Truth?

1. Ranma's words are an act.  That much is made
clear by comparing it to what she previously
told Kunou.  

>From a C&C-offering perspective, this is not as "clear" as you're
stating.  I think you need to work more, in the story, in making it
clear that it's an act.

As for the effect the words had on Kodachi...
remember that Kodachi considers herself a
proper Japanese woman.  She would find the
idea of changing into a man repulsive, as it
would effectively destroy who she is

Again, the *impression* your story gives is that "Men Are Evil".  Both
Ranma and Kodachi act in ways that support this.  If that's *not* the
impression you want to give, I'd suggest putting in language that would
make it clearer.

That's all I'm saying.  And again, this is my opinion only.
