I agree with matruz. Within the context of the scene, Ann\\\'s friend seems to be the typical hopeless romantic teenager. You know, the \\\"OMG we\\\'re gonna find love one day X3\\\" type. Hardly a credible source of information regarding the long-term implications of what it means to be a Samurai\\\'s Princess. Even if this came from a higher person in the temple, that alone wouldn\\\'t indicate we\\\'re supposed to see such a view as \\\"right\\\".
The way I see it, a few ShipperOnDeck moments and the existence of an all-female occupation isn\\\'t enough. Kishi would have to go out of his way to very explicitly state \\\"Hey, women should StayInTheKitchen\\\" via a character saying such a thing and being portrayed as unambiguously in the right, having a female character go through a CharacterArc where she comes to terms with her \\\"role as a woman\\\", someone forcing a woman into an ArrangedMarriage (a confirmed one, not an assumed one) with nobody batting an eye, or some other thing of that nature.
And if we could go back to the most powerful Samurai for a moment, where does \\\'\\\'her\\\'\\\' strength come from? Does she have her own Princess? If so, if an ArrangedMarriage between the Samurai and Princess really \\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\' generally expected by the society of this setting, does this mean she\\\'s in a lesbian relationship or that the Samurai and the Princess don\\\'t \\\'\\\'have\\\'\\\' to date or marry if they really don\\\'t want to? Is she her own Princess or is the \\\"Princess\\\" in question multiple people or even an object? If so, does this contradict the lore or is a \\\"Princess\\\" just anybody or anything the Samurai wants to protect and this is to be revealed later in a WhamEpisode? Is there a group of men who train to become \\\"Princes\\\" in order to give strength to female Samurai like her? If so, would this blow any accusations of sexism out of the water or, if we were to continue to assume the Samurai and Princess will eventually have an ArrangedMarriage, just bring on accusations of homophobia?
