Onna dakara, to Party wo Tsuihou Sareta no de Densetsu no Majo to Saikyou Tag wo Kumimashita

[freman2682]

Author pushes the feminist view way too hard that it steers straight to the opposite. Not a single man so far is likeable or even decent. Every man is a chauvinistic pig, treats women like cattle. Every woman is a harassment victim, being wronged by men, even the girl on the pathetic male childhood friend immediately gets redeemed because of course she does because she's a woman, can't have a woman be bad. This is always my trigger for feminist work - characters are defined solely on gender, if a character is a woman you bet she's gonna be good or sympathetic, if a character is a man you know he's gonna be an assholde/evil somewhere down the line. This combines with the yuri pairing (nothing wrong with that of course, if you're gay you do you) just gives me a strong impression author just hates men, which is not how actual well-meaning feminists are.

I get that author is a woman trying to empower women, especially because Japan has a massive sexism problem, but when you portray your world in pure black and white - men bad, women good, you're not really fighting sexism are you? You are being the exact problem you're trying to fight. If you want to push actual equality, there need to be equality in how both genders or portrayed.

That said, I've got a few more chapters to churn through, let's see if there's gonna be a gasp normal man.

Yeah, I think the author is laying the "because you're a woman" reason on a bit thick and unnecessarily.
For example, "You don't deserves to be treated like that, because you're a woman" is a annoying statement.
You're human. No one deserves to be treated like that. Why are we unnecessarily specifying women here?
This isn't even one of those "Black lives matter. No! All lives matter." Kind of situation, because the characters aren't even being targeted specifically for being a woman, they were just a person who got caught up in something and they just happened to be a woman. Saying "They're just a person who is being abused and they shouldn't be abused because they're a woman" is a bit weird.

Maybe its just the translator being weird, who knows. Nonetheless, goodish manga if you're fine with some clichés and weird stereotypes being thrown around for some reason. Kinda original concept.

Based off the comments. This is a no read.

Wish that some people would just say that they're incels and just move on. We get it. No need to try and pretend to be like Spock and "sound logical". Because it just sounds like pure bitterness.

I agree.

Some of them are still throwing stickers at my posts like it's going to earn them feminist points or something. lol

Spoiler

Those feminists will always hate you, just so you guys here know.

And for the females here playing the same game--those feminists hate you even more; any antipathy any male could have toward you is insignificant compared to the sheer intensity of that created by feminine rivalry.

This manga is awful. It starts out cute and somewhat funny but then you see the men are portrayed as sexist trash that only exist to be humbled/overcome. Someone posted ages ago saying this was just the female version of the typical male power fantasy manga where women only exist to join a man's harem. Wrong. Massively wrong. A million harem manga have a wimpy male MC that is super nice to women. So many aren't attacking women to build up men. Tons of series for men have strong competent awesome female characters. Just look at something like One Hit Kill Oneesan or whatever it's called. That kind of stuff is commonplace just to different degrees. This manga is basically saying women should discard men because they're garbage which is just as bad as sexism towards women and everyone loses. Saying X group of people is so bad you should go gay so you don't have to deal with them is messed up. What if the MC was straight? Should she fake being gay or something because men are so awful? This stuff is crazy.

Finally, the lesbian power fantasy I was looking for. Sometimes you just want to read some people being cartoonishly evil getting stomped on because reality is messy and complicated and rarely has such easy answers. The idea behind this manga is this ONE GUY designed an entire society around validating his ego by oppressing women. It is INSANE and I love it because it means they can ACTUALLY punch the patriarchy in the face. He is the patriarchy. Destroy him.

There's just something about the last chapter (29.3) and the title drop of "Onna dakara". the women supporting women message. It's silly and unrealistic but that's okay. I didn't come here expecting a nuanced commentary on current day gender politics!! I came for the lesbian power fantasy and I'll stay for it!!

They see this and feel like it's an attack against them, either due to being overly invested in the culture war and/or being insecure. I'm a guy and I don't have either of these problems.

Absurd incel pile on this comment section aside, does the translation get any better? I read like 6 chapters from squiggles+sleepy but there's so many sentences that don't grammar right and it completely kills my interest.

 

[PantPocket]

The way it portrays its message is very clumsy but I can get down with it, it’s very nice to see an Isekai with the girl’s love tag not just gay baiting

 

[shanaismaiwaifu]

When you call people incels you're just telling us you will blindly devour propaganda/wish fulfillment no matter what. Ask what incel even means. Why are you saying everyone who dislikes what you like can't get a girlfriend/get laid? That's pretty ridiculous and childish behavior, especially when a lot of people would call you an incel just for liking manga regardless of gender.
