Yeah yeah, I know that, I have even said that myself before, but I consider gender inequality out of the question. Maybe some ponies or activist groups in Equestria look down on a particular gender(both genders, not just male), but politically or “officially” ? NO.
EDIT - Another way of saying it is this, Equestria is not “sunshine and rainbows” like you said, but politically it seems mostly benevolent, and widespread or encouraged gender inequality would contradict that. Hopefully you get what I am saying here, I am not always the best at finding the right words for things.
The fact that the princesses would not allow it is my first and hopefully last argument against it.
I feel very strongly on this subject. I don’t mind it if it’s alternate universe or something, but in the canon Equestria? Why, just why…
