Okay, on to your manifesto- I agree with most of your points, but I will go to a few which I felt gives room for debate first.
1. Zoro on the other hand has never won against a girl and never will since she has alrea died, so he can‘t understand why Sanji would treasure women that much. To him, they‘re just people which is why Sanji‘s ero-cook-mode feels so stupid to him.
Actually, I don't think that is the reason Zoro can't understand why Sanji would treasure women. To Zoro, it's more a case of, "girls shouldn't be treated any better than boys because girls can be equally as strong as boys." So its more a case of Zoro believing in strength regardless of gender. His seemingly harsher method of treating women is merely his way of respecting women. He treated Kuina like this, so he will treat every other girl he meets the same way. Actually, for Zoro, it is safe to say that the concept of "gender" to him does not exist. Zoro sees your strength for who you are. This is why it's so much easier for him to attack girls, compared to Sanji, who views the female species as pretty, delicate snowflakes that need to be coddled. Sanji has been brought up by Zeff to "never kick a woman!", and that is probably why he feels that women need to be treated gently. We all know how much Zeff has impacted Sanji's emotions and attitude towards life. :) To me, the theory that gender does not matter to Zoro can also be applied towards Zoro's "love interests", should One Piece go that way. Zoro can love both men and women simply because in the first place, he has already forgone the concept of gender. This is echoed in his conversation with Kuina, where he says, "I will beat you because I have become stronger, not because you have become weaker!" There is a counter argument for this though, like in Skypeia where he held a fallen Robin who had just been struck by Enel, and said, "She's a WOMAN". Which probably means that Zoro, although in general treats both women and men the same way, draws the line at needless violence towards the fairer sex. Or it could also be interpreted as Zoro telling Enel that women deserve as much respect as men, which fits Zoro's initial stance on equality more.
Thriller Bark...I've read some of the comments people have been saying regarding the phrasing, so I won't talk about that one, because I'm actually writing an essay to dissect Thriller Bark, ( and I'll be using your hints, if that's alright! ( with credit, of course :) ).
