Why does it matter that fewer women like Star Wars?
It doesn’t matter. People like what they like. They don’t what they don’t. It’s not for you to feel oppressed on their behalf when they couldn’t care less about it.
I’m saying it’s not a problem in and of itself but it is emblematic of other problems that exist in our culture
Okay, yes, the culture does play a large part in encouraging people to prefer certain things. I don’t know if it’s a “problem” or not so long as someone can like what they like without being ridiculed. (I’m looking at you, Frink. -.-)
It is not for us to say every demographic should find equal interest in things (including Star Wars). In my view tolerance and equality are similar beasts, approaching the same argument from opposite angles.
