Kagura isnt the only stereotype breaker either. Otae is tough as nails despite her gentle mannerisms, Otsuu is a pop star who sings about vulgar shit despite it not being very "becoming" for a young lady, Sa-chan is tough but she proudly displays being a sub every chance she gets, she LIKES being treated as less by a man... Shit, I gotta give this show props for at least giving her that choice.


I dunno, I thought the Kyuubei arc was pretty amazing. I think her being able to cry had nothing to do with weakness. She grew up totally abused and was probably told she couldnt cry, so here comes her chance to finally be strong enough to break the mold she was imprisoned in. She didnt have a choice in it all her life, and then here comes Otae, and you know, gives her the ability to actually choose her emotion at the time. To me it didnt imply that females were supposed to be passive and weak, but
rather that being a male sounds like an emotional prison where you have to keep everything bottled up.

about her making her change teams or whatever in the goukan episode, it was about getting her in touch with her feminine side, at least just a tiiiiny bit. It started all because the Yorozuya thought she was thinking about a sex change. Which was of course, a dumb unfounded rumor. Did you forget that Yagyuu also flips out violently at the touch of a man? I mean, its not practical to live like that either you know, they were just trying to get her to try different thing out now that she was free of her family's rules, before going to get a dick.

I think you explained it better than I could. It's not that Kyuubi didn't want to be female, but rather that she was raised as a male. This includes thinking, acting and feeling like a male.

Gender roles in Japan are still very ridged and not as progressive as the West. It's a miracle something as popular as Gintama even addressed this at all. The whole gokon thing was more or less the result of a misunderstanding from what I gather, been awhile since I've watched those episodes.

Sa-chan is tough but she proudly displays being a sub every chance she gets, she LIKES being treated as less by a man... Shit, I gotta give this show props for at least giving her that choice.

This is why I love that character so much. And you notice Sa-chan only acts like that with Gintoki. She's rather aggressive toward everyone else. All the females in this series take whatever stereotypical shounen female trait they can find and subvert it as hard as possible.
