I don't see any guys complaining when girls drool over bishie's wearing tight ass outfits, Typical double standard by women.

What I find sexist about anime is the way all male characters are portayed as perverted, weak, spineless dolts who pander to the needs of females whenever possible and accept any kind of mental and physical abuse from women without question - which is of course mirrored in our own society. All the female characters are portayed as virtous and strong compared to the male ones and are always right and even though there are many female dominated animes with only female cast the male dominated ones always have at least one irritating girl to make the lives of the men hell. Ok so girls are not as perverse as men but not all men are thinking of ogling the female body - they aren't that special only walking meatsacks like the rest of us. To put it bluntly I'd say anime is predominantly male-bashing and misandric and no-one has the balls to admit it due to our man is bad woman is good culture [UK and USA anyway]
I'll probably be flamed for this reply but up yours because someone needs to speak from the politically incorrect male point of view here.
You deserve a standing ovation, but that doesn't really apply to anime.
a lot of manga is still mail dominated as far as main character goes. on the other hand manga can be credited for showing a lot of girls as NOT SO VIRTUOUS, and slowly turning the quiet ones{which is thought of as unhealthy for girls in the neo japan culture and manga culture} to more vibrant and annouing ones. ofcourse one can say that the annoying school girl is a stereotype in japanese culture{also scantily clad} but its not a terribly sexist one. i do admit that we need more mainstream anime girls and main characters and perhaps showing guys naked as much as girls{although anime is far superior in that respect to cinema and western cartoons} and sensualized{manga, naruto guy/guy sex scence} lol.
although maybe its cause of me being a male n all. i find it a little difficult to understand how to SENSUALIZE the male image{even of theyr naked} in the same way as a female, i mean they dont have the handsome proportions as the opposite sex, nor can they do the same submissive{i suppose they cud but i dont think society is really ready for it} acts as a girl. just a perspective of a male artist.
