I think there is a particular flavor of sexism that shows up in a lot of anime. To whit, does a female character -Have only one relationship to a single male figure? -Or have no relationships to men at all? -Or have an abstract relationship to all men? (this is the idol thing)

If this is your unconstrained optimization problem end point for a 30-40 year policy project, that is fine. You shouldn't pre-compromise. But with a "project 2029" label it comes across as puppies and rainbows stuff. And you don't want to rush implementation (::cough Quebec::).
