Honestly, I like her, cause normally in the series, even if a woman is strong, they are put in situations where they seem weak.

Greatest example is Sakura. In part 1, she was noted to be pretty good for a genin (especially one just out of the academy) but she was pitted in an A-rank mission not fit for a genin, against Orochimaru, then Gaara. In Part 2, she started off okay, but then Kishi doesn't even use her properly after the battle with Sasori and Orochimaru's hideout. By the time she's a Kage Level, the battles are in God level. (the worst part is that she actually has a lot of the qualities necessary for being a heroine, Kishi just doesn't use her)

Tayuya was basically killed really fast after Temari showed up, giving her near victory nothing.

Kurenai was said to be equal to Itachi in genjutsu SKILL (though he has better techniques -so even if their skill is equal, Itachi had the better weapons & he was better in everything else)..... so even though she should be amazing, we don't see much of her

Then there is Tsunade, where in part 1, we didn't see her full abilities and then had to deal with her trauma. In part 2, during the invasion of Pain, because she was so busy healing the village, she couldn't really fight. When we finally get to see her (and another powerful female, Mei Terumi) in battle, they are pit against Madara who was already OP when he came out.

Basically, even if the female is actually strong, they will be matched up badly or put in some sort of position where they would be useless.

Sure, off screen, they might do great stuff (like on their missions and things that we won't ever see), but in the scenes we actually get to see, they won't be put in positions where they could actually do something.....

That is why I like Kaguya, she's a female who is actually put in a great position to show case her power (well Sakura had 2 moments, but considering how long she was in the series, it's just not fair)..... the only downside is that she will somehow lose
