As others have said.

Cultural understanding is important. Context is important, and feminism isn't 100% black and white.

But culture isn't an excuse. Equality can't depend upon cultural relativism, nor can human rights and general morality.

That being said, if in your secret you mean, fans often interpret things from a "western feminism" viewpoint that Japan really doesn't have, that's fair. That Attack on Titan woman (Hange?) comes to mind. Western feminists, particularly the tumblr sort, love to interpret her as trans or whatever, and that's fine. Or some character as genderqueer, whatever. But the author probably didn't intend that, because understanding and even awareness of those issues is very scarce in Japan.

Well, it is canon that Hange has no canon gender although. Isayama had told Dark Horse that Hange's gender is unclear and DH had to change their pronouns to 'they/their'.

Doesn't mean Hange is canonically genderqueer, but yeah.

She's canon female in the anime, however.

It was a joke by the author because he got annoyed that people got confused over Hanji's being a guy or a girl in the first place.

As someone explained, white American feminism is damaging because it's at a point where it can hail "femininity as power" as a very positive thing. But in Japan, that's the status quo and keeps girls in place.
