It's been the story of my childhood, truly. I was a fan of lots of shows that wanted nothing to do with me because there were only a tiny handful of shows that were actually targeted for me.

To be fair, though, I don't think Cartoon Network was so openly hostile towards female viewers until a short while ago, so I guess in a way we've actually gone backwards.
