Okay. But then why are the portrayals of boys so decidedly feminine? Does that mean they value feminine beauty more than masculine attractiveness? Isn't that inherently sexist????? Huh? huh? huh?

why do I feel a Gloria Steinem-esque bra burning event coming on?

The men aren't necessarily feminine, just highly beautiful. You are MORE LIKELY to see "mannish" girls (abnormally tall and strong). These girls will often be lesbians in the anime, but when they are dubbed into English, the dubbing companies turn the characters into men.

IE- Sailor Moon had lesbian characters, so the American company cut 2 or 3 scenes, and turned them into co-habitating "cousins".

I love it when the stars align and we get to yack like this. I may not be on at all tomorrow. Manual labor all day, then string quartet stuff in the evening. Bummer!

Have a good evening you wonderful people you.

TG is FREEAAAKING OUT! Tomorrow my software transition kicks in, so we are moving from the old system to the new....

El baca is having a COW: we are supposed to stop this multi-million dollar upgrade because it prevents her from running this piddly-wink little report on a piddly-wink subsidiary tomorrow morning. Seriously? That sub is a hole we throw money into. Big whoop if your reports are a day behind.

Its no wonder that so many kids today are so highly confused about sexuality.

I just found a note in DD's room where some person wrote about how they loved her so much that they couldn't inject enough drugs to forget her. Ick. Scary ick.
Adding it to the pile of general stuff that was already causing me to freak out....

It is hot here in the summer. You learn lots about stuff when you read as much as I do, and you can't go outside for months at a time.​

Its good that she's educating herself. Her kids are growing into a manga / anime filled world.

That said, I want to see the Last Airbender and DD doesn't. She doesn't think they can do justice to the cartoon version.
