I read an article on an anime website which was about women in anime. I don't know whether the point of the article was to address the portrayal of women in anime/manga or address the issue of lack of female mangakas in the industry. I wrote about the irrelevence of needing more female mangakas because gender has nothing to do with the quality of the content. I've also mentioned few examples of "different" and "unique" women in shoujo mangas/animes. A female user posted something about women in a far-east country having master degrees and working as waitresses. I posted that gender has nothing to do with those women having a master degree and serving food because men in that country also have master and PHD and serve food and we have many of them here. Not having job oppertunities and discrimination against females are two different things. The user said she sent a sample of her work to a print house and they turned her down because she was female. She's from Texas btw so I don't know if these things really happen over there. I told her that the print house is owned by people and not the gov. therefore the gov. can't do anything about her being disciminated against because of her gender. Another user jumped out of the blue and told me that the country has one of the best anti-discrimination systems on the face of earth. I told her that this only applies on companies which are owned by the gov. and not companies which are owned by people. I told her that the number of companies which are owned by people where she is is larger than the number of companies which are owned by the gov. because of the economical system and the only condition where the gov. is involved in a private companies' appointment policy is when those companies hire forigeners and use public property. Another user said that the gov. punishes people who violate civil rights and among them is the principle of EEO. I told her that proving that a company violated civil laws is not the gov's job. It's the person's job to prove that he/she have were disciminated against by those companies and this scenario takes place in courts. So the gov. does not interfere in the way corporations hire people because those corporations are owned by people and not them. I also told them that personal freedom is a constitutional principle when EEO was mentioned in civil rights law and constitution is the supreme law of any country so people hiring other based on gender/race/religion etc. is a personal freedom as long as those corporations were owned by those people.

After I made many posts explaining why the gov. can't stop companies from disciminating against females and that some companies are run by sick people, users started calling me names. Ironically, the user who said that the country has one of the best anti-discimination systems on the face of earth called another user a European snob. Funny how the article highlighted the issue of showing women as dumb and clumsy creatures who all they wanna do is cook to satisfy men when the women behind those screen names are ignorant themselves. Maybe the reason why women in anime are dumb because those who watch them also lack in the knowledge department? Not really. So instead of barking about why aren't there more women in a certain industry when it doesn't matter and the way a certain medium shows women which you find offensive because of cultural difference, how about you learn about your country's economical foundation. Wouldn't it be better?
