Well most tv shows, especially kids shows tend to lean to the male audience, with a hint of female influence. I really like how this a show catering to more of the female gender with a slight male influence. And I like how the show isn't much for romance. Yes there are a few cute episodes here and there. Like hearts and hooves day. Oh and don't doubt female power. We can be just as strong and good leaders any stallion. And don't forget, there are stallions in high positions. Like shining armor. The captian of th e royal guard. And if not for marrying Cadence, was probably Celestia's personal body guard in my opinion lol. I'm sure there are people wanting a prominate male figure in the show, but honestly, I don't see that happening anytime soon
