I think we all know how poor Female characterization is in this series.

Don't you think it would've been wiser if Kishimoto would have just given females a different supporting role other than Ninjas. And also give them significantly less screentime overall. There are few exceptions like Konan or Temari

As a result:
- Less Burdens
- Less wasted panels
- Less Pairing Bulls**t (which in my opinion, has compromised the potential of this series)
- No conflicting romance, love triangles (or all that bullshit you see in lame TV soaps or something)
- Less B****ing
- Less Crying
- Less getting your badass cousin killed for your protection
- Less thinking at your Hokage Desk doing absolutely nothing for countless panels.

I like how there were no female disruptions (other than Temari who was badass) in the Sasuke Retrieval Arc.

So Kushina never gives birth and series never happens. BOOM.

She doesn't have to be a ninja.
Read the title
anyway Kushina is OK because she served her role as showing the backstory of Naruto's birth

this screams anti-women sentiment and it's funny

The implication here is that Naruto has female characters in the first place. The way Kishi writes, it's more like female-shaped cardboard cutouts.

Didn't he say that He tried to develop them (especially sakura)

He can make good females(look at beginning of shippuden Sakura, Temari) but he prefers that females not be as badass, or relevant as their male peers.

iirc he said he's not good at developing females.Dont get me wrong konan, Kushina, tsunade, and chiyo are good characters but they aren't the main heroine so its kinda sad he dropped the ball on that.

It's tragic really. The only female ninjas who really ever impressed me were Ino, Tsunade & Chiyo. Kushina's inclusion was quite nice too.

This manga was a sausage fest with the main conflict about a bromance.

It would be a damn sausage fest... Plus many females actually were a big part of the story and contributed.

Hmm, what about the contributions the do bring to the manga?
If Sakura wasn't their to assit Obito, would Sasuke be trapped still?
Would Naruto have made it without without Tsunade preventing Oro from killing him?

Wtf? You want a sausage fest?

Ino didn't really do it for me, but Tsunade and Chiyo had impact. I also liked Konan and... in concept, I like Kaguya. Don't get me wrong, the last part of Naruto was terrible, but Kaguya had a good look and overall caught my eye as a character. She had potential to be an interesting female villain, something the manga was lacking, but unfortunately she kind of fell flat.

Lets be serious here, a sausage fest would have even better development under Kishi's writing we've already seen Naruto and Gaara, Naruto and Sasuke, Madara and Hashirama, Naruto and Jiraiya etc

Female involvement were always a mess in this series when it comes to development.

Tsunade wasn't much use throughout the series (especially when she's meant to be Hokage, protector of the Village, she tried but obviously not good enough)
