Random Poll of the Day! (601)

I use "boyish" as in the opposite of "girly", not of "girlish". Yeah, sue the english language.

I wanted to do a different poll (some people can probably guess what) but since I'm extremely busy tonight, I decided to do one that wouldn't require too much time.

For whatever reason, American society seems oversensitive about boys who want to do "girly" things than the other way around, so maybe that.

Also, fanart+ shonen anime = easy way to make boyish things girly. :V If you use those distinctions, which I think fewer people do nowadays.

What pofa said about American society

Also, imagine trying to make a Magical Boy animu that actually worked. One transformation sequence and things would just get weird unless done right .3.

Yeah, closest we'll get to having Magical Boy transformation sequences is Shugo Chara. ^^;

Also went with making girly things boy-friendly. ^^;

Aren't there boys in Sailor Moon who turn into females? XD

Making girly things "boy-friendly" because, in my experience, girls are a lot more adaptable.

Take a girly concept and try to make it also "boy-friendly" because boy-ish concepts are often times molded with girly-concepts nowadays.

The making girlish things boy-friendly, since it is stuck in peoples subconsciousness that guys are "better" and there for it is good that a girl is boyish but if a guy is girlish, well.. Then he is gay which is bad (or just gay). This is not how I feel, but I will admit that it is there in the back of my head even if I fight it.

It seems to me like girls have become a tad bit overpowered lately. T_T

It's something I've had to fight because of how I was raised too.

Well to me it's kinda true. All of these girls you see nowadays have full control over every guy they meet. They're hot, they're smart, they're strong, and they make the guys look like idiots. There needs to be a balance and I think the girl's side is becoming a little too strong. :(

That speaks more to the slow but steady demoralization of guys than the overpowering of girls

Well the way they are overpowering the guys makes it look like all guys are sex-crazed, stupid, and easy to control and amaze if you have a pair of breasts. It's just not right. T_T

How do you mean?


The constant female heroes who can get anything they want out of any boy or seduce any boy or are so much smarter and wiser than the boy. That seems to be a reoccurring theme in television and movies and even books...
