. . . when Mary Martin was stealing the jobs of a dozen young boys in a far more important--yes, dare we say title?--role? Ms. Martin spent a good portion of the 1900s Horning In on and monopolizing the role of PAN every chance she could get. Did anyone treat her like Brandon Teena for strutting around in reverse drag? No Siree Bob, all the incipient feminists cheered "You go, girl!" and sadly there were no organized Masculinists to stand up for the vast majority of boys banished from their birthright Neverland opportunities by Ms. Martin and her ilk. When they remake THE HUNGER GAMES, they'll probably cast another female to fill Jennifer Lawrence's boots as "Katniss Everdeen." Can you imagine the hue and cry the PC lynch mob would raise if the next Panem Archer Phenom turned out to be Katner Everdeen (that is, a guy)?! So how is it that a chick can steal Peter's thunder for decades running, but it causes such a ruckus to "deviate" the tiniest bit in casting a minor role (Ms. Rooney's "Tiger Lily")?
