“Presumably one who wants to keep a girl/woman happy (cf. “son-in-law”). It has always been thus.”
No normal male is chomping at the bit for a live action musical fairy tale love story remake of an animated Disney movie. They might bite the bullet and take the women and girls in their life to something like that, they might even enjoy doing so, as it makes the people they care about happy. But they aren’t gung-ho about fruity musicals, gay stuff or no gay stuff. I mean come on, what man or boy is going to say something like this is their favorite movie?

My teenage son enjoyed the movie , had some lol moments like when the beast nailed belle with a snowball and the dialogue as he suffered through transforming from being socially awkward
We had a mixed group of 11 ages 8- adult including 2 boys and they all enjoyed it
Nailed it!
Well, at the end of the weekend, 60% were females and 40% males.
