Umm it's not about that, it's about getting validation from fellow knights or teachers and people whose opinion matter . It's about wanting people to appreciate her skill, you are just insulting the female knight by saying that she's seeking validation from men don't do that, she wants other knights who happen to be male to respect her and treat her like a companion. I know your heart is in right place just try to see what's happening before saying anything. Peace(￣∇￣")
Bestie, i was kidding☆. I know that's not the intention of that scene at all. Its just that within another context, that scene can very easily be viewed that way.
Yay!!! Another woman saved by the validation of a man!! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
