I know I sound pessimistic, and I know it seems as if I'm saying that women are inferior to men. However, I think of myself as a realist; I'm merely trying to point out that there isn't as much equality as people think there is (at least, from what I've seen in my journey through life.)

You are right, though, when you say there are exceptions. Women have the potential, the capability, to do miraculous feats. They are capable of surpassing men in some areas.

Unfortunately, this is hard to achieve in our world. There are times when women have to work harder just to put themselves at equal footing with men. Hopefully, this is changing, but I still believe that we have a long way to go.

(Not trying to put you down or anything. If you have different beliefs about this subject, hold onto them. I am only giving one opinion.  I'm sure Himaruya will provide more female characters :] )
