This discussion encouraged me to go look for diversity on gender representation and I found a good article talking about some things related:
As a feminist, how do you feel about how women are portrayed in anime and manga?.
I recommend the reading, It has a lot of good mentions.
Also, I found something really interesting too: Skirts No Longer Mandatory For Girls’ Uniforms At A Japanese Middle School. Japan seems to be trying to break gender norms over the past years. "Taiyo Middle School, located in the Kanagawa Prefecture city of Hiratsuka, is notably breaking gender norms to make some progress when it comes to the official school unform. Now in its 71st year, the school will no longer require its female students to wear skirts. They will be able to choose between them or slack pants. The school also wants its female students to understand that the skirt will not be pushed on them as the main uniform–both options will be treated and weighted equally". This really makes me happy.
Then we have a few characters to be mentioned on diversity gender representation, If you do some search you will find some. My favorite one is Haruka Tennou, the Sailor Uranos from Sailor Moon series. She is a openly canonly androgynous female, as said on season 3, episode 7 of Sailor Moon Crystal:
You can watch the full scene of the episode here.
You’re quite right about that. There’s been some discussion elsewhere about tomboys on the forum (...)
@Blastaar Can I ask you where did you saw people discussing about tomboys?
I want to join the discussion and bring some information there. I really don't know If I can talk about it here on a manga chapter discussion. But I guess It was OK because It's related to the tomboy character. I'm not going to talk anymore about it. It was only some things I had to mention. Thanks!
