Umm... actually, saying what you said is more likely to get the feminists angry - watch the Basic Instinct unrated DVD and listen to the very astute comments made by the feminist commentator. You see, feminism has something of a bad rap because of a relatively few (but outspoken) extremists. The concept of feminism is not anti-male... it's merely about recognition that females and femininity are equal (but different than and distinct from) males and masculinity.

Sorry about that, Kumi-chan [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/frown.gif[/img]. But so far, I've only had experience of those extremist you speak of (since those extremists always seems to find some way to get the most attention in media...), and it's those I wouldn't want after my ass ^^;;;Shikage Nagi is female, yes. So is Yura-san, the character designer of Slave Bazaar and Utsukushi Hime, and well as being involved with Dokusen. So is Vanilla, who did the designs for Jishuusei ("Student-Teacher"... or what we might call a "teacher's assistant" or TA in college).
So is Aya Kadoi, who did the character designs for both Kakyuusei and Refrain Blue.
So is Kazuko Tadano, who did the designs for Sailor Moon, Wedding Peach, Graduation OVAs, etc.
...and so is CLAMP, and Yuu Asagiri, and many other women. There are many women who are very proud of and comfortable about their sexuality and their gender. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
I know, I know [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]. But i just asked the question since, well... on one of the boards where I posted the poll to Dokusen, one of the girls of that forum wanted to know a little more about some of the female artists, and I told them a little about Yura-san... I also wanted to tell them alittle about Shikage Nagi, but since I werent sure if she was a male or a female (Hey! Japanese names can be tricky! [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/redface.gif[/img]), but since I know that now, I'll tell them a little about her too [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
