I am in fact a female, so whatever you're trying to prove by bringing that up is a moot point.

I never said that I thought everyone who watches the show is little girls. Please don't try to put words into my mouth, as they say.

All I'm saying is that with the voice characterizations and visual designs of Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo I tend to forget sometimes that they are supposed to be girls. Maybe it's because they're ponies and so they don't have wide hips and breasts... I don't have this problem with the Equestria Girls versions of the characters, just the Ponyville versions.

I totally agree with you that gender stereotypes are unfair and stupid. I've had to deal with those things first-hand myself. But that's really the crux of all I've been trying to say here, that I think the developers went just a little too over-the-top with the masculinity of the character designs. Maybe something as simple as having Rainbow Dash wear her mane in a pony tail rather than the sterotypical Lesbian mullet would have been all that was necessary to remind me more often of her femininity. Or maybe a ribbon in her tail like Applejack. Applejack has a deep voice and a cowboy hat and one would think I'd have the same problem with her, but I never have, maybe because just her tail style seems so feminine. Just a simple detail could make the world of difference.
