I had nothing to say back to her. So it was hard to admit it but I dont ever recall a female gundam pilot that was the main character...
Christina Mackenzie from "Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket"
Honestly they don't have to be the "main character".
Here's what I can simplify from your post:
You need to watch MORE, I mean more Anime. You had nothing to say because you lack "experience" with it.
There are plenty of animes that shows how females who don't fall into the stereotype..
PLENTY
Examples, to show your friend how wrong and biased she is:
(Anime's that have females as main characters and also not on the "weak side")
-NausicaƤ of the Valley of the Wind
-Avenger
-Dogs: Bullets & Carnage
-Earth Maiden Arjuna
-Kara no Kyoukai
-Kino no Tabi
-etc
Here's a really nice question to ask to your friend:
"What do you think will happen if the anime industries follows her "beliefs" 100%?
She's not the only one that watches anime, there are specific genre,age groups and gender focus. Why should she watch a male gender focused anime if she doesn't like it. Tell her to watch animes that is targeted for her, and tell her to not force her opinion upon other animes that is
NOT targeted for her.
*sigh.. the feminist movement.. wish that they didn't force their beliefs into other people...Look at what they did to the VN and eroge industry...
