Well, I figure they resume their relationship, according to Pakku in the finale, so that indicates that Kanna saw something in him. Also, it's probably harder for him to realize 'society isn't fair' when it's unfair in his favor: he might have noticed Kanna was upset, but not realized it wasn't something he could do as her husband, but a systemic problem.
(And actually, I missed the bit about Yugoda on my research. Whoops.)
One detail that didn't ring true for me was the complete lack of fear Kanna felt with the hunters and with being alone with Hama whom she thought was a man.
That's a good point. I know I thought a bit about Kanna's anxiety at proving she was part of the in-group (and that the hunters were 'Water Tribe' and not outsiders), but perhaps I should have reinforced it more, since even after her time spent travelling, Kanna should have been a bit wary of a group of strange men. Or made it clear that any trust she had was due to some sense of 'we are all Water tribe, therefore I am someone's daughter, and thus protected'.
(Also, I think I need to work on the endings of my stories in general.)
