Nope. You may have described your motivations, not mine. 

Truth of the matter, you complain about the behaviour of some people while displaying the same behaviour you condemn.

Your post offered no substance. He gave a detailed explanation of what was occuring. His explanation was on point. He is feeding his child an illusion. Sheltering her. Possibly  making her selfish. Teaching her that she can always get her way and twsit the world around her to her favor. Give her the belief she can change those around her to her will.  As well as steal others ideas and modify them. Instead of coming up with something original. This is the story of Link. Who happens to be male. Why should everything be genderless in society? Why is gender such a bad thing? Why is it bad that there are stories with men as the protagonist? There is nothing wrong with a story written around a female or male protagonist. You can write stories about whoever and whatever you wish. There shouldn't  be any agenda behind Link being male. It is the story they want to tell. Many females love Link. I also find Zelda to be strong in her right too. She was captured by evil yes, but especially in later Zelda games without her help and her actions Link wouldn't have overcome obstacles. It was more about teamwork than a hero saving a helpless princess. While she was trapped indeed  she didn't become totally helpless. In many ways she was the one who saved herself.

What illusion is he feeding her? You are the ones judging his parenting without even knowing who he is, or who she is.

None of you know anything about his family or what education he gives to her. You're all jumping to hasty conclusions here, and it's quite saddening to witness such a lack of empathy and understanding.
