I felt like Lee's dream was a homage to Naruto SD :|
You missed the point. It's not about the relationships per se. In Lee and Choji's dream, it was the female obsessing over them, just like all the females obsess over males. Shikamaru's wasn't about relationships, it was him being lazy.
Once again, the girls were obsessing over the boys, while the boys were being obsessed over by girls. See the pattern here?
Oh no! A butthurt, hypocritical feminist judging Kishimoto's portrayal of women when the op believes women should be portrayed his way and not in their own way. Even funnier is how you failed to notice that three of the guys also had romantic dreams.
Hinata has always had a crush on Naruto from the very beginning. Being that Naruto has never noticed that, in this dream he is the submissive one. I also love how you left out the part where Neji was alive and Hanabi was acknowledging her simply because they had nothing to do with your little sexist hissy fit, even though they were aspects of the dream as well.
Ino has always had a crush on Sasuke and the dream reveals she may have a thing for Sai. Again, she is not being submissive. They are fighting over her.
Mei clearly had a falling out with her fiance as foreshadowed when she was introduced and nothing in her dream states all women should be married. Stop generalizing bullshit.
It was Dan's dream to become Hokage, not Tsunade's and he was her boyfriend who died. And again you leave out other aspects such as Orochimaru still being good and Jiraiya and Nawaki alive.
Actually, I believe hers was the only genuinely sexist one. instead of being themselves, carefree, goofy and accentric, she wanted them to be vain "gentlemen."
Individually, all of your points are correct. However, once we put all of these dreams together, a pattern emerges of women obsessing over men.
You forget that it is the individual's desires that are manifested in their dreams ..... Ino wants to be fawned upon and so her dream is such ...... and you expect something else from virgin teenagers no matter their career?
So? Naruto and Lee obsess over Sakura, Chouji clearly wants a girlfriend and Shikamaru wants to be with Temari. Is there an actual point to this thread or were you just bored?
Nah, with Kaguya, he'd respond that she's a reference to the "sexism" of the bible that all women are the harbingers of sin with Eve eating the fruit of eden.
Read my previous comments. It has nothing to do with romance at all.
I didn't leave that out. In fact I made an entire thread about Hanabi. In this thread my purpose wasn't to talk about every single aspect of the dreams.
They are Fighting, hence doing something, while Ino stands there blushing. That is sexist.
If all Mei cares about is beng maried, even more so than her being Mizukage, that is sexist. She doesn't even want to be married to a specific person. She just wants to be married.
Once again, I wasn't trying to analyze every aspect of the dreams. And Now that Tsunade is Hokage, I don't see why she should be so happy to hand it over to her boyfriend.
"
Now you are making things up which I didn't say, which is a poor logical argument.
That is true, but as he said it was a pattern throughout the series, and the dreams are the conclusion. Choji and Shikamaru never really showed these desires before, and Lee's love for Sakura was sort of left in Part I before that. On the other hand we get the Naruto-centered Hinata and Ino who thinks of Sasuke as her father is about to die despite no real development between them besides the one-sided kid crush.
What about Kaguya? If you are saying that she's powerful, yes that is true. I was talking about patterns in his females not every character. As of now, Kaguya was not portrayed in a sexist way.
Once again, it's not about whether the boy or girl likes someone, it's the general pattern of the girls only caring about boys in a submissive way. ANd no, SHikamaru does NOT want to be with Temari. Kishimoto said that himself in an interview.
