Did you know that it is perfectly normal for a man to appear in public wearing pink pony ears and tail? No, really.  There is nothing at all unusual about that. And if you don't believe me then I will write an overlong article trying to convince you of its complete normalcy.

Such is the attitude of Jennifer Goforth Gregory of The Atlantic who tries a bit too hard to convince the readers that men wearing flashy pony costumes is absolutely normal. The funniest thing about Gregory plugging such men aka "Bronies" is how much obvious effort she puts into this endeavor.  Over and over again she reminds us that men "coming out of the stable" as they call it is perfectly acceptable male behavior. You might remember Ronan Farrow earlier this year telling us how normal the Brony lifestyle is and now Gregory continues this theme but with a lot more effort:

THIS. I have watched the cartoons and they are cleverly written and quite watchable.

No, I am never going to a “Brony” convention, I have to work two jobs and beyond that, I have *a life*. But with all the rot and ruin the Obamunist and the Commiecrats are inflicting upon this once great nation, this is harmless.

Let's not be crusty fuddy-duddies who just scorn everything.

OK, *that’s* clever.
