Do we know how many years into the future is Girls und Panzer supposedly happening?
And what caused gender roles to completely reverse?

Present day. Their timeline diverges around XIX Century.

Can't be present day just looking at Boko androids in the museum. It seems to be at least 20-30 years into the future.

Only fluff about it is that senshado originated from rich European ojous running rallies in war surplus tankettes. Bertha Benz was said to be a pioneer of that. Senshado is more or less their in universe version of equestrian sports.
Many details were left vague to avoid writing themselves into a corner,.
Nathaniel Rivera
I always assumed the male population decreased to a dangerous low because of the war, and it didn't manage to recover even now, so that's why there are so many girls only school, senshado became a female exclusive thing and why saori never find a boyfriend
Jonathan Davis
Present day (ish) as an alternate timeline after WWII.
Gender roles haven't reversed. If anything, Sensha-do reinforces the gender barrier. Tankery/Sensha-do as a recreational activity (the series never calls it a sport) was simply built from its conception as a "feminine" activity akin to flower arrangement and tea ceremony. That's why the Student Council pitch used phrases like, "You will be cute, like the treads of the tank! You will be a better girlfriend and be popular with boys!" Saori joins because it will help her find a boyfriend, and the Mallard team joins under the pretense that "Sensha do creates strong women and wise mothers!" At it's core it's pretty submissive to traditional male dominance.
>That said all the adults we meet involved Sensha-do are strong willed, high functioning, independent women, so the stereotype kind of inverts itself

This is bullshit. All families we know have female heads.
"You will be a better girlfriend and be popular with boys!" is more like early XX century stuff about army boys being more popular with girls and "Sensha do creates strong women and wise mothers!" is more like old sayings that army turns men into wise fathers.

No.

The gender roles aren't reversed. Shensha do is seen as a feminine activity. In other words no explanation is needed because explaining fiction kills fiction and makes it absurd - this happened to Sup Forums media, and you end up with LORE bullshit and perpetual bitching. Excessive explanations kill stories.
The actual answer is - guys like weapons and guys like cute girls, ergo shensha do. And nothing more is necessary.

>not reading the greentext
Mind, we've met a total of five family women. Two chair Sensha-do associations on the national level and one is from a long line of flower arrangers. When Sensha-do and flower arranging take the forefront of the family activities, enough to engage their children in spartan training, I think it's safe to say that they're the exception rather than the rule.
On the other hand another is the only surviving elderly relative of a cast member whose parents died in an accident. The last one runs a barber shop with the only husband we see in the series. (Saori mentions her dad off hand, saying that he says he loves her) So I think it's possible that our knowledge of families runs far too extreme to make a clear assessment of women and Sensha-do in-universe.

But they haven't? Senshado is a sport the same as if American Football is a male sport, Senshado is a female sport. Boys and men are still boys and men. Tanks are just seen as effeminate.

Kendo or Ninjitsu are seen as feminine there though.

Because it's an all female school? Go to the boys school ships and I bet you'd find both of them there.

Andrew Scott

That would make since, actual tank warfare isn't about getting up close to enemy tanks for CQC, ramming, and garish colors unless your playing world of tanks. This is pretty much glorified airsoft maches
William Reyes
School ships are a thing in GuP, are you telling me boys don't go to school?
Levi Bailey
>I think it's safe to say that they're the exception rather than the rule
Why? There is nothing to suggest that. Nobody mentions that those families are unusual.
Julian Kelly
>itt autists try to argue that GuPverse isn't the feminist paradise we've all prevented
Gavin Martin
Of course not. They marry early and become house husbands.
Nathan Walker
Iirc it as a womans thing came about as a result of some mothers/wives campaign in wwII to keep their sons/husbands out of tanks by pushing tanks as an effeminate thing. Can't quite remember where this was mentioned though, definitely not in the animated material
Jose Watson
>the principal of their school is a man
Brandon Morales
In hindsight I shouldn't have mentioned the Akiyamas considering that they're a family unrelated to Sensha-do.
There was a heavy tone when Hana was disowned by her mom on account of SCARY TANKS. Also the other girls don't experience spartan training like Maho, Miho, and Alice. In episode 1 after Miho wakes up out of habit she instantly makes her bed and prepares her clothes before stopping to say, "Oh right! I'm not at home anymore!" Even though she lives in the dorms, Alice only gives herself space equivalent to a paperback for her Boko collection while the entire room is dedicated to Sensha-do. We see from the homes of Yukari, Saori, and Mako that the level of discipline they experience isn't normal.

They didn't. It's just that tanks are seen as a feminine thing. As for the why on that... honestly, I don't really care. I'm watching a show about high school girls doing a sport that consists of tank combat using actual projectiles where no-one is actually killed or injured and go to school on aircraft carriers; a plausible explanation for why tanks are a girl thing isn't the biggest strain on suspension of disbelief.

Those are girly unarmed planes. True men shoot at each other in manly dogfights until one of them comes crashing down to earth.
Which makes you wonder how carbon coating saves them from that.

Liking Murken tanks is bad enough, but liking one grossly overrated example to the extent that she overlooks the one senshado-legal model that's actually worth the time of day is just AGF-levels of criminal negligence.
Luke Powell
You are shit.
Lucas Taylor
So are other team captains also council presidents of their schools or it's just her?
Christian Bennett
Danke.
Aiden Collins
Planes got associated with boys because once mothers found out that pilots had better odds of surviving war than tank crew, they encouraged their sons to take up planes rather than tanks.

It's probably easier to make tank crew disappear.
