>>3073297>Tho i'd say that none of the female cast in Eva fit into "strong independant womyn" archetype.I believe Asuka can be construed to be at least the realistic version fo the "stronk independent womyn" - someone who is boastful, but does not have the strength to validate her boasts. That is Asuka, she is but a doll who pretends not to be.
As such, Asuka (and to some degre Misato) can despite their roles be construed to be strongly anti-feminist. Asuka for obvious reasons, as she is a truly useless woman unless being controlled and continuously given false validation she was trained to receive.
But Misato? How is she anti-feminist? Well, she is a woman who can only communicate through spreading her legs, and feels constant guilt about the one guy in the show she bedded. Such exessive sexual guilt is inherently anti-feminist. Despite Misato's role as an officer, it was shown that she too was used, although like Rei, Misato knew better and started investigating.
