I wouldn't exactly call Nuku Nuku a "girl cartoon."

Pretty sure they went after the moe-loving crowd somewhat. x )  And the Sailor Moon anime leaned more in that direction than the manga.  But I get what you're saying.

I remember Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Brite; I also watched Pippi Longstocking and Punky Brewster as a kid.  I was never part of a household where I was expected NOT to like series / films with female protagonists.

I would also like to mention that I had toys and paraphernalia from G1, a lunch box  majesty and surprise, (figures)

response to fan mail....

my step father  threw these out when I left for boarding school in 1996

You're not supposed to, but that's only what society says. People are stupid. Watch what you want, even if your parents (If you live with them) tell you not to. Only thing stopping you is if it's illegal to watch.

I was going to say that I don't know of any countries that would ban cartoons simply because it was geared towards girls, but upon closer scrutiny, entire nations that adopt islam have banned girl related stuff... in one country they had to smuggle barbie dolls on to the black market----smuggling things on to the black market that's what done with drugs and other forms of contraband...... 

my bio parents were cool with my mlp obsessions. they were the ones that bought most of the G1, and G3 stuff
