What Do You Guys Make Of My Perspective?

[MM305]

Since I I have posted threads on wondering if it's wrong/weird to like products/music that are more popular towards female, I'd like to share why I am really in questioned about it: Because there's usually no straight male who buys products like Disney Princess movies (for himself) & rarely any straight male fans of JB/boy bands (who are the most hated music acts ever), you might as well say they are for girls! That's how I grew up thinking: if a product appeals to one gender more than the other, then it is for them. Otherwise, what's the difference?

Plus, as MEMicster1 posted one time, he was once interested in buying "The Little Mermaid" DVD, and my mom would not let me and said "no son, it's okay to like it but it's another thing to actually have a DVD of it, it's for girls."

What do you guys make of my perspective?

I have ridden a motorbike, love rugby and cricket, understand the off side rule in football, love a good adventure book/film, am uninterested in most of those things that are considered 'female' and am pleased to live at a time when we women can actually be ourselves and not conform to someone elses idea of what we should be like. Oh yes and I am married to a man ... enjoy what you enjoy and provided it hurts no one get on with your life. Oh yes.. stag nights are much more fun than hen nights! It is great that we can be as we are at this stage of our evolution ...... have fun!

@yogi-bear When I said "Do you want to know?", I was talking from the AB's perspective!

So really, I was saying "I want to know why this is?" and "I want to know why it's considered wrong for this fact to be in existence in this day and age?"

So can you answer both questions please!

[woofgang]

"why it is" is because people think differently about things at different times over the years and in different countries. Sometimes older generations find it hard to abandon the beliefs of their youth and sometimes communities cling to views that might be seen as outmoded or even offensive elsewhere.

@woofgang When I asked "Why this is?", I'm talking about Peaspeculiars's statement on "Yes, you are right, not many males buy Disney princess/ boyband/ JB/ Little Mermaid type stuff".

So again why is it that not many males do & why it's considered wrong for this fact to be in existence in this day and age?

[woofgang]

and I think my answer covers those questions.....

I don't think it is "wrong" that you like/buy that music, but I do think it's a little strange. If one of my sons 28 and 30 were to buy them to listen to, I would think they we're peculiar and maybe worry a bit.

[MM305]

@Samuraisan I think that's my point about this. If music is for everyone, it should not be considered peculiar shouldn't it? If it's fine to do it, then that means that nothing should be wrong with your son, right?

He just likes music like anyone else would!

[Baldric]

Do anyone else think this is now past its sell by date, it's just the same old thing being trotted out over and over again, no matter what anyone says to him?

[gingejbee]

....well, if nobody responded, he'd go away....

[fiction-factory]

Yes, although each question is pretty much they same they usually get several pages of replies so I can see why MM305 is persevering here with this issue which clearly means a lot to him at his stage in life

[Baldric]

I do think ginger makes a valid point to be fair!

[MM305]

Again, should it not be considered peculiar if music is for everyone?

So @Samuraisan, wouldn't that mean your son is not weird, he's only liking whate he liked right?

[mastercraft]

So, MM, how about putting this thread to bed.

[MM305]

@methyl I could have used JT, Usher, Ed Sheeran, and other artists as examples for my questions as well. The reason I used JB/Boy Bands mostly in these questions is to really test the legitimacy of your answers.

It's like I said earlier, here's the answers people will give when a straight male asks about liking these artists:

Like the male artists I listed:"Nah man its fine!
Like JB/Boy Bands: "Revoke your man card you gay Fag!"

[Mamyalynne]

As it seems increasingly obvious you don't get the replies you want/need here and elsewhere, have you ever thought about just getting on with life ?

[MM305]

@mastercraft I would if anyone here can relate to me! No one here seems to like products that targets females like me, so that makes me question myself of being the "weird/unusual/peculiar" individual among all of us here.

So if someone here can relate to me in this manner, maybe I'll be more convinced!

[MM305]

@Mamyalynne Meaning, get along being that weird/unusual/peculiar individual? Your saying that's okay?

(sighs).....Oh Well.......

[mastercraft]

Ma'm, use your power and save us all from repetition.
