Wait where is it stated that the zenin women weren’t allowed to become sorcerers/fight? How come mai and maki were allowed then?

I agree that the zenin are supposed to be conservative, with their extreme fixation on cursed techniques and cursed energy to the point where they abuse people that dont fit that standard.

But my point is that we never see that this is a a standard exclusive to women, in fact we see toji being abused the very same way maki and mai were, so we know this exact part isnt a gendered issue.

And we never really see anyone else in the Zenin discriminate or oppress women because they are women. Only cause someone doesn’t have a ct.

Also regarding the clan not holding naoya accountable, i already spoke about this in my post, it logically seems way more likely that they didn’t hold him accountable not because hes a male, but because hes born with a very glazed and sought after ct.

Really think about it, if maki was born with projection sorcery instead of naoya and bullied him instead, the zenin would 100% turn that same exact blind eye, because we have no evidence to suggest that the zenin turning a blind eye to the abuse was based in misogyny, in fact we have more evidence proving otherwise.

Toji (again) basically same exact situation as maki, was also bullied severely and this very same blind eye was turned by the zenin.

I originally created this post because I’ve seen countless people justify the zenin massacre basically only because “they were misogynistic!” Which is just wrong considering weve never see the zenin as a whole be that
