I agree mostly but would like to add these:

Tenten wanted to be a strong kunoichi like tsunade. That was a good goal even though she got cast aside a lot.

Mei is well above jounin level, c'mon. Zabuza was jounin level and he is inferior to Mei by margin.

Temari's situation was not Naruto being male and her being female. It was Naruto's main character status that does any and everything like some messiah.



Where is Chiyo? She should be mentioned when Kin and Karui are there.

Pretty much agree with most of it, the only females I acknowledge are Tsunade, Mei, Konan and Anko, the others are blow the lowered bar

I speaketh da truth
That's why sometimes the anime sucks bad. When you have real canon characters that don't get much development , the anime team should take that as priority to 'fix' and give them something entertaining, exciting, and interesting (important) to do in the show/story.
You said that the women in Naruto have a terrible character but it seems like you are angry because they are weak

the female characters in DBZ were meant to be sidelined and were just there for comedy and having babies, but the Naruto girls were supposed to be 'fights' warriors , but instead were constant damsels in distress.

Kishi himself said he was bad at developing female characters...So ya. If you want cool, strong, important female characters don't look for it in a shounen series. Erza from Fairy Tail was very promising, untill Mashima decided his characters had to be naked all the time ( ¬_¬)...

Explain how that is feminism?

Oh no! A self-proclaimed feminist! You do realize you completely contradict yourself by stating how these characters should be, right?

Your thread is bad, and you should feel bad, but you don't because you believe you know better and believe you have the right to say what any woman should be. It's complete and utter bullshit hypocrisy at the worst level and I don't even need to elaborate on the racist undertones you use. What are going to say next? Chiyo was a bad female character because she was old?

honestly some characters and plot turns are pretty bad and cringe worthy and sometimes mangakas admit this..
characters in Naruto are beyond annoying.

Can't believe I forgot Chiyo. She's actually one my favorite females in the manga, probably 3rd.

I'm sorry but Tsunade, Mei, Kushina, Konan and Kurenai are good females

Well, that's your opinion...
A good character isn't defined by the OPness of one's skills. Tsunade, Konan and Kushina along with the recently mentioned Chiyo-baa are quite likable female characters to me.

However this is a story about NINJA. Females should be just as OP as the males. I get this is shonen, but they shouldn't have created so many females that are mains only to have them cast aside.

Resorting to name calling does not support your standpoint and only reveals further to everyone how nasty your personality is. And yes, you are a feminist. The moment you typed in the title of this thread using the term women, you were, and presently, you still are.

There are a lot of males that were cast aside too. Kishi forgets about everyone. He forgot about the k11 and went on into other villages. , before even thinking about developing them.Bottom line is he wasted a lot of potential with EVERYONE and not just the females.

Sakura is the only main female in the story, the rest are side characters.
