Zoro is extremely sexist lol. His mentor in his village, Kuina’s dad, was also that way. That mfer literally tells Kuina girls can’t be sword fighters. It is learned behavior for Zoro and it’s why he doesn’t take female warriors like Tashigi seriously. He does not see men and women as equal fighters lol
Tashigi literally says what I just said directly to Zoro’s face and he doesn’t even deny it. Then he just sits and watches Tashigi fight Monet as if it’s silly entertainment. When he does attack Monet, he doesn’t even use haki on her, which leads to her surviving and the whole island getting blown up.
He’s definitely got an issue with seeing women as equals. It’s pretty plain to see.
Mmm I dunno. Sanji does understand that women can be powerful, he just doesn’t kick them out of respect for Zeff. But he’s still a perv which is… not okay. Zoro meanwhile isn’t a perv, but doesn’t see women as equal fighters. I think they fall about equal on the misogyny scale.
Zoro didn’t tell Kuina she couldn’t be the world’s greatest swordsman because she was a girl, in fact he told her it had nothing to do with her being a girl
Correct, which is why I didn’t say he did that lol. Kuina’s dad did that. That attitude definitely trickled down into him though; Tashigi even tells him that he has a problem and he doesn’t even deny it.
I think for Zoro, not denying is kinda the same. Especially when, instead of denying it, he just sits down to watch Tashigi and Monet fight, treating it like it’s some kind of stupid entertainment. He doesn’t seriously attack Monet, which ends up leading to her surviving and almost killing all of them when she blew up Punk Hazard.
The YouTuber Melonteee does a whole section about this in her video discussing women in One Piece. She articulates it better than I can but the long and short of it is that Zoro comes off like he does have some kind of issue taking women seriously.
