You want a FeministFantasy? Look at “Claymore”, “Black Lagoon” and “Sailor Moon”. Hell, \\\"Attack on Titan\\\" is one if you ignored Misaka\\\'s turning into a Badass being because of Eren \\\'saving\\\' her (or, being chauvinistic by saving her) and Anne (or is it Anna?) being trained and made the way she is by her dad.
Most people are gonna say some Feminazi shit like \\\"You can\\\'t judge! You have a penis\\\". But I\\\'m waaay more a feminist than say...Joss Wheaton (yeah, I went there, Mister Loves-his-Damsels-in-Distress).

FMA is the least Feminist thing I’ve ever seen from a woman. All the female characters but two (Olivier and maaaybe Izumi), are attached to, serve, or are in the shadow of men (Ala NeverASelfMadeWoman), are [[FauxActionGirl Faux Action Girls]], easily defeated by the (mostly male) enemies, and therefore being damsels-in-distress at one point or another (I\'m not one of those people who scream sexism or faux action girl when she is defeated, but there is a difference between getting defeated and getting taken out easily and needing rescuing):

*\'\'\'Riza:\'\'\' even though she is a tough gunslinger, Riza was made a bit of a Damsel in Distress as The Führer made her, like Winry to Edward, a hostage to keep Roy in check. She was also twice made into a complete Damsel in Distress when she was attacked by Gluttony, and later, when she had her throat slit. Despite her skills, she was saved on both occasions, the first time (the Gluttony one) by men! Not to mention that because she had her though slit, she could not take direct part in the final battle.

**Just like Riza and Ran Fan, she had to be rescued/saved snd was motivated by some stipid crush (no MALE character was crushing on anyone/doing something purely because of that) This happens every time she attacked Father. In both incidents, like Ran Fan before here, it takes ONE STRIKE to defeat her and leave her needing rescue and protection by a boy (Al)!

Not to mention Winry is a crybaby, a ditz and a coward (She couldn\'t even shoot her parent’s killer and let a guy protect her). Because nothing say “I’m a strong woman!” like supporting chivalry and chauvinism. Let’s not forget that when she finally grew a backbone, she soon goes right back into waiting around like a pathetic little dear. Oh. and her job doesn\'t make her \'feminist\' as her personality is completely unsuiting and is just a way to attach her to Ed (other clients or not). If, say, she were ficing cars, and on the side, and the story showed Ed was not the most important thing in her life, maybe.

Then there is the scene is Riza crying when she thought Roy was dead. Do we ever get a scene where the man is crying and screaming because he thinks the woman he loves is dead? Even if there is a scene like that, the man does not cry most of the time. Not only this, but she begged for death just because her man was dead! What kind of woman does that?! A weak-minded, pathetic, man-pleasing, submissive one, which is who I hope women like that do not exist in real life (though I have a feeling do)! How can Riza be \'so strong\' if she has this, a female character trait showing the weakest of will and self-believe/respect? It does not show she cares, it just shows she is as weak as a non-fighting female (like Winry and Orihime).

*\'\'\'Lan Fan\'\'\': Ran Fan (a ninja) was made a blatant Damsel in Distress when Wrath attacked her (taking out with just ONE HIT!) and she was rescued and protected by Ling, a boy, and the person she was supposed to be protecting! It pissed me off. Why build her up to be this competent bodyguard only to Chickafy her before she does any protecting?! Classic FauxActionGirl.
There’s even a picture of Ran Fan appearing weak and helpless, while Ling has one arm wrapped around her and the other clutching his sword in front of her. The roles should have been reversed, as it is her job to protect!

Mei: Now, on to Mei Chan. She started off as an independent (and averting the Never A Self-Made Women tropes of the other females), used Rentanjutsu and marital arts, but she still cried many times.
