story/relationship, which isn't from a Hollywood film in any case.

Yeah, I think I started a different conversation than the one you're having - sorry about that. What I originally replied to wasn't about Hawkeye at all, but the statement that "people talk about women being motivated by men as if that was a BAD thing". I (obviously) think that that is a relevant criticism, but (obviously) one that is fruitless for judging individual stories. Far be it from me to deny that the storyline has been pulled off excellently in a lot of stories. It's just been getting kind of old for the last two hundred years.

No problem, I get what you're saying and sorry if we crossed wires. I just meant to say that it frustrates me to see the frequency with which it's used to critique this particular storyline.
