Personally for me it wasn't "oppressed" as "Oh god what a waste". Not to say that Stay-At-Home-Moms are wasting their potential, but she had previously displayed no interest that I had seen in having and raising the 2.5 kids, and was one of the two smartest characters in the series IIRC. Full-blown genius level (Ken I don't count because he had interesting circumstances). Now, I know at least one Stay-At-Home-Mom who is raising a delightful daughter who she talks about often while working on her PHD. It's entirely possible that that's what Miyako would do.

But it doesn't say she does that. She gets knocked up and raises some kids. And doesn't look particularly happy about it either, though I'm sure it was supposed to be a "Lulz, so hectic, being a mom!" scene.

YES real people would change a lot over that much time. But these aren't real people, they're characters in a cartoon, and we haven't been there 'with them' for the last 24 years. Her ending - hell, just about ALL their endings! - do not stay true to the characters that had been established and I had come to love over the last 104 episodes. That isn't "being realistic", that's bad writing.

...And clearly I was annoyed enough by it that years later it still makes me livid to think about it. o_O

And to nip any shipping related arguments in the bud - all my pairings that I liked were slash or weirder, so I knew damn well they had no chance of becoming canon.
