True, but Akane isn't out to kill her rivals, and she has a rudimentary
sense of fair play.

Rudimentry sense of fair play.... BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH!!!!!
Get with the program, she's as bad or worse then all the others

what are you refering to here?  To the best of my knowledge Akane has
_not_ fought with any of her rivals except shampoo and kodachi and those
fights weren't about Ranma.

The girls are all horrid for fair play.

Somebody define fair play for me please!
 

Because he's the only guy chasing after Shampoo.  Why, because he's a
homicial nut with little to no honor that willingly attacks guys even
close to Shampoo.  Gee, no wonder no one else tries for Shampoo, they
actually like to live and it isn't worth risking Mousse.

Actually I never noticed that chasing _Shampoo_ would risk Mousse.  I
thought it was whoever _Shampoo_ was chasing would get the sharp end of
Mousse's chains.

Ranma would be expected to train his kids, and maybe other kids as well, but
he would have zero say in how his life was led.

You have no evidence of this.  Even in our Patriarical societies of old
the woman did have influence, not blantent or offical but it was
definitely there.

And Ranma would settle for this because... Remember he's from Japan an
extremely Patriarchal society (especially as compared to the Amazons).
Ranma's been raised to belive that he's the head of the household.  The
women in the "Patriarchal societies of old" also knew how to be subtle and
guide their husbands.  Ranma and subtle don't fit together well.

Furthermore, Ranma has made it blatantly clear he doesn't want to marry
ANYBODY yet- something which Shampoo ignores completely.

	Does anyone (Ukyo, Kodachi, Akane, _Genma_) not ignore said fact?

Akane.

<flat look>What are you reading, or watching?  Obviously not Ranma 1/2.
Akane is just as bad as everyone else for ignoring facts.

Yes, but not _that_ one
