reasons why the southern water tribe are clearly sexist
1. we see that katara and the other women often wear pants. this is clearly an attempt to show that pants and thus men, the true inventors of pants, are superior and not at all because pants help keep your legs warm.
3. the men have long hair, most notably sokka, an extremely manly man, even wears his hair in a ponytail. this is clearly to assert the superiority of the male species as they appear extremely fashionable in a way superior to women’s ponytails.
2. they all wear blue. blue is clearly a very masculine colour, much like the ocean which is ruled by the male ocean spirit, la. clearly, if the water tribes were feminist they’d all dress in pink, just like the feminist and super-progressive fire nation military.
c) they all dress in animal furs, this is obviously because fur and leather are very masculine and not because these are the warmest materials available in a polar climate.
6. many of the men are shown wearing sleeveless shirts with low-cut collars. this is clearly a hate crime against women because women find it impossible to develop big muscles to appropriately show off with revealing shirts.
3. a) the women are always fully dressed and not showing any excess skin. this is clearly an attempt to show that women should be ashamed of their bodies. Examples of woman positive media: Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, World of Warcraft, Brazzers etc.
3. b) continuing with the previous point, we see that in the fire nation the women are notably freed from the patriarchy by being able to wear revealing clothing and participate in a fascist military. comapre this to the southern water tribe wear the women are forced into duties of child-rearing, hunting, fishing, cooking and other daily duties to ensure they do not starve in the polar winter. that’s extremely unfair >:(
7. comparing the ultra-liberated feminist utopia of the fire nation once more, kya (katara and sokka’s mother) had to die to truly escape the burden that is motherhood :( whereas ursa was able to merely leave in the middle of the night and abandon her children to the feminist military leader and loving father, ozai. how unfair for the water tribe women!
