I felt the same way about the women in shonen series for a long, long time. Then I was introduced to One Piece (the shonen series in Japan today), and it changed everything for me... I fully admit there's shitloads of fanservice and cheesecake with the ladies, but they own it and still kick equally as much ass as the male characters do. It's not perfect, but I'll take it.

It's not that women in shonen series can't be awesome and badass, it's simply that the creators choose not to make them that way.

This, pretty much. I'm a major fan of sports/game anime/manga (which tend to be shounen, though aren't always) and I can honestly say that finding a kickass female character in those series would be like finding a needle in a haystack. Possible (if you're lucky), but so damn rare. :(

I think the main issue is the (general, though not absolute) Japanese perception of the "ideal/sexy" woman.
