First sentence...Where there are Ponies, there are little girls — and Bronies.Since I'm not a little girl or a Brony where the heck does that leave me?

Male-dominated fanbases are always catered to, females are (usually) overlooked, unless it's something atrocious like Twilight or another book series I won't mention here.

I don't know what is worse, people who think it's kinda wierd for guys to like ponies or people who think guys liking ponies is something worthy of praise.
The recent popularity has been an "epiphany" for Hub president and CEO Margaret Loesch, who was an executive producer for the original 1980s My Little Pony cartoon as well as for those of its fellow Hasbro toy franchises G.I. Joe and Transformers. (The Hub is a joint venture of Hasbro and Discovery.)
