japanese women doesn't count, they had little to no exposure to jewish brainwashing so they don't feel like they're entitled brats and are more down to earth.
Also creating high quality drawings requires intelligence and creativity and also knowing about alchemy and stuff requires some serious background culture, so it means she realizes we are both made of flesh, blood and bones, most women nowadays still think in their 30's the penis is a muscle and have no idea how their organs even work.

Well of course, haremshit girls are almost always complete garbage for example. I just meant when Japan sets out to write a well written woman they just write a well written character who is a woman. Meanwhile in the west you get all the awful stuff in modern capeshit with Wonder Woman or whoever the fuck giving long speeches about feminism to villains and the like.

Serious question: how come manga have tons of successful female authors in all genres, but American media does not? Isn't Japan supposed to be more sexist than America?
>>
>>135472367

American females do not create good series. Japanese females sometimes do.
>>
>>135472367
because all the great female comic writers in america are still afraid to talk about sex in public and in paper because it's sexist and mysoginistic.

Read up on the history of the shojo genre, those early pioneers of women's comics pretty much opened up the door for female authors to tackle a variety of demographics.

You also have to consider that the Japanese comic industry is creator based and not publisher based, which helps both male and female authors to better gain recognition for the merits of their work.

You do realize that Japanese men are no longer getting married because the women are so demanding and entitled when it comes to his earning power?

Manga is so mainstream that it's only natural for there to be good female mangaka. Plus women tend to like drawing and writing in general, and the medium often panders directly at them. They aren't alienated from it the same way women are with western comics.
>>
>>135480572
>You do realize that Japanese men are no longer getting married because the women are so demanding and entitled when it comes to his earning power?
(not that guy)
That's not exactly how it is
They don't like getting married because Japan has this tradition of the Wife always keeping the money and not doing shit and just staying in the house or some shit while their Husbands overwork themselves to death

Likewise Japanese Women don't want to be married because their husbands work 16 hours a day or some shit and they barely can ever spend time with them

That's at least how I understand it
>>
>>135481505
They don't give a fuck about spending time with their husbands, they want their husbands to work as many hours as necessary in order to afford the house etc as soon as they get married.
>>
>>135481927
That doesn't apply to every single nip woman
I've read that some nip chicks don't want to be married cuz then that would mean they would have to abandon their career and dedicate themselves to their Husband/Family

In the recent episode in the Japanese TV show You ha nanishi nippon he.

There was a black guy they interviewed was working on his own magical Shoujo manga.

Just to let's you know, Since Shoujo is is still underground in the general anime fanbase. 70% of the Shoujo are left untranslated, and the shoujo community like to keep their stuffs to themselves so it's hardly notice.
>>
>>135481927
For a lot of Japanese women, getting married means pressure to have kids ASAP and as soon as they have kids, that's it. Their life outside the house ends and they are expected to be nothing but mom for the rest of their lives or they're failures as women.

That used to be the case with shounen series that started in 1999 - 2009, but now you don't see it anymore that often. Good examples are new series Boku No Hero Academia and The Seven Deadly Sins. They have avoided those cliches pretty well.
