Differences and discrimination are not the same thing. Fire Emblem is chalk full of perfectly strong, fully realized, sexually confident men and women and has some of the most even-handed representations of all genders. Your original point was that women were weaker, which is to say they were worse in a fight and have less utility. That's verifiably false. You've tried to claim that women in Fire Emblem are all stereotyped in the Japanese way (which is to say weak and dependent) and that's both wrong and mildly racist.
Demanding perfect gender equality is not how you fight sexism. Trying to deny certain inherent differences between the sexes is its own special kind of sexism because it implies that there is a certain default mindset that should be portrayed for everyone - and it's predominantly male.
And for the record, yes, there is at least one case off the top of my head where a woman protects a man in Fire Emblem: Louise is the one who guards her husband Pent, in spite of him being an extremely powerful mage.

Wow you have ONE exemple and it's a guy who 'need' protection. Yeah we never see him protected by his bodyguard and he go alone in a desert and beat everyone. Really Good exemple.

Ignoring the rest of my post is not a proper dismissal of those arguments; I would like them to be addressed.
Isadora protects Eliwood, and later Kent. Lyndis herself protects the player in the beginning. Rebecca is very protective of Dart. Priscilla is on a quest to save Raven. Louise protects Pent. Karla can be protective of Butz.
That's only from FE7.
Women in Fire Emblem are not weak and in need of support and protection. You are certifiably, verifiably, objectively wrong. You are saying things that are wrong, period.
Kindly address the rest of my previous post.
