Many women often complain that they can't identify with female characters in movies/comics/mangas/anime aimed to a male public because those girls are shaped by the male gaze and are like complements or prizes to the male protagonists, their whole existance as characters is justified only by being "the girl" of the protagonist... however, I feel the same about many male characters in shoujo mangas... I can't identify with them in any way, they are like pretty shells that exist only to romance the female protagonist. I think it makes sense. If there was ever a MB encyclopedia, it would obviousy be catered to girls...
