Feminism and Kill La Kill?

//Kill La Kill quasi-spoilers ensue.

So I really have no idea what to think of Kill La Kill.  On one hand, its portrayal of women is highly sexualized.  I mean, its portrayal of men is also sexualized, so you could say the whole show is just sexualized, which is true, but it's pretty skewed nonetheless.  So it's definitely fanservice for male otaku, and I feel like that should make me uncomfortable.  But there are certainly statements that are girl-positive.  And in Japan, it seems that a lot of hyper-feminine things are used as leverage points for women to feel more confident.
Maid cafés, for instance.  It's fun for all involved, and there are strict rules to ensure that the women in the cafés have the upper hand in any interactions and, if anything, are talked up to.  Of course, it's also necessary that women are free to get that respect when they choose not to act stereotypically or exaggeratedly feminine.  It's also important not to hold people to any arbitrary standard of beauty, whereas Mako blatantly tells Ryuuko that her boobs are bigger than Satsuki's and that means she should be fearless.

But the men in the anime who objectify the women are pretty overtly portrayed as gross scumbags... in a cringe kind of way, sure, but is their womanizing ever entirely decried?  The two men from Nudist Beach seem to be treating Ryuuko inappropriately, but is their behavior more a testament to the whole clothing-nudity conceit?  The teacher definitely seems to be a womanizer, which is both glorified and critiqued.  The other guy seems to just be doing his job, you know, because kamui aren't just regular clothing and all.

Then there's the girl power.  The women totally walk all over the guys whenever they please.  The Mankanshoku mom bosses the dad around like it's no big deal.  The region's lord supreme is a girl.  The protagonist is a girl who doesn't let the men anywhere near her and has no love interest.  Additionally, the female badassery is immense.  They definitely hold strength in this world, and they wield their sexuality the way they want, whereas the men are constantly reduced to nosebleeding chibis.

What about the notion of "shame"?  The message seems to be "women, don't feel shame about your bodies".  This is probably a positive thing to say, but I can't really defend that the statement comes from Trigger.  Consider that telling girls they should have the freedom to expose their bodies as they wish is just as consistent with chauvinist objectification as it is with feminism.  Men aren't wearing kamui at any point, so the same message for men isn't really manifested in any clear way.  Scattered is the idea that nobody should be ashamed of their body, regardless of gender, but it's almost an aside.

(Also, is anything in this show really happening?  Is it actually just some elaborate fantasy in Ryuuko's head, as is intimated by the closing sequence?  If that's the case, then that throws a really fucking big wrench into things.)

So is this show feminist?  Probably not.  Is it possible to watch this show and not feel uncomfortable?  No.  Is it possible to get something out of this show and enjoy it?  I'd say it depends on who you are and how you watch anime.

Personally, I love the thrill of this show and I find both Satsuki and Senketsu to be ultra hot and transcendentally awesome.  I'm watching it because it's fun and thought-provoking for me.  I guess I'm trying to decide whether it's a good show to suggest to people, and what disclaimers and advisory warnings should be given with such suggestions.

In summation, I want Senketsku on my body.
