Eeeh, I'm not referring to gender issues at all (I'd have to reread early Bleach to be sure, but I think it started out relatively on a par with this in that regard, whereas Naruto started much lower) just to the phallic imagery, which exceeds anything else I've read in shounen off the top of my head. And I've read Samurai Deeper Kyo, which has a seemingly endless barage of pictures where the male lead's sword is pointed at the female leads breasts or crotch. Not to mention that his hands are almost surgically attached to her breasts.
