It would seem VERY strange. Yet we don't bat an eye when almost everyone is a man. That's patriarchy in action, baby! And yes, no doubt the show will introduce more female characters. But it won't be enough to undo the normalization of patriarchy that has already occurred.

You're right, it isn't. I have this weird thing where I want to see societies in which women are more or less equally numerous, equally important and equally participatory as men. Patriarchy just rubs me the wrong way for some reason, I don't know why. https://twitter.com/Bearocalypse/status/1197952388537241611?s=20 …

And She-Ra is in many ways a show explicitly ABOUT centering women, but when shows are so dominated by men, they can still be seen as just "normal" shows.https://twitter.com/ianmclaughlin94/status/1197957293054124032?s=20 …

Never ceases to be wild to me how some people react to even mild criticism of massively successful popular entertainment as if just by uttering such critique, you’re passing a law that prevents anyone from admiring or enjoying that thing.

"Background characters" absolutely matter. When almost every bartender, cab driver, random shop owner and other bit part person is a man, it sends a message. Do y'all know that historically even in crowd scenes, women are drastically underrepresented? https://twitter.com/VarlusMD/status/1197985255027888135?s=20 …pic.twitter.com/jadoU1xOrt

You know what I would do? Just watch it and enjoy it. I NEVER wait a show with a pad and paper noting how many women are in a show, trans people, gay people or any other person. I just watch quality shows with quality production values. I know silly me, right?
