I agree with your point of view, but not with your statement about how we should all just "mind our own business". Being critical is important. Now, it's important to be self-critical, too - we shouldn't accuse others without realizing we have problems, too. But damn straight we should be critical of Japan for being a very sexist society. Or Uganda for its anti-gay laws, etc.

I never said we should "mind our own business", although apparently everyone's interpreting my comment that way, so I must have phrased it badly. What I meant was that for a culture to change, the change really has to come from within, not from other cultures forcing their views and mores on it. By all means, western feminists can talk about their viewpoints of Japanese media, but when a Japanese woman tells us what she thinks, we should damn well shut up and listen to her instead of telling her "your interpretation is wrong!" Chances are good that she knows better than us what's going on in that series.
