I kind of hate how sexist this show actually is. If you pay close attention, all there ever is is a female lead character in any sort of situation (Gilda for example). I mean, the only two males that actually seem to interact with the lead characters are Spike and Macintosh, but Macintosh hardly ever speaks at all. They also seem to show as girls as being overly superior, and boys either being incredibly stupid (Snips and Snails, Rainbow Dash's bullies), nothing but muscle (such as the ones pulling the plows in the "Winter Wrap Up" episode, or the Train in "Over a Barrel"), or completely whipped (in "Green is not Your Color", where the stallions are carrying Photo Finish around.) I understand it's a girl's show, but is it really a good idea to show such sexism to young girls? Whatever happened to genders being equal? There's rarely a time where the girls interact with a male pony without them turning out to be overly stupid, arrogant, or completely silent overall. However, though this is the impression I have of it now, I've only just finished "Over a Barrel" and Braeburn seemed to be pretty decent. He was a little annoying when first introduced, but not too bad.

Maybe more boys are introduced later on? Not sure. I'll have to watch the rest of the episodes, but so far, I'm pretty disappointed and disgusted with the sexist setting.

Being a feminist does NOT mean having a superiority complex to males. It's a search for equality between the genders, and that's what the message ought to be to young children.

Just my two cents.
