Guys: do you feel effeminate for liking Ayu?

I don't, haha. As far as I see it, liking Ayu simply means I like Ayu. Her songs, for the most part, have a universal theme and I've never felt that something she sung would fit women alone.

Females are probably her demographic as far as fashion is concerned, but I don't think her music is so limited. Sure, women eat it up, but I think everyone, for example, feels heartache, so I don't feel like a woman for listening to that.

But you raise a good point. Society wants people to believe that only women should be "lovey-dovey" or emotional or like "cute" things, but I don't buy that. I don't think people should be told how to act or feel based on their gender or made to feel bad because they act a certain way.
