Real Women Don't Wear Dresses/Anime and Manga/Naruto


 * When she isn't being bashed for Shipping reasons, poor Hinata Hyuuga is being bashed because of this trope. The "fans" say things like how "she is too weak, she is too shy, she is a bad role model for girls, etc." and have this annoying habit of comparing her to her "rival in love" in the Ship to Ship Combat, Sakura Haruno.
 * Hell, there's also some for Sakura and Tsunade for being two of the few recurring female characters and specializing in both fights and medicine.
 * ...And then Temari, the most pro-active Action Girl on the side of good, is warped by "feminist fangirls" into a screeching, hate-filled, cruel Jerk Sue so they can lay the smackdown on any other female character around. Nevermind that Temari actually wears her hair in pigtails, has a Shower Scene in the fillers, dresses up in a sexy yukata after the Time Skip, and doesn't demean other females for being more or less girly than she is.
 * There's an interesting inversion on this trope as far as wardrobe goes. Hinata, the Yamato Nadeshiko, typically wears pants (with the exception of one scene in Chapter 238 where she's in a robe, and in a flashback to her third birthday, where she wears an orange kimono), while the Tsunderes Sakura and Ino tend to wear skirts.
 * Actually there are three if you count the waterfall scene. *Ahem*
 * Made even more obvious at how is now being bashed and hated by almost every corner for daring to be affected (like every human person would be, if in her shoes) by . Not only she's "stupid" for, but because she's a human character who has other emotions towards  than "kill the fucking bastard", she's been "OMG chickificated 4-ever". Even when she clearly tells him " believed in you, asshole!" -- it doesn't count for "fandom feminism" because she didn't deck him in the face while doing so. Apparently, being an emotional girl and making wrong decisions because of that makes you worse and more worthy of hate and bashing than Complete Monsters like Orochimaru and Madara together -- because using children in experiments and unleashing monsters on Konoha are less horrible sins than being a girl in love.
 * Not to mention, the most recent arc in the manga has done wonders on several of the oft-relegated Kunoichi, and specially for and . What does the fandom do? Ignore it. Or ruin it by bashing them, since " just defended, so she's still subservient to males!" (Because apparently you should leave your male teammate  to die to not compromise your womanly strength) and " is supported by , that MUST mean she can't do shit on her own!" (Because the girl's group  is "only keeping her low", she must be a super lone wolf forever!).
 * And now, goes back into the Action Girl role in 540. She  The fandom, however? They completely ignore it in favor of the . Okay, that one is awesome too, but it's really gross to see how the Fan Dumb whines whenever a girl shows "weakness" and then ignores her when she's "strong".
