Reply to comment by angryechoesbeware in Why don’t I, as a woman, like books with female protagonists? by out_cyder

> I'm just really straight.

English is not my native language, not sure I understood. You relate more to main male characters because you are attracted to males and not to women? Even in horror books, not even romance novels? You only enjoy reading about main POVS characters you would be attracted to?

I didn't really word it right lol. My situation is different from OP's, I'm more talking about my favorite characters from each piece of fiction I read being male, not necessarily the main POV characters. My point was I'm just more drawn to them and it doesn't mean I have internalized misogyny or anything like that, so the same might apply for OP? Or not, I don't know.

I just did not understand the comment of you "I'm just really straight." and how that related to "favorite characters from each piece of fiction I read being male".

But sure, you can like whatever you like and do not need my permission or anybody's really. But it is interesting to analyze this.

I mean just because I tend to be more drawn to male characters doesn't necessarily mean I have some deep thing against women inside.

I did not say you had. I just did not understood the "I'm just really straight." in relation to be drawn to male characters. I still do not, but whatever.

Sorry, I know you didn't. But yes, thats why I'm drawn to them. I just find them interesting and all that.
