Imagine a headline "A Male Artist Who Shaped Manga History". That would sound ridiculous. A headline with "female" is the same kind thing if you like equality.

These people don’t want equality, they want confrontation. They feed on comments like yours; ignoring these posts is the best course of action.

It's notable because the field is mostly male. That's really all there is to it. It's right there in the subhead "an overlooked Japanese cartoonist who smashed both gender and genre norms".

Males who insist that there is a political agenda in articles like this make the same mistake as the feminists who argued that missiles are phallically shaped because they were invented by men
