"Misandristic" is not in the dictionary... Omnipotent Q

From [1]:

A better modern Greek term for a man-hater is misandrist, though it’s hardly common and appears in only a few dictionaries, with the noun for the concept being, as you’d expect, misandry.

Maybe better to change it to man-hating? Angela 02:07, Sep 11, 2003 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. I'm sure many could have guessed the meaning of the word, but it's still an odd one. And I don't mean to be an ass, just commenting. Omnipotent Q 23:14, 14 Nov 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Made a number of additions/deltions

I made a number of edits to the text under the identity 153.39.170.184. Please feel free to add or modify what I've written. My rationale for modifying the article is that the series does not explore the issue of pedophilia; rather it seems more correct to me to state that the film explores the issue of sex between an adult/teacher and a teenage minor. I also felt that it was necessary to more clearly separate the issue of cross-dressing/homosexuality and sex with a minor.

Are you the one who wrote most of that leading section (from the revision history, it didn't seem to have been there before your work on the article)? If so... dude, did we watch the same show? I've seen a lot of anime, and I My Me! is a very bland show which does NOT try to present sexual diversity in an attempt to draw awareness and to educate -- the cross-dressing and the ephebophilia are devices for the show's fairly weak plot. That whole leading section reads like someone's Asian Studies thesis, casually lifted and applied to this anime and one which would apply just as well, if not better, to any of a dozen anime built around the same plot devices as this one (90% of which are at least more interesting and thought-provoking -- though most likely not in the progressive way the leading section suggests -- than I My Me). That leading section is going to mislead many an inquisitive anime fan into watching this show, and they're NOT going to see what those paragraphs suggest is in the anime. I My Me! is a low-budget romance who uses the cross-dressing and the ephebophilia to distinguish itself from the dozens of other sappy school romances out there -- nothing more, nothing less. 75.110.14.59 07:19, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fifth episode

Where is the review in which the reviewer complains about the content of the fifth (the "breast size") episode? That's the most vapid appraisal of the episode that could ever be written! Aggh, that's not really a comment on the article, I just hope somebody can find that review so that we can source it. Also, I sort of think we should give the episode a fair shake, as Ms. Amawa does deliver a stirring speech at the end about why we should not appeal to the basest instincts of men, and the episode is largely about the very real insecurities of young women, specifically Fuko, rather than the titillation to be had from watching pubescent girls compare their bust sizes. I just can't think of a way to write it that doesn't sound tit-for-tat. (It's more that the show is frank and less than that it's vulgar.)

Oh, I changed "I My Me! Strawberry Eggs!" to "I My Me! Strawberry Eggs" because that's what's on the box and in the show itself. I hope nobody minds. The two exclamation points are way too hyper anyway. Cherry Cotton 06:37, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Characters

I deleted a line under Hibiki Amawa, due to spoilers, and too much information to a character description. It's meant to be a brief over view of the charcter, not explain the entire plot to it.

Sorry about that! I'd seen details of plot endings on other pages relating to anime and couldn't see a problem. Should references to how Hibiki comes to be known as "bra man" be left in or should they too be excised? Do we need a spoiler warning? Theelf29 10:32, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
