Yet another reason why I'm never, never, never getting within a
hundred miles of Japan.  (kidding)

Seriously, I have to wonder what would happen if the feminist
revolution ever hit the Japanese culture with full force.  Would the
ideals change, like they obviously have here?  I look at all the maids
and catgirls and robots and feel like I'm watching stuff from the 50s
or early 60s sometimes.

Oh, and where does Misato fall on this scale?
