Japanese feminists disagree, and it's not hard to see why since the series for little girls are Japan's equivalent of the Disney Princess franchise (yes, nearly all of them, and no, the fact that they're not all by one company like Disney doesn't matter).

I'm not into Disney, what's wrong with the princes franchise?

Yeah, pretty much. PreCure and stuff is all about emphasizing that Girls Must be Feminine. I mean, this is a country where all girls have to wear skirts as part of their school uniforms, no matter how cold it is. A friend of mine is from Hokkaido (way up north) and she used to get in trouble for wearing gym pants underneath her skirt because she was cold. And as an adult, she has to wear makeup at work, because you can be FIRED for not wearing makeup. Not making this shit up.

I've lived in Japan, I've seen how little girls get hardcore inundated with this shit at a young age. You'll see coloring contests at the local library or whatever where all the girls colored a picture of a pretty girl in a wedding dress, and all the boys did giant robots. And girls will write "I want to be a bride" as their "what do you want to be when you grow up?" statement.

It's very focussed on the idea that girls must like makeup and fashion and boys and pinks sparkly things and weddings and marriage exclusively. The Pretty Cure franchise is absolutely the Disney Princess of Japan.
