    Ok, point me to where a woman in one of these novels says or does something sexist and someone actually says something about it. I'll wait.

    In fact, I think this thread is the perfect example. I simply asserted the notion that sexist women aren't frowned upon and not only am I bombarded by a plethora of people, but everyone decides to think of as many examples of sexist men instead of talking about what I actually said.

    The women he met when he first came into that world.
    He raped her on her wedding night over and over again and then killed her

    You're picking out pieces of my comment instead of the whole thing, so I assume you are trying to troll. Still, I am specifically pointing out the 2 most likely scenarios because they are the classic xianxia treatment for women.
    1. Woman is unwilling to stop killing men because she is evil. MC kills her. Doesn't matter how reasonable her motives are. She's just a man-hating bitch now so she has to die.
    2. Woman is unwilling to stop killing men because she hasn't found the right man. MC is that man. For some reason he is the man she has always needed to meet and now he can solve all her problems. With his dick.
    This is how xianxia novels usually portray "strong" women. Again, I have not read this particular novel but I'm willing to bet this woman falls into one of these two categories.

    It's not that it isn't frowned upon, but you are comparing things written by men for their own satisfaction of belittling these existences. There are people who get a hard on for bringing women who wouldn't bat them an eye down.

    As for why the thread is not going in the direction you wanted, well that is probably because you went too much off topic. The more things you give people to talk about, the more side issues will be addressed which may not be what you wanted.

    I would probably not have brought up women sects which seems to the major reason your thread is going off course. And if I remember correctly you made a similar thread a few months back which went off course for the same reason.

    ok you people sure do love to make up a plethora of rape senarios and make it sound like every woman is constantly a victim of rape in each and every one of these novelsand just now you tried to think of as many examples of a woman getting raped in her sect as possible and yet, NONE OF THAT IS CANON!! If the author doesn't explicitly say that women are constantly being harassed and assualted then you can't just declare that the case!! And if the author does write a few women being unfortunate enough to find herself in that situation, WHO ARE YOU TO GENERALIZE THAT TO EVERY DAMN FEMALE IN TUE NOVEL!! When has the author ever said that female sects exist to protect women from men, YOU GUYS MADE THAT UP!!

    You seem to just want somebody to agree with you. So here:

    Xianxia does not criticize women for being sexist. Ever. You are correct.
    This is because xianxia authors don't bother to write women properly. Being a man-hating bitch is an easy go-to to explain why some beautiful, physically strong woman doesn't have a man yet. None of the characters ever complain about it because the woman invariably ends up in love with a man or dead. I have read several stories with such women (dozens if you include the ice queen type) and have yet to see an exception. The author doesn't call them out for being sexist because it is just unnecessary character development.

    "And if I remember correctly you made a similar thread a few months back which went off course for the same reason."

    And as I said earlier in this thread, I no longer try and have any sort of discussion or debate on this site. Because just like with that thread several months ago and many other threads, people on this forum never play nice to begin with. Firstly, someone will say one thing and after 5 minutes of arguing in that direction someone will join the argument and not even bother to read everything that was said before and will say the same exact thing that the original person said which will cause the argument to loop. Secondly, the people on this forum never try to have a proper argument. It always ends up as me trying defend my stance in a logical manner up against a pack of people who validate each other's stances. What kind of argument is that? I say something and then person 2 disagrees, and then person 3 agrees with person 2 disagreeing, and then person 4 agrees with persons 2 & 3, etc. And then someone joins the argument and says some shit that was already argued about 2-3 pages ago. No thanks, you people aren't worth me having a mature argument with

    Question do you know why they made a female sec? Do you know why some women hate males? If the answer is no than drake 888 is right. Ice queens are nothing but a plot device for the MC to over come.

    Maybe i should follow your lead and create a post to whine about how unfair you're being. "Monsanto won't throw me a parade!" "He only argues with poorly worded rebuttals and replies to mine with 'cool' but he won't put in the effort to tell others how cool I really am!"

    So you say, but the only counter-argument you've given me was aimed at a small portion of one of my posts and you completely disregarded the other two. I posit that you are a whiny bitch who is afraid to fight a losing battle.
