Sure. But that's not really the point a few of us here are trying to make. I totally agree that there are many, many good stories out there that feature male protagonists -- quite frankly, I wouldn't be able to enjoy popular culture or really, virtually ANY culture if I couldn't enjoy texts with male protagonists.
The point is that it is by no means accidental that male characters dominate cultural texts, or that we -- men and women -- find men easier to relate to. It's sad, but not accidental. And not just sad for women -- I mean, how pathetic is it that people suggest that men can't relate to female characters? Personally, I'd like to think that male audiences are smarter than that, but maybe I'm wrong.
