I mean, at least it's realistic - not the way he deals with it exactly tho.
Pirate's world is a world of cruelty and raw power usually, a world where the raw power of a woman just can't be enough.
It could have been nice tho to have a female character that relied on her intelligence to compensate, but the sole top tier that we have is the most low IQ roastie that is possible to imagine, aka big meme
It’s a manga mate, real life anatomy don’t matter. Gtfo with the women are weaker than men bs. And we have big mom running around yet you say that? It’s not about lack of power it’s about the way oda handles them.
Not once was it stated that women are physically weaker than men in the op world. Hancock would’ve destroyed the entire sh crew pre skip.

also vivi,lola, chiffone, hippo-lola, wanda
4chan theorized nami is a lesbian lmao
Oda said the the only other thing Nami loves other than money is good women. Take that however you want.
Nami getting along with other women results in the same demographic who question a woman's worth to interpret her this way.

By the same standards would you make a case that 80% of the male cast, the characters who have shown no interest in women, are homosexual? Including many of them and even the ones who are attracted to women, can't you classify most male characters as misogynistic?

Sadly its not Oda,its just the Shonen genre that its like this. The editors suggest to the mangaka that the teen boys (who are the main target of the Shonen genre) wants to see the men fight and are interested in women only for their sexiness (because lets face it,in that age its like this) so they want to appeal to them. So we cant really blame Oda in this case imho.

Oda is better with women than most mangaka

Kishimoto....
Well Sakura vs Sasori is one of the best fights for a female character in a Shonen manga imho

Yes, I’m not really blaming Oda. I agree it’s probably editors and readers.

I have to call this a better idea. Roger, Luffy, Newgate, and Kaido have been welcoming, Linlin straight up banged one, Teach is probably down with anyone who gets him ahead... Shanks would be that one cool guy you know who says something oddly racist out of nowhere.

Now that I think about it, I don’t recall many times Nami reacted negatively to any women that were rude to her. Even women like Perona, Monet, and Kalifa weren’t really personally rude to her, at least not in a way that was beyond the general villainy in comparison to the villainous men they were with, and showing more fear towards Big Mom than annoyance.

I'm just hoping Yamato is competent enough, she already showed that she can 1 shot a weaker fly six easily but she still needs to show more. Would be cool if she has a clash vs Smoothie however its time for a serious Male vs Female match that doesn't include Big Mom

I got excited when it was revealed her boobs weren't as big as Robin/Nami's, the bigger the breast the more useless/irrelevant a female character is gonna be so there is still hope (Hancock and Smoothie prime example)

we need to see the conclusion of Yamato vs Ulti though.
because so far i dont see Yamato can fight with Smoothie.

I agree with You on the general idea but I have to disagree on some of the points you provided.

let’s all first agree on the fact that Oda is not successfully presenting the female characters, especially a Yonko, Big mom and one of her sweet commanders (smoothie) who IMO was the biggest disappointment in the WC arc and in OP in total.

but if we compare male and female characters, Oda does make some male characters who are supposedly strong into some kinda joke sometimes.... I mean look at queen :specialmeh:

the difference here is that out of 3 or 4 Male characters, one dude falls out of expectations, while the rates are much higher for female characters, sometimes we get 1 good female character out of 4 or 5.

Has oda been inconsistent since the beginning of the series regarding female characters powers? Yes IMO.

Is fan service a part of why Oda is showing female characters this way? Yes.

is it working (the fan service)? Yes.

Do I expect it to continue? Yes (anything works will continue, trust me)

Now, about Bonney, I don’t think Oda put her outta the picture, I think her time is yet to come, but if Oda really did Role her out, I would be very disappointed.

Good point.
And if you remember, Hancock who might be the 2nd strongest or 3rd strongest female characters in One Piece about to get clapped by Coby (+SSG) or Fujitora.
3 of the strongest female known in One Piece already got disrespected.
The only saviour is if Oda show what is Smoothie capable of in the future, and we still have Bonney, Gion (Momousagi), and Catarina Devon.

Just another reason why Small Boobs rule.
