Anyone noticed Sun Vulcan blatant sexism?

LOL. He was trying to give examples for when Sentai is not sexist, but...the fact that she had to pretend to be a guy kinda says something. Those are two completely different arguments.

I fail to see the sexism in that though. She took measures to hide her identity. I bet the writer's didn't even know what they wanted to do with the character until later on, when they decided to make it a girl as a twist. Would it be sexist for a man to disguise his voice as a woman?

Depends on the reasoning, really. If he's trying to hide from someone, then no. If he disguised his voice as a woman's because women are considered more trustworthy than men, then...kinda?

Woman-disguises-herself-as-a-dude-to-do-awesome-stuff is a pretty old Japanese pop culture trope. Old enough that I'd hesitate to analyze it in light of Super Sentai until I had a better idea of where it came from.

All I could really say about it now is that Rose of Versailles is awesome and I can't believe any trope that gave us Rose of Versailles is intrinsically bad. It and Glass Mask are really the first two big "feminist" shoujo manga.

I think Mori Megumi is the real hardcore one here. Damn she is the one who is taking it...

You're just saying that because you want me to have sex with you and not Megumi.
