Seconded. Women and girls are expected to empathize, sympathize, and relate to male protagonists. It's simply presumed we will.
I genuinely believe the binds of early misogyny could be loosened in young minds by expecting the same of boys with female protags.

Please PLEASE let Dreamworks' FORGOTTEN ISLAND be a good film and make Pixar eat their words, also enough with the "boys can't enjoy girl movies" rhetoric
The boys that "can't" enjoy girl movies were taught & socialized to think that girl-focused movies are inferior and/or unrelatable to them

A former staffer claims Disney felt âlittle boys couldnât see themselves in it,â allegedly saying, âWe canât have a girl power movie.â
