This entire discussion is meaningless.
There's a difference between a perceived social injustice and a real social injustice. Having the majority of your cast be male and giving female characters a distinctly minor role in comparison to those male characters is a perceived social injustice. The injustice of it is something that the readers impose onto it via interpretation.
Now, if we had a woman who was legitimately incompetent and weak due to her having a vagina (as in, the book were to explicitly say or imply so) or Oda wanted to have a big fight with Robin/Nami versus a big bad and his editors told him no "cuz boys wouldn't like it" or we had something real and substantial to imply misogyny then that'd be a real social injustice that'd need fighting or controversy. As of right now? All we have is Tashigi being kind of a wimp and no real sign of her improving. Is this a real injustice? Well... honestly that's a bold and somewhat controversial claim to make, so it's not something I think we can exactly pinpoint unless we take her into scope in entirety. If she really does turn out to be useless to the bitter end then we'll have something to hold against Oda, but if we go making these claims and arguments and she suddenly turns around and reveals she had some kinda insane devil-fruit power the marines didn't want her unexpectedly unleashing (so they gave her over to smoker for 'safe keeping') then we'll look like the fools in the end. So I think it's safer to say this is an perceived social injustice.
And here's the problem when you have perceives social injustices: You can't really correct them. Because even if what the author wrote isn't 100% politically correct, even if what he's written doesn't completely take into account our growing multicultural world, even if what he's written is at least PARTIALLY held back from a xenophobic or gender discriminating culture, it's at least honest in that political incorrectness and perceived injustice. And when you take an author being honest and expressive and then basically tell him he has to fulfil a cultural mandate rather than tell a story, the result always comes across as phony, manipulative or just plain insensitive in it's own right. The more you (and the author) DRAW ATTENTION to social issues, the more easy it becomes to have something be offensive in it's own way.
It's the overly stupefying drive to be multinational rather than simply honest and entertaining that leads to shit like the Burger King Kids club and it's own brand of cultural racism (the black kid is good at sports and likes basketball? What a supriiiise. And the Asian kid is the smart one who's good at computers? gee willikers I didn't see that comiiiing) or you get crap like Barb Wire that thinks that if a woman is angry and shooting men with guns and hates being called pet-names that makes her strong and independent.
tl;dr just don't give a shit and try to enjoy something for what it is. If you're too obsessed with social justice to the point where seeing the horrid site of a minority or woman getting minor or less important roles sends you into bitter rant mode then you might wanna consider either getting more proactive in the entertainment industry and possibly changing it (which IIRC: Gail Simone did) or you might just wanna stop reading typical shonen manga/watching typical Hollywood films for a while.
Pitching this shit on forums and image-boards only sparks name-calling and makes you look like an ass.
