Well, I am fully aware of the ladyfail in Bleach (and so anything positive I say about his treatment of his ladies always comes with a 'DON'T GET ME WRONG HE FUCKS UP A LOT WHERE THE LADIES ARE CONCERNED' disclaimer) but I don't think it's as systemic or pointed or throughly horrifying as Naruto, because GOD, WHAT THE FUCK. When he gives us a badass lady he tends to just let her be a badass lady instead of undermining her forever and ever and ever and ever.

The fact that Bleach at no point contains the line "I guess girls of her age are more interested in boys than in ninjutsu" also sort of takes the edge off.
