I find it pretty jarring how people complain about how "sexist" this show is.

First, this show is supposed to appeal to girls, where the girls are protagonists. I don't hate the male characters at all and some are funny.

Second, there are shows out there who appeal to boys that depict females as b****y, rude, weak, and damsels, but people rarely say anything. Yet a show depicts females as competant (Rainbow Dash, Trixie (I know she's a villain, but I'm still adding her), Twilight Sparkle etc)  and can hold their own, people get mad. What's so wrong with action girls (ponies lol)?

Third, I know that people are entitled to their own opinions, but when people call the show sexist, it's annoying, because smetimes it implies that women aren't supposed to be viewed as "heroes", and are only supposed to be weak or b-.
