Re: 123
See, I agree that those kind of things are definitly sexist. But usually, when I get into conversations about anime and sexism, a lot of things that people assume are sexist really aren't. Like in Naruto - a lot of people think Kurumada is sexist because the vast majority of his female characters are healers. To certain American readers, this appears sexist because the women are kept out of combat as back-up and are more often defended by their male counterparts. They feel that a woman as to be completely autonomous in order to be independant and strong.
To the Japanese, this is simply an illustraion of the source of a woman's strength - a woman does not need to be violent to be strong, the way a man does, she displays her strength by supporting and being a pillar for a loved one or her family. Most of the time, the male leads in shonen manga would fall apart if their wives/girlfriends/sisters/mothers weren't there to support them. Japanese women aren't strong because they don't need men, they're strong because the men can't live without them.
That's the cultural tradition that I was refering to. You see what I mean?
