Your story is big step backwards in that respect, in that 
being a woman means you like doing housework and hate 
violence.

But that's what happened in the episode where Ranma hits his
head and thinks he's a girl....

The whole *point* of that story is that Ranma was acting out his own
sexist interpretation of what being a woman is like.  When he was cured,
he immediately realized how stupid he was being.

Benjamin's story takes an entirely viewpoint, that the very *nature* of
being a woman means that you conform to sexist ideals, and *that* is
what I object to.
