What /is/ this?
Okay, seriously, what the fuck?
My rant on women in KHR was far from the first thing I've written castigating some anime/manga or other for presenting women as useless frills or objectified sex shows or whatever other negative stereotype was in question. I'm fairly sure it wasn't the first time such an entry has been linked on a meta comm.
So why is this particular entry drawing so much fire? I just ran across yet another (annoyingly clueless) screed against it while googling for a KHR timeline for pity's sake!
Is there really such a concentration of anti-feminist women (I shudder that such a phrase can still be written) in KHR, or did this particular entry just happen to fall into the orbit of a small knot of them and I have the bad luck to keep stumbling over their excrescence?

no subject
Which would be why the rant was written about the trend of the female characters in the source, rather than as an attack on the characters themselves. Look, I get the urge to defend female characters on principle, but that doesn't change the frameworks in which they're placed, and those frameworks are flawed.
Also, there are several branches of political feminism, and several modes of expression. To say there are "two kinds" is incorrect.
