If Movies/Music/Toys Were Made To Appeal Or Target Females, Doesn’t That Mean It Was Made For Females Only (Or Else, What’s The Difference)?

[MM305]

An example will be boy bands who were made to be publix sex/love figures for girls, or Hence the numerous of songs that are about loving a girl, hear-shaped products, perfumes, etc.

This can go to Disney princess movies having a huge female following or Barbies being sold at the girl section in stores.

Every consumer item whether it be food, toys, films, scent, pop music, games, books, cars - everything that is made to be sold - is created with a target market in mind.

Age, gender, social class, financial means are the primary considerations which are further broken down in to sub categories.

People though are individuals and can't be put in to a particular box so although Barbie's target market is young girls who like pink there will be some boys and adults who enjoy it too.
That applies to 99 % of commerce.
The other one per cent are things that are of no use to people outside the target market.

[MM305]

Does that mean you wouldn’t consider them “for girls” despite a huge female following?

[pastafreak]

As Barry said..." everything that is made to be sold - is created with a target market in mind. "....therefore the products you've mentioned are usually produced *with* a female audience in mind.

[barry1010]

Made for girls, yes, but not for girls only

[MM305]

How would you explain the difference to a male who feels like she shouldn’t be interested since it was made for females or has a huge female following?

For example, attending a boy band concert that is filled with females only.

Is this yet another question about guilty pleasures?

[Captain2]

Are you still going on about flamin' Boy Bands? Tedious in the extreme.

[Captain2]

A virtual 'snap' there, Jo. :))

This is regarding the debate of if something is mage for females, isn’t it consisted for females thing.

To ask again:

How would you explain the difference to a male who feels like she shouldn’t be interested since it was made for females or has a huge female following?

For example, attending a boy band concert that is filled with females only.

[Neveracrossword]

MM, the distinctions have been pointed out to you several (many?) times before. If a male feels 'he shouldn't be interested', he needs to grow up a little.

[scorpiojo]

It is just the same question over and over again, MM/MEMicster. If you like something, buy it or if you like their music, go to a gig.

[MM305]

Never a crossword - “ …If a male feels 'he shouldn't be interested', he needs to grow up a little.”

Can you further elaborate on this? What would growing up have to do with a male questioning himself if he should be interested in something that was made for females?

[Neveracrossword]

MM, I meant grow up, wise up, stop thinking nonsense, think like a mature adult...
These questions have been occupying you for some considerable time. Many people here have offered you sensible, rational responses, and all that happens is we go back to the start of the loop.

[Neveracrossword]

MM, any sensible male would know that it is perfectly OK for a man, any man, to attend a concert of his choice. He would not need to constantly seek reassurance or validation. In my view, only a very immature male would let himself be so preoccupied by such stuff... over and over again.

[MM305]

You believe he would even though he’ll stand out among a female audience?

[wolf63]

what if he did stand out? Nothing will happen or, more likely, the girls wouldn't even notice.

They will notice you if you are totally uncomfortable being there - be confident and enjoy yourself.

[Neveracrossword]

MM, yes, I know many men - with brains - and it wouldn't bother them in the slightest... if they wanted to be there and turned out to be the only male there (a highly unlikely scenario, by the way). A fear of 'standing out' seems a rather childish outlook.

[MM305]

Is a fear of standing out a childish outlook if it’s because they do not want to draw any to unwanted attention to themselves? Leading into questioning, teasing, bullying, or assault)?

I’m not asking this about just going to concerts, but being in public in general.
