I have specified "rw" option in my /etc/fstab, but the latest ntfs3g (2016.2.22) is not respecting it:

# mount | grep ntfs
/dev/sdb6 on /mnt/foo2 type ntfs (ro,noatime,uid=0,gid=0,fmask=0177,dmask=077,nls=utf8,errors=continue,mft_zone_multiplier=1)

also tried to remount it with read+write option manually, which doesn't work either:

# mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdb6
# mount | grep ntfs
/dev/sdb6 on /mnt/foo2 type ntfs (ro,noatime,uid=0,gid=0,fmask=0177,dmask=077,nls=utf8,errors=continue,mft_zone_multiplier=1)

downgrading to sys-fs/ntfs3g-2015.3.14 solves the problem.
