@jonahbyrne8286 That's the thing, they built the story so they can address it all the time. While we are in a sensitive time ourselves. Might be political agenda trying to be subtle about it, instead of forcing it down our throats like other shows.
After all, we don't have just a patriarchal world, we have also no merciful exceptions, all men, and the protagonist is a woman which does something that women never do, only men: go for revenge. Then she cuts down hundreds of men. Don't you think this is a bit much?
I wanted to dive into fantasy there, not be reminded of our political problems at every turn.
Also if she's not a Mary Sue, how did she melt down that metal which the master couldn't, without him noticing? She's just not "that much of" a Mary Sue, like for example Rey Skywalker.
I'm not impressed by the story yet. Maybe a few more episodes will do, maybe not.

@bluexy121 No, as usual people like you interpret my words stupidly into pure garbage.
I said, she swimming in ice cold water made no sense. The patriarchy makes sense, but it's too much, it's annoying. It's everywhere, they didn't focus just on one oppression of the main character, but multiple ones. It's like the writers wanted to remind us that they think our current society is an evil patriarchy as well (which it is not, btw).
But, fine. Apparently there's more to the story when you continue. But there's another issue:
I researched a bit, although not for days. Found an article saying that japanese women have been oppressed since 600ac and the buddhism religion made women look evil. Women were even forbidden to learn, and some woman learned from spying on her brothers being taught, and then wrote some awesome book (wonder why the men didn't destroy that book). The author of that article was a history graduate, and more importantly, a woman.
Another source however, more like a masters thesis, wrote my a man, wrote that women were valued up to 1300ac, they had education and were deep in arts, it also mentioned that awesome book, which was written in 1100ac.
You see the issue? One gender is lying. And since it's similar to our current societal situation, I'm guessing the women want to paint men as waaaaaay worse than we really are.
And that's getting reflected in the Blue Eye Samurai, because one writer is a woman and the other probably a simp. It's not just about that the patriarchy exists, it's how it's presented as well.
