What it is?: Anti-feminist shoujo heroines/shows/mangas

Spoiler for space:

Worst offenders: Any mangas authored by Shinjou Mayu though some other shoujo authors are responsible too

Notable exceptions: Princess 9. The only shoujo(though dubiously) show that actually try to be feminist, or at least sort of

Variants: Girls and women who become victims of their own romance/willing to become slave for their lovers

What makes it popular?: Why bother to free yourself from creepy, cold-hearted, bully but good-looking boy or androgynous-looking man while you can be his slave instead. My heart already belong to him.

Why I hated it: It is ironic that lots of male-oriented shows which are always panned for sexualization of women and teenage girls are actually more "feminist" than those of the female-oriented ones. As example Taishou Yakyuu Musume is obviously many times more feminist than any shoujo mangas you can think off. I was amazed why shoujo couldn't do such things. Maybe because of the sales. Fans just want to see hot guys, regardless how evil and asshole they are. Not girls who fighting for their own rights. Of course women are equally guilty as their male counterparts when it comes to this issue.

Does the hate really worth it?: Of course it is. I will continue hating this cliche as long as I keep breathing or better still, as long as there are sun and moon.

Don't bash, but being so popular among girls should tell you something about at least modern feminists.
