How do Japanese females view anime?

American media tends to portray females as strong willed, goal minded, intelligent people.  While anime does this as well, there tends to be an emphasis on characters driven by emotions.

How do females in Japan view representations of females in anime?  In other words, what seems "off" or "wrong" about a certain female portrayal, and what seems accurate?  What do females in Japan criticize or feel offended by with character representations. 

For example, a shy, narrow minded, ditzy girl might seem "sexist" in the US, but would simply be one of any number of personalities in anime.  Other examples include girls that are overly enthusiastic, overly emotional, overly shy, naive, innocent, hyper, etc.

Do Japanese females prefer certain types of personalities, or wish females were represented in different ways than they currently are?    

As you know it, feminism has made the great achivement in America, maybe the most successful feminism country in the world. But American feminism was ended in failure in Japan. The American feminism looks like it says "men and women are equal", but actually the concept is "women must become men". America has least "history", so American women were naturally able to accept to abondon their "pride of woman" and act just same as men.
Japanese feminist tried to import this American feminism. At the begining, they got an enthusiastic welcome, but soon Japanese women found how absurd it was. It's true that women who can mimic men's way should get the sexual equality. But how about who want to be feminine, in another words, who don't want to lose the women's pride and mimic men's way? America successed to establish the common sence of "the way of people is the men's way" without noticing it. Japanese women noticed it by instinct, and objected it. That's one of the reason Japanese feminism couldn't bring it's ideal results.

"American media tends to portray females as strong willed, goal minded, intelligent people. "  Hmm, the fact paradoxically shows women who are not abler than men are not portrayed in media. This is what we says "reverse sexual discrimination".

I watch many Hollywood films and I always feel that they are contaminated by the reverse disctimination. I hardly find the heroine who is very feminine as well as heroic like Saler Moon. "Cat Woman" and "Saler Moon" are completely different at heart. Do you get what I mean?

Talking about anime, I think the portrayals are two way. Those who act "shy, narrow minded, ditzy" but the truth is (or eventually develops to) "strong willed, goal minded, intelligent", or those who act "strong willed, goal minded, intelligent", but who sometimes show their "shy, narrow minded, ditzy" side.
Two different mental sides is the basic of anime's character deelopment.

lol. It just shows she is loser. She place the blame for her unmarriage to the problem of society, run away from the reality, and detract Japan from oversea. Don't take such a woman's words seriously.
