On the article Candles for Dudes: Fun Gift or Proof Manliness is Dead?

ReplySomewhat related, but I was on a PBS Idea Channel kick the other day, and came across this particularly interesting thesis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Est3UNs-LIk
For those not familiar with Bronies, they are adult male fans of the recent cartoon "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic." The argument Idea Channel makes is that they are changing the definition of masculinity. They are perfectly normal dudes who simply enjoy a show that is marketed (although evidently not exclusive) to little girls.
I submit it for your consideration.

No worries, that's not advertising. You're allowed to plug something you've enjoyed. (Also why we have a place for people to rate local businesses!)

This comment is just an attack on another user, and nothing else. Thus it has been deleted. You're free to disagree, don't take it out on other members of the community.

That is really cool. I am not much of a runner, but hearing these stories kind of makes the experience concrete for me. I never really know whether cheering for athletes does anything, so that's cool. Thanks for sharing.

Frankly, it's a little unfair to accuse me of double-speak. I am still learning the schools and the town, so I have more or less only got the information presented at this meeting and in the Patch archives. I am not attempting to conceal anything, because I am genuinely not aware of anything that requires concealing--many of these issues are new to me.

As far as I understand it, this was not a public event. I was not informed of the interview until after the fact, either. We do try to run previews for events when possible, but for a lot of things, the real meat of the story is at the event itself.
Should there be events you would like to see more coverage of, you are welcome to post them on the Events page or Announcements page. http://wellesley.patch.com/events and http://wellesley.patch.com/search/announcements respectively. These put things more on my radar. An e-mail with a link also helps me consider it for the front page. As I am running both the Wellesley and the Needham sites, I rely heavily on tips from readers.

We are running a map for people to read this weekend. Great way to get some more visibility on this.
