I was literally just about to post this exact same reply!

Liam, considering your desire for a "dark and gritty" sentai season and your desire for an elimination of all females from the franchise, I sincerely wonder what it is you even like about Sentai. "Light & breezy" and "gender cooperation" are fundamental parts of this franchise -- sentai wouldn't be sentai without them.

I wish you would stop trying to poke holes in our arguments and start trying to internalize what we're actually saying. What does it say to you that not one person agrees with you regarding gender in Sentai? And why would you keep saying these things over and over, when just about everyone vehemently disagrees with you?

Liam, I suspect that one day you'd like to date or be in a relationship with an intelligent, interesting, capable woman. Am I right there? If that's the case, I really think you should reevaluate a lot of your positions regarding gender, otherwise that's not going to happen. I implore you to ask yourself, whenever you think of something that excludes women or treats them as inferior or unworthy, how you would feel if you were a woman and heard someone say these things to you. Like, really really think about how what you're saying would make you feel if it was being said to you. Use every ounce of empathy to put yourself in their positions. If you do this for even just a week, I bet you'll come out the other end as a better person.
