Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Someone once told me that socially, Japan is now in a similar place as the US in the '60s: big push forward from the progressives, almost-as-big push back from the reactionaries. Japanese entertainment in particular is in a rather large quagmire of wonkiness at the moment for a number of reasons which you can read about here

Japan is a remarkably patriarchal, frequently sexist culture. In other news, the sky is blue.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.In every culture there is wide diversity in view points on many things.
I know for a fact that this is a trope Japanese feminists consider damaging.
Here the series is consciously aligning itself with the status quo.
Which, I mean, it obviously was going to.
I can't quite get THAT mad over it.

I would say it's a trope that feminists consider damaging regardless of region. Stay in the Kitchen is something that pretty much all feminists agree is bullshit.

If that's the case, I hope Funi makes it clear.

"It's liberating, realizing you never need to be competent." — UltimatepheerPoor Krilin, he dosen't want to put his wife in danger, goes off to face the attack of someone who brutally killed him in the past, and now powered up monstroualy and brought a whole army with him, while his team heavy hitters are missin in action, and all he gets for that is people calling him an asshole who desserve to be killed because he apparently isn't PC Bro enough. That guy really can never catch a break.
Oh well, at least 18 thinks he's cool.
None of us are angry at Krillin.
We're angry at the higher-ups who made him say that, and the thinking that condones it.
Along with the bullshit Pandering that lead to only certain characters being involved in the battle in the first place.
But you know that, and are mostly just joking around anyway.
One Strip! One Strip!

And that's just what I think Team Four Star would do!
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
