Some great thoughts here. I've always seen more sexism against women than against men, but this really shows that it can just as easily run both ways.<br /><br />And it's really too bad that there's still such stigma against boys doing "girl" things. That's precisely the reason why male-oriented entertainment has a broader appeal range, because it's (generally) acceptable for girls to cross over and enjoy male-focused works, but boys won't do the same for female-focused works. I know you're not a fan of TVtropes, but they had an article on it I thought was interesting:<br /><br />http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GirlShowGhetto<br /><br />That having said, sometimes you will see males appreciate something uncharacteristic. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has a remarkable number of male fans, and many of them are adults too. But alas, the MLP fandom seems to be far more the exception than the rule.Ian Rideouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14763413598393896132noreply@blogger.com
